[QUOTE="Centisteed, post: 5581727, member: 6668296"] It seems ok so far. Reminds me of Modern setting with some scifi elements added in. There's different ways to play sci-fi. One way is this way..taking a Modern setting & extrapolating the future on top of it. The other way is to take a Medieval or fantasy setting. For instance, I just finished reading The Winds of Gath & that's the first book of a saga that is a source of inspiration for Traveller. In that series, the Traveler (hence where the RPG gets its name), simply moves from one world to the next with whatever means he has available to pay for the low passage fare,for instance. Most people can't afford space ships & only royalty & higher governing powers can ride in high passage. So far, it doesn't seem that the Dumarest saga spends much time in space, just planet hopping for adventures & the first planet was pretty interesting. It spends a lot of time pointing out the differences between the haves & the have nots & that source of conflict is how the adventure takes off. All of this can probably be fit into a Traveller game, if setup properly. Though in a modern scifi setting, hearing about Kings might make one laugh. :) [/QUOTE]
