There is so much love out there for this setting . . . Yet it ticks away idly gathering dust in the WoTC/Hasbro vault like a certain Ark of Covenant.

Maybe there wasn't any fanfare? but a lot of it is on Drivethrurpg.

The main box set, the handbook, bunch of adventures. I don't think it is all of it though.

I started reading through the boxed set book last night. It is very much a product of its time. Lots of (to me) pointless rules about ship movement, tonnage, celestial bodies, etc. Feels like they were trying to simulate what being an Elf aboard a space faring galleon flying through the "ether" between the Crystal Spheres would feel like.

I've been listening to the show since before it started.[br][br]Twitter: https://twitter.com/hyvemynd[br]Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/hyvemynd/[br]Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/hyvemynd[br]Pinterest: https://www.pinterest.com/hyvemynd/[br]MeWe: https://mewe.com/i/hyvemynd[br][br]PbtA whore (thanks @Vyrrk)

Still don't know what my November schedule will be like, but I'm thinking of a "sexy teens in space" game too. After all, in space no one can hear you scream. Regardless of why you're screaming. Heh.

Oh, god, someone please run a game with both Ziggy Stardust and Miss Piggy as pre-gens. She's kinda a scro, right?

Son of a bitch.
That week I'm pulling triple shifts everyday. The 4th-8th I'm on one giant shift and on call the entire month of November.

Kick its ass and game your faces off everybody.

Space horror, huh?

Hmmm...

I have a space comedy variant of Lady Blackbird I put together a while back, though it's not particularly horrific. Still, there are a few other possibilities...

I just bought this.

off drivethru - it's pretty sweet. I have the physical box set (from back in the day), so I haven't re-bought it digitally.

This book has about 17 adventure setups and 9 deck plans. Maybe I should give one a FATE (via Atomic Robo) treatment.

"You are on the crew of a ship with letters of Marquee to hunt pirates."

I could set up Race modes and Class modes and... (well, now I know where my free time went)

hehe => [quote author="@hyvemynd" timestamp="1362012376" source="/post/15179/thread"]It pains me to say this, but [i]Savage Worlds[/i] would probably be a good choice. (Yup, I feel dirty now.)
