Hello all.
I've had some tabletop rpg experience with my friends, mainly just creating our own combat systems and applying them to our own universes, and it's been lots of fun. We have taken influences from what we know of other REAL rpgs, and have had medium success, mainly in Fantasy settings. Currently I am searching for a good Sci-fi system for us as we really enjoy that genre, but find it hard to model a system around. We've tried to use our own basic system with specific combat stats as well as Social and Mental and (of course) the twenty-sided die. But I'm really not quite satisfied. Does anyone out there have a suggestion for a SF rpg we could try? Even better, are there any available on 1km1kt?
Specifically, we are into military-style gameplay, with lots of firearms and explosives, and not much hand-to-hand or magic, which seem to be the basics of fantasy. The genre could be compared to Starship Troopers.
Mainly what I'm looking for here is the game and dice mechanics, not the universe or setting. We can come up with those ourselves. I want a system that isn't too simple, with like four stats and only the d6, as well as not too complex, or I could just play D&D!
Cheers
