[QUOTE="Turtlejay, post: 5117244, member: 70267"] The Firefly universe has a pretty defined 'style', while at the same time kind of retaining a lot of looseness that makes it really attractive for storytelling. It sounds like a storyteller's dream, really. Watch the shows, learn the style, use a different system. I played in a firefly-inspired d20 modern/future campaign that was very excellent. We were all pretty defined by our roles on ship (captain, doctor, mechanic, cargo :p), and had a pretty good time just doing our thing. Fate would be good for this kind of thing too, IMO, especially the Spirit of the Century flavor. Tweak it to taste, of course. I saw someone mention shadowrun. . .I see where that comes from, and I think I could agree with that, but at the same time I think it might require a lot of hacking to get the Shadowrun default setting to fit in the Firefly world. A lot of assumptions about how things work carry over to the rules. In all, I'm kind of jealous. I have a soft spot for this kind of game. Have fun. . . Jay [/QUOTE]
