Any update on your gamequest?

He and I agreed it would be a good idea to wait until everyone got a chance to post within the week before deciding. That said, I shared some of what everyone had thus far said in response to questions he asked. I was pleased, for instance, to tell him that you all seemed to be producing much better and more diverse ideas than I myself had previously done. A lot of our talking about it was on that kinda thing, and vague descriptions of rpg type without telling him exact names and mechanics, for the most part.

He also happened to ask offhandedly about whether any first person shooters existed or if that was not really a thing, as a thought experiment, whilst playing a related VR game (Onward, I think?). I told him about yours among others, in part because he used to be Army and weirdly enough actually had done some private contracting work following that at one point. He thought it was kinda cool/funny that there was a sci-fi game with both military tactics and contracting work as the focus.

Download tge free files and have a taste. Hope you like it.

If he was real military tell him there's a scenario pack called 'Charlie foxrrot'....

I'd like to recommend my own product, the Quick & Dirty RPG System, currently priced as Pay What You Want on DriveThruRPG.

To me, it's the antidote to D&D.

Oddly enough traveller was frequently regarded as an antithesis to DnD.

I re-read the first post, and it sounds like you're most important criteria be clear rules, and tactical combat that is NOT just two characters rolling dice until somebody wins. 

Honestly, it feels like your more interested in some sort of tabletop war game that has thick Role Playing features.  A game that is both. 

Well, let me suggest Adventure Conqueror Kings System (ACKS).   I've heard it's good, but never played it myself. 

Again, I'll bring up Dungeons and Delvers Dice Pool Edition.  It's very clear, and simple rules.  All stats and skills are dice from 1D4, 1D6, 1D8, 1D10, and ultimately 1D12.  The D20 is not used.  Roll your stat and skill, plus any of the many bonus dice from player ability talents to beat a GM set target number, or enemy defense number.  Pick the best two dice results, add those two up, and higher number wins.  It's very clear rules, and very miniature grid square friendly.  Some movement abilities are definitely meant for the grid squares.

The game is meant to be easy for grade school kids learning math, so ignore the kiddie artwork.  It plays just fine as an adult game.
