Quote from: RPGPundit;634570Star Wars D20 Revised

Stars Without Number

Robotech/RIFTS et al.

Traveller (classic and D20)

All of these in no particular order of precedence.

You liked the QuikLink d20 Traveller? What about Mongoose, or do you lump that under Classic?

I liked the one that was called Traveler T20, the big thick book; my most recent Traveller campaign was run with that and it went quite well.

I don't know about Mongoose directly because I've never tried it; from what I've heard its fairly close to Classic.

My list is identical to yours Zachary. I thought I might add Blue Planet to your list because I like it's setting. I then realized that Starcluster 3 would be perfect to run the Blue Planet setting with.

Yeah - that's the trouble with that game. No identity!

We have our Detectives in Spaaace game for SC3 this Saturday. So excited.

Star Frontiers or Mongoose Traveller. Both are excellent.

Star Wars d6 was also pretty darn good.

Well when I get the chance, in this order;

1. Star Trek (LUG)
2. Traveller (MGP)
3. Thousand Suns 2nd edition
4. SWN
5. Star Wars d6

All great.

Quote from: APN;633668WEG Star Wars probably

Quote from: The Butcher;633829Most of it was WEG (D6) Star Wars (several games including an epic Old Republic campaign, well before the prequels came out)...

I've got Stars Without Number and D6 Space in PDF just begging to see serious use, and I've also got Eclipse Phase in print and I'm dying to give it a try.

Another game that I've owned in PDF for some time now, that looks very, very interesting, is Bill Coffin's Septimus.

Quote from: TristramEvans;633833For [BSpace Opera[/B] my fav is hands down WEG's Star Wars, 1st Edition.

Quote from: J Arcane;633976Star Wars D6 - the only Star Wars system, as far as I'm concerned. So good.

Quote from: flyingcircus;6353735. Star Wars d6.

...ditto.

It kind of makes you wonder how they never made a go of it once they lost the license.

I just ordered Other Dust from DTRPG, hardback + pdf.

Other dust is post appocalyptic, so still scifi.
Just started reading the pdf on my tablet now. Looks great so far.

AFAIK, WEG had a lot of money tied up in trying to save its parent company at the time.

I think D6 space is more or less the same thing, albeit stripped of license so without various bits (force, races etc). Need to take a closer look at that, but I have every Star Wars game going (save the newest FFG version). My favourite was 1e, simply because I was a fan and waiting for it to come out (in what, 1986?) Was somewhat blown away by the game and quality, but its not perfect.

It plays very well as a license free space adventure game though, recommended.

I got a review copy of this recently, but its way back in my queue, and I haven't even had time to crack the book open yet.

I read it over the weekend back to back.
I'll be running this soon for my kids who love RPGs.
The rules are pretty much the same as SWN. There's no psionics in it (which is fine), you're expected to get SWN, which is free anyway on PDF, so no biggie there.

It's has HUGE amounts of great reference material for generating Post apocalyptic areas and all sorts of stuff. Even if you never run Other dust. it's great to use for other Post apocalyptic RPGs.

I read a review of it which criticised the mutations for being too limited, but to me it seems very detailed, it's just generation of mutations is different than say Gammaworld, which has specific block for mutations.
In Other dust you refer to various tables to build up a mutation, so actually it can be as detailed and varied as you like.

It's probably more of a gritty feel to the mutations than say Gammaworld as well. To me it feels like perhaps one of the very early editions of Gammaworld.

I was really rooting for WEG at one point but damn if the owner didn't do everything in his power to drive it into the ground

Well, as I commented previously, while I really love Gamma World, "not exactly like gamma world" is probably a good thing if you're making a P-A RPG.. otherwise what would be the point?
