Yeah a friend of mine in England gets to do that as a part time fun job, I envy the bastard.

Well not to toot my own horn but the Exodus setting for my game Frontier that launched into existence after a two year long game.

[Kinslayer]

In no particular order:

SLA Industries--I'm on my second copy
Traveller--the older version with the small booklets, though I no longer own any
Nightlife--horror, but it was also sort of sci-fi at the time; books I fear I'll never get back from the bloke who borrowed them
Palladium Books: Rifts, After the Bomb, Robotech
Paranoia--own but never played
Mutazoids--own but never played
HOL
Icar
A whole bunch of sci-fi Gurps variants
Some sci-fi games of my own devising, most of which never had names
Gamma World and Cyberpunk220--played but not owned
And a handful of indie/net/free games whose names sadly escape me at the moment

Midian is sorta sci-fi on a technicality.

My friend bought the first printing of the original Kingslayer published Manhunter. The mechanics were very different from the Rifts mechanics. And I still have a copy of that that his dad made for me on his office photo copy machine. I might have bought my own but I never saw another copy of it other than the one my friend bought.

How could I forget Star Frontiers and Shadowrun? Star Frontiers was the first sci-fi rpg I ever played that I didn't write myself. I think I still have a couple of original books somewhere. Shadowrun is a game I played to excess while living in Germany. By the time I had retooled almost all of my books for 2nd edition, I found out that 3rd was coming out. In a fit of pique I gave a waist-high stack of books to a friend who could care less about edition wars.

I had Star Frontiers: Alpha Dawn many years ago, but have since lost it. I miss playing it.

Which is why I love this page:

It has the following on the page:
The Basic Rules
The Expaneded Rules and Module, Crash on Volturnus, including the maps for the space ship and Volturnus for the module.
Referee Screen with Mini-Module
Character Sheets (book) and the Character Sheet from the Basic Rules
UPF: Tactical Operations Manuel
Star Frontiers Campain Book (Expanded Rules
Zebuton's Guide to the Frontier, Volume One

All items are on both .html and .pdf, and a few can be downloaded as .zip

I actually went ahead and printed off the Basic Rules, the Expanded Rules and Module, 1 Character Sheet from the Character Sheet book (2 pages), and the Character Sheet for the Basic Rules.

I, too, played the original Traveler (that *@%# "death-during-chargen" rule was the first thing I axed!). Also D & D 2nd edition, Villains & Vigilantes and 1st edition Champions. No, that doesn't show my age at all...
