[QUOTE="GAAAHHH, post: 3396204, member: 37530"] I'm waiting on a few new releases before deciding on a Sci-Fi game. Spacemaster: Privateers is going to be reprinted with the errata fixed (I can't stand a game that needs to reference errata, and there was a lot needed in the old printing). HARP SF is in Beta testing, and is only available in PDF, so I'll wait for the print release. And SpaceQuest (using RuneQuest rules) is starting development. I have GURPS, but I prefer that for modern games. The SF stuff (space ships in particular) in 4th edition is a little sparse. I still need to buy Ultratech before I can use it for Shadowrun type games (I have Shadowrun 2nd and 3rd but I prefer GURPS). Star Frontiers is a great game, but the group I play with won't play it because they can't (or won't) get ahold of copies of the game because it's out of print. Star Drive (Alternity) is cool, but it's out of print, and on top of that, it's hard to teach to new players (for me). It's a great setting, though. Star Wars is only good if you want to run a Star Wars game. I don't mind playing, but it's not my preferred setting to run. D20 Future is a good toolkit, but it's not a complete game. D20 Future Tech makes it a little easier, but it's still a little too much work for me. D20 stat blocks are a major pain. At least with GURPS, I only have to stat up major NPCs and can use a simple template for minor goons. I'm not familiar with any other SF games. Burning Empires looks interesting, but I'm not sure about the system. [/QUOTE]
