This is a site for discussing roleplaying games. Have fun doing so, but there is one major rule: do not discuss political issues that aren't directly and uniquely related to the subject of the thread and about gaming. While this site is dedicated to free speech, the following will not be tolerated: devolving a thread into unrelated political discussion, sockpuppeting (using multiple and/or bogus accounts), disrupting topics without contributing to them, and posting images that could get someone fired in the workplace (an external link is OK, but clearly mark it as Not Safe For Work, or NSFW). If you receive a warning, please take it seriously and either move on to another topic or steer the discussion back to its original RPG-related theme.

Any news on a 5e scifi game?

I'm assuming there will be some kind of d20 future for 5e. Has anyone heard anything yet?

I hope they make it a standalone book this time (unlike 3e).

Not sure if you are joking. The closest we got to that during 4E was Gamma World I don't think WoTC is interested in non-D&D right now.

Yeah, I'd be all over such a game, but there's been no hint whatsoever towards that as afar as I know, so its a pretty big assumption. Unfortunately :(

officially from wotc?. Probably not.  Depends on the ogl they will have next year
D&D is not an "everyone gets a ribbon" game.  If you\'re stupid, your PC will die.  If you\'re an asshole, your PC will die (probably from the other PCs).  If you\'re unlucky, your PC may die.  Point?  PC\'s die.  Get over it and roll up a new one.

We find out 3pp stuff sometime in 2015. Never heard mention of WotC doing anything outside bog standard Dnd though. Who knows they may do a Spelljammer setting or Gamma World.

If they don't have an official one, once we know the OGL details I say we make one :D

... You really think there's going to be anything like OGL??
This forum is great in that the moderators aren\'t jack-booted fascists.

Unfortunately, this forum is filled with total a-holes, including a bunch of rape culture enabling dillholes.

So embracing the \'no X is better than bad X,\' I\'m out of here. If you need to find me I\'m sure you can.

My best guess is something far more OGL then GSL with creveats. Like you have to be vetted but fan stuff will be pure OGL with WotC either taking the best stuff or vetting you somehow.

I think you guys are wildly optimistic... though I hope you are right. ;)

If you want D&D in space, there is always Stars Without Number. :D

Just started a thread about it, but there's also Adventures on Dungeon Planet, which is awesome pulp scifi goodness in SPAAAACE.

Not as awesome as Traveller, though. You really don't know what you are missing.

Diaspora is a fun Trav-inspired Fate game.
