Title: [Kickstarter] Systems Malfunction
Post by: AsenRG on October 28, 2016, 02:18:52 PM
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.

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.
