Thanks, it makes sense. I really like the cockpit console feel of it all. A+!

I’m not familiar with the position map of CD, what do the numbers mean? Result on a 1D roll?

I like this very much.

You’re pinning for a system that prevents fascism, but it doesn’t exist. You prevent it through other sociological structures. The method for selecting power can’t do what you want it to do.

But by all means, keep trying to bait people online, I’m sure that helps you somehow.

Yeah, definitely don’t get caught doing that.

You wrote psychopath wrong.

The thing about a cult is that it doesn’t need you in particular. It needs people. Ideally, idiots. So it doesn’t matter that a lot of people are leaving/will leave Twitter. The idiots will remain, and the platform will serve its purpose.

I think a good sci-fi campaign can always benefit from a Heist. Like a train heist or something.

The flip side, which is also fun, the convoy escort role. The crew is part of a convoy and must defend it from marauders.

And the Seven Samurai is a classic stationary version of the above that has been adapted time and again for sci-fi.

Added, thank you.

Traveller, or better yet 2300AD or Hostile for better fit on the setting with the same classic 2d6 rules. Cy_Borg or Stars Without Number for OSR.

Diaspora, Mindjammer, or Nova Praxis if you’re willing to try a more modern system (Fate), but the setting should be pretty close on them, depending on where in the story you want it to be. Diaspora should be a good fit if you want to explore different systems throughout a network of spheres.

All it needs is a name and you’ve got a ready adventure.

Don’t beat yourself over it. 👍

Right, that uses the Fantasy Flight Games' Narrative Dice System (same as WH Fantasy).

Wow. I hadn't heard of a single item in your list except for SLA Industries. Not that surprising considering most are long out of print.

By Jupiter Chronicles do you mean Jovian Chronicles?

Sounds like you’d like Hostile by Zozer Games. They have a solo version too where you control a crew.

Why is it worn out near the top?

Truncated d4 s deal less damage… as caltrops. Also look at that table 🤩

That's right. Arguably the most famous?

Come to think of it, I don't think there ever was a Fate official Star Wars setting. I didn't find it, anyway.

BattleTech! That's the one. Didn't know they made an RPG out of it.

Firefly is an out of print Cortex Plus game by Margaret Weis Productions. It's in the list as well as Serenity (the Cortex Classic game by MWP, isn't IP licensing fun?).
