Sci-Fi RPGs

[Onix]

I've played in something like chronological order. * means it's a game I wrote.

Star Frontiers (actually this was my first RPG)
I don't know if this counts, it's kinda sorta Sci-Fi Marvel Super Heros (second RPG)
*Galactic Legions (First game I wrote, space opera type game, currently re-working)
Robotech
TMNT
Cyberpunk
Shadowrun
Star Wars
Star Trek
Space 1889
Champions
Rifts
*The Artifact (Second game I wrote and my current project)
*Aftermath (third game I wrote, post apocalyptic world)
Gamma World
Alternity
*Space Dust (open source miniature space battles, current project)

Hmmm. I'm missing some but that's a pretty good start. Sorry I haven't played the games you guy's have wrote. It's usually all I can do to get enough time to write or playtest ideas. I've always wanted to play Traveller but never had the time or circumstances.

Hey Onix! That's quite a spread. No worries about not playing our games, we really just love to create more than anything.

Have you created any Sci Fi?

[Onix]

That's really all that I do. I've made three playable games. The fourth Space Dust is still under construction but we've been hacking away very slowly

Galactic Legions (First game I wrote, space opera type game, currently re-working)
The Artifact-Published (Second game I wrote and my current project)
Aftermath (third game I wrote, post apocalyptic world)
Space Dust (open source miniature space battles, current project)

I mostly work on The Artifact, we're working on the fifth sourcebook now. There's another that I really want to work on for one of the cultures because they were kinda a black box, you see their military in the main book but nothing else. There's a lot to flesh out but I promised I would finish the sourcebook my buddy requested for civilian characters first. That's ok though because there's a lot of meta story that I've been able to sneak into it.

Oh and we're working on adding some pre-made adventures to the random encounter table book. I'm not big on pre made adventures but I've been having fun with it. We've got four, I think I need two or three more. Our southern chapter is working on one that I think is quite good.

Ah The Artifact! - Emmett, is it?

Thanks for your email and sorry I didn't reply, I was going to surprised you with a review. It's Epic! Nice to have a fat crunch system that is really tightly put together. It has that solidity that only years of play can truly give.

[Onix]

Yeah that's me! Cool beans! There are so many games that are designed around really fast playing, I've been really immersed in The Artifact's story so it's not a one sitting game and I don't know what people would think of it. Epic? I like that, Thanks!

You'll lose a weekend. I lost two evenings reading it.

[misterecho]

now that's an endorsement!

[Onix]

I'll say! Thanks Rob!

BTW I downloaded Icar an I'm reading through it. I like the disks, it's a neat visual anchor for the system. Style +10

And here it is! My little review of a big game.
