Hello,
I have played a few RPGs, and am thinking of running a sci-fi game. It would not be a copy of any of PFH's work, but I am tempted to borrow from his well established universe(s).Commonwealth Saga strikes me as the best setting the use, with some ideas from other books (3001 Space oddysey, Night's Dawn.) as tweaks. The theme could be radically different of course: from Warhmmaer 40k -esque to Starship troopers (Movie/TV series), or very much commonwealth. As much as I love PFH's work, I am a gear head and a nerd. From what I have read of his universe's technology, I have imagined new uses and combinations for some of those technologies not mentioend in the books - so I would change/add as needed.
At the moment Im thinking of using Starwards D20 creation and rule systems with some tweaks here and there for setting, but Im not sure I like it.
Suggestions?
Shadow run?
D20 modern?
Manhunter?
The player party would be Mercs. Its set in the (my modified) Commonwealth universe, but many of the adventures would be borrowed/inspired from Night's Dawn, Fallen Dragon, 3001, EON, etc..Perhaps Fallen Dragon as the setting would be better?
Please help
I didn't find the right solution from the internet.
