Quote from: Aos;376920I once spent a lot of playing space opera.
It sucks.

I thought space opera was pretty broad?

It is, but the parts don't fit together well and if i remember correctly the psionics system makes no sense. Of course it's been like 25-30 years since I last played it.
I ran my first campaign in it, actually, and of all the games I ran and played back in the day it, and AD&D 1e are the only two I harbor no nostalgia for.  That said, I'd probably play AD&D again, but not SO.

Woops.

I'm retarded, and skimming threads too lightly.

I thought you meant the genre, not the game (esp. since I didn't know SO was a game).  

I ran Space Opera the RPG for three years.   No wonder I can play Rifts without system worries!

I ran it for a long time too- and for a long time after, it never crossed my mind that game rules should/could make any sort of sense. Really, I'm not even sure where I stand on that subject today.

I wouldn't run it today.   But back in high school, we were running RPGs at least twice a week, often three times, so there was plenty of time to devote to a half-dozen different campaigns every month.
