Sorry, I shouldn't be trying to dictate your vision of what the game should be about. All I'm asking for is Flash Gordon-style rocketships! I've read a fair bit of Edgar Rice Burroughs, Michael Moorcock, Lin Carter, etc; you might be interested in this upcoming comic: Perils on Planet X Production Blog But, returning to the rocketships bit, what I'd like is a bit Leigh Brackett; action takes place on weird planets, swords more usual than guns, but there are spaceports, perhaps one per world, some adventurers get to rove about the solar system...

1920s space flight? Stephen Baxter had a British astronaut from an alternate world state that the first manned orbital flight lifted off from Ceylon in the twenties; just suppose that the British Interplanetary Society had been formed a decade or so earlier, and had gotten financial backing (I'll put up links to stuff if anyone is interested). One plea: keep it fairly plausible: please use rockets, of "pulp" performance if you must, but not anti-gravity; that's already catered for with "Space:1889" and the like. I really like the idea of 1920s spaceflight; I could game out the whole history of the exploration of the pulp solar system! Grif
