Thread: Sci-Fi

I know it isn't BRP, but the OGL looks easier to use and Mongoose already has RQ and Traveller SRDs, making it easier to base Sci-Fi D100 rules on RQM.

The latest draft of a RuneQuest Sci-Fi SRD is at http://www.soltakss.com/rq_scifi.doc. Feedback and suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

Anyway, let me know what I am missing, what I have done wrong and what I need to change.

A really excellent job you did there, almost a complete science fiction RPG
in its own right. :thumb:

I am currently working on a new setting, a barren desert world this time, and
your material has become a very useful reference for my BRP-Traveller-Cross-
over System for the new campaign - thank you very much !

This is a very impressive document. More complete than any project I've attempted. How long did it take you?

Thanks. It has taken about 2 months, off and on. It helped that I based it on the Traveller/RQ/S20 Future/D20 Traveller Lite/D20 Paranoia Lite SRDs that are all OGL and OGC.

There is a lot more I could do with it, but the basics are there.

Wow! These really look cool. Two Months:eek: I wish I could work half that fast. I caught the Geeks/ Fans thing in the intro and spewed coffee on my computer screen.

Most of it was copy, paste and alter, so it wasn't that difficult. The hardest part is to try and fit it all together. My wife's away at the moment so I haven't got much else to do with my time.

There, not only an unfinished set of Sci-Fi rules but also a handy screen-washing utility. Two for the price of one.

Hi Simon,

That's a really good document - have you thought about approaching Chaosium about doing a BRP SF supplement?

Cheers,

Sarah

Thanks.

I haven't thought about approaching Chaosium for several reasons:

• Those rules are based on several SRDs/OGLs and hence are incompatible with the BRP licence
• I haven't got enough time to dedicate to polishing a document enough for publication
• The core ruls are not enough , for publication you really need a good setting and I don't have any ideas about a setting
• In the past I have shied away from writing anything for official companies

I might tidy it up a bit as an OGL RQ supplement, but I am in two minds about that at the moment.

However you intend to use it, it is just great !

(... and I am looking forward to seeing the new material on vehicles ...)
