wbcreighton Posted June 3, 2010 Share Posted June 3, 2010 I'm not sure if this is what you call a Classic SciFi setting or not, but it would be worthing taking a look at. Originally planned as a Campaign world for WEG d6 system, cancelled and planned to move to FATE?, but then published by WEG as a pdf. WEG is being sold off and the rights to this went back to the book's author, Bill Coffin. Bill has released it as a FREE pdf on drivethrurpg.com. Head over there and download it for free ( 364 pages ). I wonder if anyone will approach Bill about doing a conversion to a different game system. I haven't looked at it and I'm not offering an endorsement of it. But maybe .... Bill Coffin's Septimus As one galactic empire dies, billion of people from thousands of worlds flood to their last great hope -- Septimus. Bill Coffin's Septimus sets the players inside a Dyson Sphere made from an unknown and unknowable alien technology. Faction pitted against faction to control the sphere and the amazing technology therein -- a technology so great that no weakness cannot be eliminated and even death is not final. But, even as the obsessed techno-cult, the Sindivar Extant seeks to build a Utopia around Septimus' many nanofoundries, a dark secret spreads. The same technology that is a boon to so many billions of people contains a flaw, a flaw that may have spelled doom to the great originators, a flaw that threatens to crush Septimus and its inhabitants, even before the greatest of secrets yet remains undiscovered Whether you fight alongside the Extant and the Cadre, or whether you join one of the many factions seeking to wrestle power and wealth from the Cult, you are sure to find a game that is right for you. This 360+ page RPG comes packed with everything you need for many hundreds of hours of gaming. This books needs no additional material to play. It comes with the OpenD6 core rules, huge amounts of setting information, complete with area maps, plus the most exhaustive character generation and character option information ever in a single D6 System book. Inspired by, and meant to capture all the fun of the Classic Star Wars roleplaying game by West End Games, this free-wheeling Space Opera also takes you science fiction fun to the next level. More mature and multi-tiered that Star Wars D6, Septimus includes elements of Cyberpunk, Transhumanism, Light Mecha, all the way to fantasy elements. Septimus' vast territory only about 1 or 2% of which has been mapped, means an almost unlimited field to play in. This is the biggest campaign setting published by West End Games in years, with more support content to follow, which means you'll continue to have the support you want and need, for a long time to come.

It's funny, I'm thinking of creating my own space setting, and I was just looking at D6 Space for some ideas, last night. And I've been thinking about buying Septimus for some time to see if there was any ideas worth taking. Sometime this coming week, I'm going to have to sit down and type up all the ideas I have for a setting. Hopefully, it won't be a cliched as I fear it will be.

Solardog Posted June 8, 2010 Share Posted June 8, 2010 Valerian and Laureline is an "classic" sci-fi setting. Perfect for BRP. Quote It is not the strongest of the species that survives, nor the most intelligent that survives. It is the one that is the most adaptable to change.

rpgstarwizard Posted June 10, 2010 Share Posted June 10, 2010 LOL, when I was going through My Hero Phase we created the city , Nexus, one of the few "places" that went through all levels of the Multiverse, this was before Palladium , I know because I had the blue book of the Mechanoid and was bringing them in. In fcat we did translate it to "Superworld", not hard. Maybe I should look for those notes? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mysterioso Posted June 10, 2010 Share Posted June 10, 2010 (edited) Alien Legion seems like it would work nicely. Getting the rights might be tough as Dark Horse is looking to restart it. OTOH, they did let GURPS do Hellboy, which has to be their most important title. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Alien_Legion http://www.foot-sloggers.com/home.html Edited June 10, 2010 by Mysterioso Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
