mattingly Posted December 21, 2009 Report Share Posted December 21, 2009 Re: If you Had to Pick, ONE (already) Setting, to Run in, What is it? Alien Nation. Buddy cop drama mixed with sci-fi. I once ran a short campaign in the setting, and I think it'd be fun to take it further. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RexMundi Posted December 21, 2009 Author Report Share Posted December 21, 2009 Re: If you Had to Pick, ONE (already) Setting, to Run in, What is it? Some very interesting Spread of picks there. Got to say, Space Ghost would get my interest at least out of Nostalgia, not to mention the Pulp Elements inherent in it as well. Alien Nation is an Interesting pick, one that could lead into many other similar kinds of stories as well (District 9 on one side, V on another). I'll also give props to Mr. Surbrook's Kazei 5, though while it has one foot in cyberpunk, the other in various anime, both still have the Sci Fi "Swoosh" on the side of those cross trainers. I'm not gonna bust him for recommending his own material though because he did also sort out Firefly as well, and did at one time (been awhile since I looked and last time I looked it wasn't complete), have Firefly write up's off his site, that put the current Serenity RPG to shame. *Takes a few notes* It's interesting to see the scope of views as well. I did notice, that the trek, leans uber heavy towards the original crew, not so much in the way of Next Gen and Next Gen spin offs out there apparently. ~Rex Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RexMundi Posted December 21, 2009 Author Report Share Posted December 21, 2009 Re: If you Had to Pick, ONE (already) Setting, to Run in, What is it? Yeah I pointed a few of those out to some rabid "Serenity is the Greatest RPG EVER!!! Cortex Uber Alles!!!!!" folks ....they took one look, looked back at the Serenity book, and went and bought 6e HERO. Hell's I've moved over 3K of 6e Product through three stores in the last 2 days....heh, I should be getting commission. For those not familiar with Mr. Surbrook's site I recommend hitting the link and looking. It's worth the time and the only complaint I've ever gotten is from a guy that's blue green color blind. ~Rex ......Fires up the Space Ghost Youtube clip above really loud to scare the office.

Peregrine Posted December 22, 2009 Report Share Posted December 22, 2009 Re: If you Had to Pick, ONE (already) Setting, to Run in, What is it? The setting from Fantasy Games' Unlimited's Space Opera game. The rules themselves were... uneven, but the setting was Exactly What It Says On The Tin.

That could end up with a LOT of additions though ......if you include the Trio, then you have to include Birdman, and if you include Birdman and more heh..... ~Rex....
