Mythic Babylon at the top of DriveThru’s bestseller list now! Well deserved.

Great deal : )

Yes, I would also use Athletics for that.

As Raleel says, M-SPACE (and Odd Soot) has rules for simplified combat. And they’re generic enough to use with any genre, not just sci-fi. They use 2 Action Points, 11 Special Effects and no Hit Locations. As my players don’t enjoy combat very much, they prefer this downsized version.

(Sorry @Bill the barbarian)

I would love to see it!

Thanks Runeblogger! Good coverage of the contents - and the pros and cons.

MERP had some very nice supplements. I was more into Shadow World, using HERO system instead of RoleMaster. With the massive lineup of supplements ICE had back in the 1980s it’s quite strange how they (almost) disappeared. SpaceMaster wasn’t very big at the time. Traveller and Star Wars d6 were the big sci-fi games if I remember correctly. We ran the SM material as a curious combination of 40% Star Wars, 60% James Bond. Action, investigations and nefarious meta-plots all mixed up in a big, boisterous storytelling cake.

I was a player in a SpaceMaster mega-campaign many years ago. And while the rules were a tad complex for my taste, the campaign was great fun. Of course, as a player I can’t be sure if it was thanks to the GM or the ICE material. Good to see that the books are available though!

I usually end up quite close to Star Wars, without using the actual setting. I also know some people run the old SpaceMaster campaigns with M-SPACE.

It sounds very cool! I would have enjoyed a playtest, but my schedule is full at the moment.
