This is gorgeous, thank you.

No, it’s designed as a historic catalogue of notable past starships. It’s a cool read. Just found out you can buy a restored/scanned copy off of DrivethruRPG.

There’s also a heavily modified d20 RPG launched in 2006. I don’t know much about it.

Nice! Another good source is the Terran Trade Authority books of yore. I’ll see if I can find something.

I have no experience with this specific setting, but I’ve played SW quite a bit. I think it would be pretty straightforward to adapt it to FATE, and with a little extra effort but a better result to Cortex Prime.

Several sci-fi entries in both PWYW and bundles.

If you’re open to branching into other systems, the folks at !scifi@ttrpg.network can help you pick an easy to learn and vibe appropriate system for your adventure.

My pleasure!

Eclipse Phase and the Year Zeros were already in, added the rest. Thank you!

Added, thank you!

That’s correct, it’s a related/linked but separate comment chain. The goal of cross posting often is just linking to the original post.

Some clients don’t clearly mark crossposts as such. Some of the growing pains of the treadiverse.

Like the other commenter pointed out, piefed is addressing a lot of those issues, so the future looks good.

I messed up a bit. Kosmic is their brand of Cepheus, basically the rules. The setting is called Solis people of the Sun.

This is the blurb:

This Book contains accurate star maps to 15 parsecs around the Earth. With 30 star maps detailing 521 star systems, plus 31 planetary maps, and expanded star systems.

This is us, the Sideralis, and Solis People of the Sol system, Humans. The date 2271, and it is a new day with new people, the future is unwritten. […]

Traveller is half the galaxy, millennia into the future. Solis is a couple hundred years from now, and a much smaller chunk of the galaxy. It’s a different vibe.

Hostile is the retro-future, like the Alien films, Outland, etc.

There isn’t a default Cepheus setting. It came to be after Mongoose changed licensing terms for Traveller. So Cepheus is a fork of the OGL content for MgT1. A lot of third party publishers had material for that, and pivoted to Cepheus to continue their line.

Kosmic is A Cepheus setting (not The), but you can also have Hostile and Orbital from Zozer, etc. Just search for Cepheus on DTRPG and you’ll find plenty. They each have their own twist, so read their elevator pitch.

Thank you, added it!

Not really, no, just full fledged settings with rules. Trying to keep a concise list. You’re welcome to start a post for those, though. It would definitely fit the community.

This was a nice read. Thank you.

Anytime! And let us know how it went. !scifi@ttrpg.network would be interested in this too.

I was looking into the skill list of Bulldogs, one of my favorite sci-fi Fate creations. Things I like about the changes they made:

• no Lore, not setting appropriate.
• no Notice: players will use any skill related to what’s being noticed. A good burglar is better at detecting plain clothes cops and break in weaknesses, for instance.
• Academics is broken down into setting appropriate skills (they used science, and systems).
• replaced Resources by Haggle, with a simpler mechanic. You may want to ditch this entirely since buying and selling doesn’t mesh that well with T2.
• no Investigate: it’s an action RPG, Science can be used for general deductive reasoning, otherwise another specific applicable skill (i.e. Systems to investigate a hack, Larceny to investigate how the safe was broken into, etc.)

Notes:

• if you fragment skills, you make it harder for someone to progress along that field (needs more advancements to raise it all), which may be what you want.
• The opposite for coalescing skills.
• A skill list smaller than 18 will make your characters stronger, bigger than 20, weaker (they start with 10 trained skills out of 19 existing on the default list).
• keep in mind characters have only 6 starting skills at +2 or above.
