Sci-fi RPG

Everywhere I go I hear people say there are no good sci-fi RPGs. One, is this true and two what do you consider a good sci-fi RPG.

Just look at the Future Fun Thread. That's the kind of sf rpg I have in mind.

I find d20 Modern + d20 Future a good sci-fi rpg (despite I disagree with some of its content's implementation). I also like T20 despite being disappointed by the d20 system variants they use. I then find that Star-Wars d20 is also a good game, even if I see it as futuristic fantasy rather than sci-fi.

Hmm. If you want, offer feedback to QuikLink before they start developing the next edition of T20. Remind them that VP/WP system is now OGC.

Yeah there are a few good ones ot there, Star Wars D20 is excellent IMO, and Traveller D20 is done well too. Though more science fantasy, Dragonstar is done quite beautifully.

They are developping the next edition of T20? I went to their website and didn't see anything letting me think so, and nothing to offer feedback about it. But if you know of a link for that, I would be glad to know. Thanks.

I know of a great Sci-Fi RPG... it isn't d20 but it is freely available on the net here

The web pages need dramatically sprucing up because I've not worked on it for about 5 years, but there is everything you need to play a pretty nice SciFi RPG.

Take a look!

There are plenty of good Sci-Fi RPG's just not all of them are in print. My personal favourites are 2300AD, and Traveller:New Era both available through DriveThruRPG (they screw you at the Drive thru') thankful I have hard copies so I don't need to use DTRPG.

Then there is Fading Suns (which has fantasy elements), Cyberpunk is pretty good and still possible to get hold of.

It really depends on what you are looking for in a Sci-Fi RPG.

I second this.

I agree with Frukathka on the science fantasy part. I am trying to find a science fiction RPG. I found one that looked really cool but its still in development.
