On Sci Fi (and old rules!)

Posted by: jjscannell <jjscannell@...>

 I figured I would fork another topic for the fun of it.
 
I haven't done *too* much sci fi related RPG playing, but I did want to mention something that seems relevant to the current discussion. Way back in the day, 1974 I believe, the folks that made D&D already had their first sci fi RPG. I'll pause now to say, for those who don't want to mix orcs and aliens, you may just be better off taking those ideas to a different, yet related system. I would triage it as a second priority behind DR 2.0, but if there are good ideas, shelf them instead of trashing them.
 
Now as far as "old school" fantasy goes, it used to be that if you were reading a "fantasy" or "science fiction" novel, there was little to no dividing line in genre. You could have dragons, laser beams, wizards, and spaceships all in one story. There are a handful of games that mix those elements, but they tend to be sidelined to the mainstream games.
 
All of that to say, is there a way to cull out the sci fi elements from the DR revision so folks like me can see what they were, and maybe set a longer term goal of a second game?
 
Also, if the wheels turn too slowly, I would just throw it out there that I would be up for helping develop such a game, should there be a few others out there willing to put in some work.

Thanks Joe.  I would like to ask a few more questions related to this.

 

Do you have a certain monetary goal that you need to achieve in order to print the new material?  Just wondering if anyone has really put a number to it.  Have any real plans been set forth?  A roadmap of sorts?  Something we can all strive towards?

 

All of the above may have already been answered in another email chain or on the website, but if you wouldn’t mind I would like to hear what the current plan is if that is acceptable to share.

 

 

Thanks,
