Will you be using the default skill list or will you tweak it?
It's lifted straight up from the source material. As far as seventies series go, S: 1999 took itself quite seriously, in a good way. It's still sort of zany and the science isn't there in the plot, but the models and the casting more than make up for it.
Thank you and welcome!
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.
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?).
Rifts is a classic, but also a very strange animal. And for some reason I thought Robotech was a minis game (must be confusing with something else).
Star Wars is already listed. I know those are technically different games, but I'm trying to keep the list as concise as possible (grouping the multiple versions of the same setting under one entry). I don't know much about the history of star wars RPG though. How would you summarize it? (WEG d6, d20, Fate)?
Done and thank you!
Oh, it's a game! At first I thought it was a pen, then a map drawing app, then a geomorph set.
