[QUOTE="SteveC, post: 5351953, member: 9053"] I ran a Serenity game for a while using the Spirit of the Century rules (which are the FATE system). It worked marvelously. I had to do some adaption, but I found a nice hack for it on the web. If I would do it again, I'd use Strands of Fate, which has just come out as a PDF, and will be available in print from LULU shortly. Here's a [URL="http://www.rpgnow.com/product_info.php?products_id=84757"]link[/URL]. I like FATE because its uses aspects, which seemed to work out exceptionally well to simulate the characters and their stories from the show/movie. If you haven't ever used aspects before, they're basically a snippet about the character, that when it's relevant, can be invoked to give you a bonus or compelled to get you into trouble. Joss is a very...verbose.. writer, and Firefly had a lot of dialogue in it, and aspects can really bring that to light, especially with some of the character's repeated lines. It's something I'd definitely look at. --Steve [/QUOTE]
