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.

Goddamnit, I want sci-fi D&D.

Quote from: J ArcanePicture it this way.  Take the classes in D&D, and replace them with equally flavorful sci-fi examples.  Swap the magic out for maybe some kinda psi system.  Take that massive section in the DMG about magic items, and replace it with an equally long list of nifty gadgets and gizmos.  Take the Monster Manual and replace it with a catalog of bizarre critters blantantly ripped off of scifi movies instead of ancient mthology.  

That's my ideal possibility.  

Dragonstar is your game, J.  I just started rereading the Starfarer's Handbook, and it is what you want.

Quote from: Simon OwenDo you not want Star Munchkin the Roleplaying game ???

Kill them all horribly and then take their stuff...but in space !

That's not a bad suggestion.  You can pick it up for less than twenty bucks.
