How do you like it so far??

That's actually normal for most Sci-Fi RPGs as they tend to have more equipment and gears than fantasy. Shadowrun and Starfinder comes to mind. You don't have to use everything the book provides, it's all just options. For me, I'm not going to use every item listed, some of them are useless anyway and takes up too much space on the sheet. Actually, I found FrontierSpace to be surprisingly simple after last night. It's front-loaded at first especially with the chargen, but once you get it down, it's really quick and smooth. I'm also able to remove a lot of the unnecessary stuff from the character sheet, making it fit just on 5x7 page. I'm also able to tweak it easily to my taste and use stuff from BRP, Mythras, etc. So not much work is really needed at all. That's probably why d100 RPGs are so modular in general. FrontierSpace is based on the popular Star Frontiers, which is now owned by WotC. They had tight control on it, which was why FrontierSpace was born. Something like Pathfinder being derived from DnD after the DnD 4e wars.

I just ordered FrontierSpace and it's flying on its way...in 3-6 weeks, but I was able to get the PDF as well from DriveThruRPG. I read it and built a character just tonight. I can't help but wonder if it's possible with some work to make it compatible with BRP and several Chaosium RPGs? I also wonder if it is compatible with Barebones Fantasy and that might be my next purchase. I also want to know people's general thoughts on FrontierSpace here. Love it or hate it? Let me know!

I came across the upcoming SimpleQuest and the creator mentioned it was based on a D100 RPG that was 23 pages from long ago, but he never mentioned what it was called, probably for legal reasons. I would like to know the names of the old D100s that are in few pages like that and if they are still in print that I might like to buy.
