Which non-Star Wars or non-Star Trek Sci-Fi RPG do you currently play?

Playing in an Infinity game that just got off the ground. We're playing a group of mercenaries with ties to the Dawn Rebellion. So far the game has a strong Altered Carbon and Bourne Identity vibe. The way Momentum works in play has really helped give the game a thriller / action movie vibe.

Infinity has really strong character setup procedures. The lifepath based character creation really does an excellent job of creating characters that feel like people who have lived actual lives. It's really helped add to the spy thriller / noir feel of play so far.

Might start running 2d20 Dune sometime in the next month.

I play the Infinity miniature game but never played the RPG. The setting is interesting. Very different than the grim dark setting of 40K.

We're playing Interface Zero which is a cyberpunk setting using the Savage Worlds rules. I'm trying to talk my players into giving Alien a shot and I'd like to run Traveller.

Played IZ with SW when in came out. Great memories.

We just took a break from the Mindjammer-campaign, and had what was supposed to be a one-shot in a FATE Core setting where we played scientist at a space station near a wormhole and a straneg anomaly. There was a planned (from the GM's point-of-view) TPK there and we were left last time we played with that we should now remake those characters with the Wearing the Cape-rules (in the same setting)

I'm the GM of a Classic Traveller campaign. We've played about 20 sessions so far over about 3-and-a-half years. The feel is closer to Alien and a bit of Total Recall than it is to Star Wars or Star Trek.

Stellar Adventures and John Carter of Mars (that may be arguably considered sci-fi).

JCoM is something I very much want to play or run, but I'd have to carefully figure out how to sell my group on it.

That sounds very cool.

Ditto. I’m the only Barsoom fan in my circle of geeks, so getting the others excited for it would be next to impossible.

Esper Genesis for about a year or so. Just picked up FrontierSpace, it will be the next game up.

I think for me it would require making it Barsoom et al with the serial numbers filed off. So, I'm thinking generic sandbox-y sword-and-planet.

In which case I maybe might as well just use 5E. Which is not a terrible thing.

Cool. What is your overall impression of Esperanto Genesis?

It is a really good reskin of 5E that is not complete yet. Really looking forward to the 3rd book.
