HierophantX Posted December 24, 2020 Share Posted December 24, 2020 I've seen some chatter on the Discord. I'm interested in pulsing the group-mind about what people are using as their base-settings for M-space. I have heard Traveller, AD2300, and some others. Including elements of Stars Without Number if not that setting as well. Anyway, indulge me! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sam E. Posted December 25, 2020 Share Posted December 25, 2020 I just finished reading Elevation, and really dig it. I like the Star-Trek-past-its-prime vibe. I'm not sure if I'm going to be able to stir up any serious interest from my local players (they aren't generally into sci fi), but I'm thinking about trying it solitaire with Mythic GME. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Runeblogger Posted December 26, 2020 Share Posted December 26, 2020 For M-Space I guess I would use a mix of The Expanse TV show and the setting in Elevation. 3 Quote Read my Runeblog about RuneQuest and Glorantha at: http://elruneblog.blogspot.com.es/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sam E. Posted December 26, 2020 Share Posted December 26, 2020 M-Space is the perfect system for The Expanse, of which I am a big fan (especially the books). The AGE system looks nice enough, but I'm not really in the market for another new system. I might buy it and convert it, though ... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
clarence Posted December 27, 2020 Share Posted December 27, 2020 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. 1 Quote FrostByte Books M–SPACE d100 Roleplaying in the Far Future Odd Soot Science Fiction Mystery in the 1920s Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sam E. Posted December 27, 2020 Share Posted December 27, 2020 (edited) That reminds me (Star-Wars adjacent) that M-Space would be great for a Mass Effect campaign. Between psionics, cybernetics, and Q tech, you'd have stuff for all the tech and biotic powers.

clarence Posted December 27, 2020 Share Posted December 27, 2020 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! 1 Quote FrostByte Books M–SPACE d100 Roleplaying in the Far Future Odd Soot Science Fiction Mystery in the 1920s Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sam E. Posted December 27, 2020 Share Posted December 27, 2020 Rolemaster is the game I always loved without ever really getting to play or run it much. I don't think I even knew about Spacemaster back then, though. To be fair, I was much more active with MERP anyway. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
clarence Posted December 28, 2020 Share Posted December 28, 2020 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. 1 Quote FrostByte Books M–SPACE d100 Roleplaying in the Far Future Odd Soot Science Fiction Mystery in the 1920s Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HierophantX Posted December 29, 2020 Author Share Posted December 29, 2020 Not so strange based on some conversations I have had with old contributors. There is such a thing as unsustainable growth. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
