Apparently a computer game magazine gave one of the Star Trek games a good rating recently, but that's after many failures. The same thing goes for a lot of Star Trek RPGs.Star Wars has a bit better luck in this area, if only because it's canon is strictly defined.I think D20 Future might help out quite a bit, especially when it comes to Star Trek. A Jedic Advanced Class or three might help Star Wars, but it won't be put out by WotC since they're already selling D20 Star Wars.And that's just the material in the book; I can tell you out of all the sci-fi programs I have an "encyclopedic" knowledge of, I'd only feel comfortable playing StarCraft. (Not that StarCraft Alternity junk, though.) And if the StarCraft franchise ever comes to an end (when the heck will StarCraft 2 be released anyhow?) I doubt I could run it either.I'm a big fan of Babylon 5 but I'd be totally stumped as to what kind of adventure to set up and run. I'd probably need big book of plot hooks to be able to actually run it. The franchise is done, and much as I liked Crusade there's not enough plot to run a game with.Running a game when the whole storyline is known and all the important stuff has already been done is hard. It's one of the problems LotR RPGs have run into.</blockquote>
