Frank Frey Posted July 9, 2008 Share Posted July 9, 2008 When this first came out last spring, I bought a copy. In fact, I've bought everything that they've published on PDF. I highly recommend it. A lot of thought and planning went into this one and it shows. The url is Blank It's worth a look. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Simlasa Posted July 9, 2008 Share Posted July 9, 2008 It looks pretty cool... and is 'systemless'... The website is a bit clunky but the artwork is really nice... How big is the background? Other planets? Would it do a Buck Rogers/Flash Gordon type game? or is it mostly WWII with fancy equipment and space battles?

Zane Posted July 9, 2008 Share Posted July 9, 2008 <read> <read> <read> <DROOL!!!> OK, I'm going to have to track down a copy of this. I wonder if my FLGS can get a copy in for me. This sounds like an incredible setting! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Harshax Posted July 9, 2008 Share Posted July 9, 2008 I awaited the release of this product when it was touted as a d20 game. Now that it is systemless, I definitely want to pick it up. Thanks for the link!

Dredj Posted July 10, 2008 Share Posted July 10, 2008 I got me a copy of it. I think it's pretty nice:thumb: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Enpeze Posted July 10, 2008 Share Posted July 10, 2008 Interplanetary interceptors looking like a P38? I dont know. It looks a little bit over the top to me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zane Posted July 16, 2008 Share Posted July 16, 2008 So, I went ahead and bought the main PDF, and the three supplement PDF's. So far looks very cool, but now I'm wondering, has anyone started to setup this as a BRP setting? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Frank Frey Posted July 16, 2008 Author Share Posted July 16, 2008 Not yet, but I imagine that it would be relatively easy to do. One of the first things that comes to my mind is that you could have both Magic/Sorcery and Psychic powers in this campaign. Also, the Sanity Rules would add a great deal here.

One thing that I noticed in the little time I've been able to spend looking through their forum is that the author has apparently used CoC for some of the games he's run. Of course since he's apparently having health issues and hasn't been heard from in over a month, it's kind of hard to ask him about it. From what I've read so far, it looks like the Sanity Rules from CoC would almost be a must. I'm currently in the process of running the setting past my players, if they all like the sounds of it, and I continue to like the sounds of it, I'll start looking at what it will take to use it with BRP.
