209 Bringing The SF

from Roleplay Rescue

What if you don’t want to play in a fantasy roleplaying game? What are the options for getting a science-fiction game up to the table? Is anything different? In this episode, we delve into the second major RPG genre - the science-fiction game - and take a quick peek at the options available to the gamer who wants to boldly go where no-one has gone before. For me, science-fiction roleplaying adventure is a wonderful alternative to the traditional fantasy game. Through the years, many science-fiction rule systems have been produced but the fundamental game structures for an SF game go right back to the hobby’s foundations.Useful Links:Stars Without Number, Revised (free edition): drivethrurpg.com/product/230009/Stars-Without-Number-Revised-Edition-Free-VersionThe Alexandrian Game Structures: thealexandrian.net/wordpress/15126/roleplaying-games/game-structuresMongoose Traveller Starter Set: mongoosepublishing.com/traveller-starter-setRoll20 for Absolute Beginners: youtube.com/watch?v=Jbayc1GToowUK Games Expo: ukgamesexpo.co.ukGothridge Manor: gothridgemanor.comContact Details:Roleplay Rescue Quicklink: rpgrescue.comEmail Me: [email protected] Page: mewe.com/page/5c077833bce33a3fe7dd7f04 (or search "Roleplay Rescue")Facebook Page: facebook.com/roleplayrescue/ (or search "Roleplay Rescue")Patreon: patreon.com/rpgrescue Hosted on Acast.
