Re: [GZG] First Sci-Fi Game (Simon White)

Perhaps a little after the moment, but my first Sci-Fi rpg was Starwars.
Lots of fun was had... I was the worst dark Jedi ever.

The Transhuman Space books are amazing, I would recommend them to anyone
interested in roleplaying in a 'hard scifi' setting. They are written
for GURPs, but for the third edition - when the source books were 15%
rules and 80% background, ideas, information and just pleasant to read
(GURPs Russia is a great example). Sadly they've gone away from that
style for the fourth edition... the books are more rules heavy than
before, tool kits to make your own setting rather than actual settings.

Someone mentioned All Flesh Must Be Eaten with All Tomorrows Zombies -
also a great game, I do love the Unisystem but not Eden Studios
(shockingly bad company, who knows what they're doing? Latest news
update 2007). Nice and easy to play... plus zombies in space, always a
winner (or you can substitute the zombies for some other unimaginable
horror).

RPG interlude over. Sadly that's the most gaming I do at the moment, my
gaming group broke up and all went their separate ways - so no
Fullthrust in quite a while.
