Re: [GZG] [OFFICIAL] Another question: SF game styles...?

My first love is the custom, player-created setting. What I love about
SG/DS are that they tend to support a fair amount of flexibility if
you're disciplined about removing options that don't apply in your
setting.

Overly "realistic" rules tend to be boring and show their age quickly.
I'm a fan of hard science fiction, but some license for drama keeps it
fun.

I really don't have any interest in using the system for re-creating
movie or TV series battles, like B5, aliens, SW, etc. Personal quirk.
