  • Laid off rule

  • You wrote psychopath wrong.

  • "Free" Speech Absolutist™

  • The thing about a cult is that it doesn’t need you in particular. It needs people. Ideally, idiots. So it doesn’t matter that a lot of people are leaving/will leave Twitter. The idiots will remain, and the platform will serve its purpose.

  • What's your go-to seed/trope?

  • I think a good sci-fi campaign can always benefit from a Heist. Like a train heist or something.

    The flip side, which is also fun, the convoy escort role. The crew is part of a convoy and must defend it from marauders.

    And the Seven Samurai is a classic stationary version of the above that has been adapted time and again for sci-fi.

  • Sci-Fi RPG systems/settings/core rules

  • Added, thank you.

  • Favorite sci-fi RPG settings?

  • Traveller, or better yet 2300AD or Hostile for better fit on the setting with the same classic 2d6 rules. Cy_Borg or Stars Without Number for OSR.

    Diaspora, Mindjammer, or Nova Praxis if you’re willing to try a more modern system (Fate), but the setting should be pretty close on them, depending on where in the story you want it to be. Diaspora should be a good fit if you want to explore different systems throughout a network of spheres.

  • Diferenças entre 1d20, 2d10 e 3d6

  • — Você tem dados em casa?— Ô! Até d4!

  • Relay station [sci-fi]

  • All it needs is a name and you’ve got a ready adventure.

  • Sci-Fi RPG systems/settings/core rules

  • Don’t beat yourself over it. 👍

  • Sci-Fi RPG systems/settings/core rules

  • Right, that uses the Fantasy Flight Games' Narrative Dice System (same as WH Fantasy).

  • Sci-Fi RPG systems/settings/core rules

  • Wow. I hadn't heard of a single item in your list except for SLA Industries. Not that surprising considering most are long out of print.

    By Jupiter Chronicles do you mean Jovian Chronicles?

  • Sci-Fi RPG systems/settings/core rules

  • Sounds like you’d like Hostile by Zozer Games. They have a solo version too where you control a crew.

  • Got to make due

  • Why is it worn out near the top?

  • Dice Bags

  • Truncated d4 s deal less damage… as caltrops. Also look at that table 🤩

  • Sistema de Super Heróis

  • Ninguém citou ainda Mutants and Masterminds, que é um clássico, baseado em d20.

    Marvel Heroic Roleplaying não tá mais sendo vendido (a Marvel não renovou a licença), mas o pessoal fala muito bem. Sistema Cortex.

  • Sci-Fi RPG systems/settings/core rules

  • That's right. Arguably the most famous?

    Come to think of it, I don't think there ever was a Fate official Star Wars setting. I didn't find it, anyway.

  • Sci-Fi RPG systems/settings/core rules

  • BattleTech! That's the one. Didn't know they made an RPG out of it.

    Firefly is an out of print Cortex Plus game by Margaret Weis Productions. It's in the list as well as Serenity (the Cortex Classic game by MWP, isn't IP licensing fun?).

  • Sci-Fi RPG systems/settings/core rules

  • Rifts is a classic, but also a very strange animal. And for some reason I thought Robotech was a minis game (must be confusing with something else).

    Star Wars is already listed. I know those are technically different games, but I'm trying to keep the list as concise as possible (grouping the multiple versions of the same setting under one entry). I don't know much about the history of star wars RPG though. How would you summarize it? (WEG d6, d20, Fate)?

  • Sci-Fi RPG systems/settings/core rules

  • Done and thank you!

  • Thamber system

  • Sweet!
