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?

As an aside, Scooby-Doo! Mystery, Inc. is good. Really good. Really really fucking good.

(The first season is hilarious and enjoyable, but it really torques up in season 2)
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.

I suspect that for quite a few years they'll probably want to focus on D&D (fantasy) alone.

Of course, if they're interested in a kitchen-sink Sci-Fantasy Gonzo setting, Mike Mearls could always get in touch with me about making a book out of my Last Sun campaign (which I've been running with DCC, but could likely be run with 5e quite nicely too).

Amusing thing is - Friday's delivery of 'NEW" stuff at the store included PATHFINDER products that had technology or a Sci Fi bent to it.....and a Monte Cook thing called "Strange" that Sci Fi roleplaying.

 MORe when I work tomorrow's shift - I seem to remember a New WOTC product with Sci Fi influence as well.

Quote from: Spinachcat;779042Of course it is! Four teenagers in an old van drive around the country hearing voices from their dog and setting up complex, SAW-like traps to catch "bad guys" who are usually bewildered elderly people forced to run around with rubber masks before being "caught".

Yeah, Scooby Doo is horror. Just watching Scrappy Do costs D4 SAN.

The Venture Brothers made the same observation.

Quote from: jeff37923;778869If you are wanting to play D&D in SciFi drag, then how is that different from just playing D&D?

It's not. The old Metamorphosis Alpha, Arduin Grimoire, Starships & Spacemen and Mechanoid Invasion material is in my experience very easy to mix and match with TSR-era D&D.

It's the parade of "nth E" products with the D&D brand on them that present inconvenient departures from the familiar framework as far as I'm concerned. I don't want to read hundreds of pages of yet another whole new set of rules that covers the same ground.
And we are here as on a darkling plain  ~ Swept with confused alarms of struggle and flight, ~ Where ignorant armies clash by night.
