[Hivemind] Arwink, need to talk to you.

[Mr Fidgit]

Ya, but that's not my expertise....

no problem. i'm sure if you proposed that as a game, no one would say no (besides, it's close enough to that era, mark could still play a smart - a$$ed, tough as nails detective )


phase world - the rifts setting?

 

[arwink]

i completely understand. one of the players in my former group has realllly wanted to do a non-fantasy game for some time (which is why i was considering trying to convert Star Frontiers to d20 Modern...)

Have you seen Blood and Space - the sci fi toolkit RPGnow put together? It seems pretty cool, and should adapt pretty well to various genres.

 

[Steve Jung]

Ya, but that's not my expertise. And with the depression it's easy to get everyone together by them all taking jobs for the same person.

So instead of selling pencils or apples, they'll be selling forbidden knowledge?

phase world - the rifts setting?

Ya, the space setting when taken away from Rifts holds up pretty well. Once the high powered races are either eliminated or toned down it becomes something a kin to most space age games.

nope - and unless someone i know has it, i probably won't for some time....sounds like it might be worth taking a look though

Well, getting paid to gather it up actually

 

[Mr Fidgit]

...or maybe the apples are the forbidden knowledge!

I'd recommend it. It's relatively cheap (if you can handle PDF) and it works as a good building block for space games.

I'm still contemplating a game that uses those rules paired with Four Colour to Fantasy to run a Legion of Superheroes type campaign (or to let people custom design their alien races).

sounds fun! i'd play

(great comic, too. at least when i read it...)

 

[Crothian]

A supers game would be fun, but I could never run it. However a Pulp super heroes game could be enjoyible.....
