This is a site for discussing roleplaying games. Have fun doing so, but there is one major rule: do not discuss political issues that aren't directly and uniquely related to the subject of the thread and about gaming. While this site is dedicated to free speech, the following will not be tolerated: devolving a thread into unrelated political discussion, sockpuppeting (using multiple and/or bogus accounts), disrupting topics without contributing to them, and posting images that could get someone fired in the workplace (an external link is OK, but clearly mark it as Not Safe For Work, or NSFW). If you receive a warning, please take it seriously and either move on to another topic or steer the discussion back to its original RPG-related theme.

So, I saw this system's on KS now. And I'm intrigued...if nothing else, they have great art!

But I'm an RPG player, not an art critic! They say it's using something called Singularity System. How is it, I ask;)?
Has anyone played the Singularity System? If yes, how does it compare to Mongoose Traveller and T5 (with me having extremely high opinion of both)? Comparisons to Blue Planet v2 (also highly rated by me)?




Also, just because I mentioned BP2: Here's a KS from the creator of BP.

While I have about zero interest in card-based systems, I want to tip everyone who has never played Blue Planet: Bythe text, it seems you can back for $1 and add the 10 Blue Planet books published by Biohazard for $20 more:D!
I've got everything published for Blue Planet already, so it's not of much help to me. But someone might be interested.

Shadowrun's game system used in space, it sounds like. Meh.

Eclipse Phase with Shadowrun 4e rules.  The core die mechanic...eh, I prefer the older SR target numbers, but it's not a deal breaker.  If they do armor, damage, etc just like SR4, then not interested.
Even the the "cutting edge" storygamers for all their talk of narrative, plot, and drama are fucking obsessed with the god damned rules they use. - Estar

Using Shadowrun 4e's system? OK, my interest dropped by something like 80% just by reading it.
The setting looks interesting, I like d6 system, but Shadowrun's system is pretty much a deal-breaker.
