[QUOTE="doghead, post: 1586868, member: 8243"] The DP9 stuff is good. Simple but effective. I actually like the granular nature of it. It tends to discourage the whole "insert pseudo-science bit here" hardware race. The "number of dice rolled is equal to skill" with "bonus is equal to stat" works nicely. Talented inexperienced characters can pull off amazing stunts, but skilled charcters can be relied on to get it done. Jovian is probably a better choice than Heavy Gear if you are looking for a space based game. But, at least the last time I played it, it was all insystem. Classic Traveller is a really solid game with a good solid science basis. the little black books, available in reprint as noted, allow you to build worlds, spaceships, robots as well as significantly expand the character generation choices. There is not much in the way of character improvement built in, but this just shifted the emphasis onto in game success. I'm not familier with Trans Human. [/QUOTE]
