I had long lost interest in RPG's. I absolutley loath d20, well okay loath is a bit strong. Intensely dislike is closer to the mark....
However I've always been a fan of quirky campaign settings such as Stormbringer (which we used to play a massive amount of in two campaigning groups), Call of Cthullu, Paranoia and Space 1889.
Anyway despite dropping RPG's we continued to play the Sky Galleons portion of Chadwicks excellent Space 1889 background introducing the odd roleplaying element here and there. Eventually though that dropped off too.
Very recently we have rediscovered an interest in the Sky Galleons game and have been talking about starting up a campaign again. Trouble was, the actual RPG rules for the game were dreadful.
So I decided to hunt the net to see if there was anything other than d20 based systems available. Lo and behold, it looks like my favourite system is making a big comeback!
So I can envisage a Space 1889 campaign using BRP in 2008, which fittingly marks 20 years since it's original release.
Science Fiction Role Playing in a more civilised time, flying martians, sky galleons and wacky victorian inventors, you know it all makes sense. Not to mention an evil GM could easily add in Lovecraftian horrors since it should mesh without too much trouble <maniacal laughter>
Please have this out by Christmas!
