ThornPlutonius Posted November 22, 2020 Share Posted November 22, 2020 Another update: The new Chronicles of Future Earth will not be based upon any flavor or evolution of BRP. It will be Fate-based. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Belisar Posted November 26, 2020 Share Posted November 26, 2020 A BRP newbie question about M-Space, which is mentioned alot when BRP SciFi settings are asked for. I tend to go for BRP/CoC as my to go "generic" system for homebrew settings. There's lovely Pulp Cthulhu with the Pulp-O-Meter to make playerchars more resilient. There is Cthulhu invictus for ancient play, Down Darker Trails for Western settings. The only thing I miss is an elaborate source book for SciFi settings. So here's the question, how much, if at all, is M-Space compatible with CoC? Is it possible to salvage it for BRP/CoC? Or is there too laborous conversion to be done? This includes psionics. Is psionics versatile enough to be used, for instance, for Star Wars "the Force" and Mass Effect's "bionics"? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hix Posted November 26, 2020 Share Posted November 26, 2020 @Belisarreally easy, Mythras uses the same basic concepts, it's main divergences being initiative, skill list, derived stats. M-Space is a really cool toolbox to build any kind of scifi world you want, and as such is modular and highly modifiable. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
clarence Posted November 26, 2020 Share Posted November 26, 2020 Hi Belisar, I’m happy you’ve heard good things about M-SPACE. You can either use BRP as your base and bring in the sections you need from M-SPACE, or start with M-SPACE and switch any subsystems for corresponding systems in BRP. The rules are similar enough to allow for mix and match. I designed M-SPACE with modularity in mind, so nothing should break down if you combine it with other mechanics. What type of sci-fi are you planning for? 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...

What type of sci-fi are you planning for? I was thinking of Mass Effect, mainly. In the meantime I've skimmed a bit through Mythras and I could absolutely imagine to use it as the generic D100 system for homebrew settings as it seems to be kept more updated than BRP, which last revision was in 2008, if I'm correct. Update: @clarence, btw looking forward to M-Space and the Companion, I just purchased a moment ago. Looking forward to the books. 😊 Edited November 26, 2020 by Belisar 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
clarence Posted November 27, 2020 Share Posted November 27, 2020 I don’t know much about Mass Effect, but from the little I’ve seen it should be a good fit for M-SPACE. And don’t hesitate to ask if you have any questions about the rules. I hope the books arrive quickly! 2 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 January 2, 2021 Share Posted January 2, 2021 FWIW, and being a big fan of both M-Space and Mass Effect, I think they're a nice match. M-Space has great rules for alien creation, and various "powers" such as psionics, cybernetics, and Q-Tech can be reskinned as Tech Powers and Biotic Powers very easily. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

When there is a lot of work behind this, well done. It could become a few supplements under the BRP licence, but it would need quite a few removal and serial numbers filed off. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No real setting, somewhat plausible technology, and of course the potential to plug in any BRP fantasy race as an alternative to the furry aliens. Actually, I have followed the progress of Genetics over the years and the possibility that we might genetically modify animals to a level of equal intelligence to me has become more of a possibility than our encountering Aliens. At least in the near future. I first ran across the concept from a book by A.E. Van Gogt called 'The Battle of Forever', then Niall Shapiro's "Other Suns", and finally David Brin's Uplift series. Along with other sources and information my perception of the concept is that it could be very real. Not to disparage your opinion of it, but for the possability of opening the concept up to other players to have adventures in is why I bring this up. Eventually I wrote a story about genetics involving various animals called 'Neo-Species'. (Neo is a Greek word meaning new.) A short story called 'Genetic Defects'. If anyone is interested in the story they can let me know and I will see if I can post it somewhere appropriate in the Forums. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Starfall webcomic tells a great story about a single (trickster) alien on a human colony with billions of semi- to fully sapient robots and one uplifted wolf using a similar AI construction (though biological rather than cybernetic). Even Elfquest uses the themes of uplifted monkeys and butterflies. Another excellent short book series is Rats, Bats and Vats where a colony beleaguered by giant bug aliens (reminiscent of Starship Troopers) are fought with conscripted vat-grown humans and military animals - a modified elephant shrew line and an oversized bat line - carrying a cybernetic implant uplifting them to sapiency. I shudder considering what an uplift would do to our (slightly psychopathic) office dog and our office feline. On 1/22/2021 at 4:13 AM, Ethereal said: At least in the near future.

Not to disparage your opinion of it, but for the possability of opening the concept up to other players to have adventures in is why I bring this up. My low opinion of these aliens is based on the fact that they aren't supposed to be of terrestrial origin. When it comes to independently evolved species, assumptions like having a spine, or an endo-skeleton, or a need to walk upright to free manipulatory limbs can be questioned. Niven's Pierson's Puppeteers are a species with an endo-skeleton, but that's pretty much where biological similarities end. Niven/Pournelle's Moties walk upright and have an endo-skeleton but not a spine. Terrestrial biology with latex pasted on doesn't quite cut it outside a comedy.
