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.

Quote from: Soylent Green;349419Amazing Engine get's perhaps worse press than it really deserved. If I remember correctly it  was basically a simple, skill based percentile system.

I agree. We played it not long ago. It wasn't the best of systems, but not the worst. If I had to say something negative about it, I'd say it shows its age...

Star Ace

I'd play either one again in a heartbeat. I LOVED Star Ace. And Chill. And Timemaster. Those three games got a good workout back in the day.

Quote from: GrimGent;348618Hmm. What was it that I mentioned in another thread like this... Ah, yes: I recently picked up a cheap used copy of A.C.E. Agents!, a "super spy science fiction adventure parody" RPG published by Stellar Games in 1992. That one probably doesn't see much action these days, if it ever did in the first place.

dear god i had that. it was amusing.
i tried porting some of the vehicle rules over to Nightlife with marginal success.

Quote from: Broken-Serenity;349418Is anyone still playing Cybergeneration these days?

I was showing it to my wife the other day. I need to work some kind of buffy/bones tv show angle into it to entice her.

Cybergeneration is a valued part of my RPG library.

Quote from: Soylent Green;349419But in the end was most damning, what I suspect sticks to most players mind, was just the cheap, nasty books full of recycled art at a time TSR had pretty much lost all street cred. And if you try running a game with such a damaged reputation there is a good chance the game ends up sucking because the players expected it to suck so never invested that much into their characters to start with.
I confess, the thing that put me off the time was how godawful ugly the books were. I remember looking at the Magitech book and thinking "Wow, this looks like a third-rate Choose Your Own Adventure cover."
I am no longer posting here or reading this forum because Pundit has regularly claimed credit for keeping this community active. I am sick of his bullshit for reasons I explain here and I don\'t want to contribute to anything he considers to be a personal success on his part.

I recommend The RPG Pub as a friendly place where RPGs can be discussed and where the guiding principles of moderation are "be kind to each other" and "no politics". It\'s pretty chill so far.

I'm sold.
New! Cyberblues City - like cyberpunk, only more mellow. Free, fully illustrated roleplaying game based on the Fudge system
Bounty Hunters of the Atomic Wastelands, a post-apocalyptic western game based on Fate. It\'s simple, it\'s free and it\'s in colour!

Quote from: Balbinus;349575Star Ace?  It rings a bell, what was it like?

Zany sci-fi (the polar bear thing is accurate) in the same continuity as Timemaster...and possibly Chill as well. I can't remember. But once you knew one game, you could pretty much run them all.

Well, don't know about "zany" - we played it deadly serious and it worked great. :)

And yes, all three games used the same rules, but I dont think it was the same "universe".
