There is a difference ya know...Star Wars is cool ...sci-fi game and has elements of Science fantasy without the Fantasy magic system which makes it Science Fiction. And it is adaptable to many different ideas and forms of story telling. What era are you talking about?   In my opinion the D&D of Sci-Fi will always be Traveller because it was the first ...very much like D&D was a first. Traveller accounts for any era of history and if you read something in a book you could adapt that to a story line for your game.  I don't mean just gaming book either..any sci-fi book. Traveller has gone through  many incaranations and people still love the classic traveller game...which says alot about the adaptability of the classic system. There have been allot of science fiction games out there. Shadowrun was always a favorite in the early 90's but also was not the first Cyperpunk style game it was the most popular however. Shadowrun has Science Fantasy elements as well as some really cool science fiction in it.  Gamma World was later changed and updated to Alternity. Star Frontiers ...well I played it only a few times back in the day and our gaming group did not care much for it...maybe the fact that we also played Traveller was what made the difference to us. Just my 2cents, Darius</blockquote>
