Out here on the Medieval Rim of the galaxy, the locals don't even know what a spaceship is. For more than eleven years, the navbeam recievers have remained silent ... just tiny blue lights, blinking in the darkness: NO SIGNAL.They call this planet Vanth, and they call the starport "God City." In the old days, space merchants played the "visitors from the godly realms" routine and the locals - accustomed to sorcery, like most medievals - ate it whole. That lie is a luxury no one can afford anymore, and God City is going native, becoming as much a fantasy metropolis as anything else.  The wizards and warriors of Vanth have accepted that the "sky gods" are here to stay. The star-soldiers and space-merchants wonder if there's anything left of the galaxy they remember. In a situation like this, there's only one reasonable course of action left: make friends, form a party, and go adventuring!Greetings! I'm late to the party in discovering this late 70's gem of an rpg. I know it isn't d20 but Encounter Critical is a great rpg for Sci-Fi Fantasy adventure. I'd like to run a game here at EN World. Any interest? The Bee Girls of Vanth await![sblock=Oh yeah...] I came late to the joke. I know EC isnt a late 70's lost rpg. Its a faux homage parody of the early mimeographed homebrew games that were the genesis of our hobby. But I've been itching to run a Heavy Metalesque, kitchen sink type game that doenst take itself too seriously. I'm looking for players. Obviously players are going to need an open mind for a game like this which is playable but is very...different.Some other links to consider about EC <a href="http://%5BURL=%22http://jrients.blogspot.com/%22" target="_blank">http://jrients.blogspot.com/]Jeff Rients gameblog</a>  which has quite a few EC entries,  (his robot wizard on his site is an EC PC.<a href="http://rondo-encountercritical.blogspot.com/" target="_blank">Mesmerators of the 65th Quadrant</a> an EC blog fansite.Theres even a yahoo fangroup.Again,I would love to try to run this poorly worded awesome game.  I may run Jeff Rients adventure Asteroid 1618. Just grab the  free download pdf on the website linked at the top of the thread-its just 28 pages long. Give a look and let me know if you want to play.[/sblock]</blockquote>
