Who Wants Some Science Fiction/Space Adventure Modules?

Rechan · Nov 24, 2007

What system or setting really.

I think a fantasy-sci-fi for Eberron would be intriguing. Maybe something on one of the moons. Mm.

But normal sci fi isn't my thing. I do think there'd be a large market for it tho.

Yeah, I would be interested in knowing the system too.

Actually, I am working on releasing said module in more than one system. I'm crazy, I know, but I'm not gonna stop being that way anytime soon.

How about D20 Future, Dawning Star,and Bulldogs! Maybe more, who knows?

All depends on my master plans.

There was already an entire D&D sci-fi setting called Dragonstar from FFG. And except for some die hard fans people it failed miserably.

Dawning Star? Dawning Star!

Yeah, I've posted over there on the Eberron board... but let's add a more emphatic "YES"!

Cheers, LT.

I would buy it depending on the system it was written for, D20 Future topping my list.

I second this. If it's for use with D20 future, I'll buy it.

Thanks,

Thank you!

Count me in too. I would love to get more Science Fiction at our table. Count me as one of the very interested.

I'd be interested ... but would need to see a short free adventure first.

Sci-fi is really hard to do right, since you have to explain everything. I find that a lot less thinking goes on in sci-fi games that I've been in compared to fantasy games because all the players are at least somewhat familiar with medieval times, but just stare blankly because we don't know how a 26th-century computer program works. Less thinking, more skill checks

Then there's technology issues. D20 Future, IMO, failed utterly in attempting to balance these things. (DnD greatly overuses magic items, the equivalent of super-tech... but at least it has a way to limit them, too.) A setting like Firefly works much better than d20 Future, even though it wasn't designed for gaming, simply due to the lower tech level; the heroes use regular weapons, and their spaceship isn't even armed.
