Stars Without Number

So I've only been able to find a single Stars Without Number game on here and its full.  I'm currently looking for a GM interested in starting up such a game.  I have some familiarity with the rule system, both as a GM and Player.  Currently adapting the GM worldbuilding 'minigame' to a fantasy system.

I would suggest that the game be rated at least Mature due to the fact it includes use drugs and mature themes.  That being said the choice between Mature/Adult will ultimately be up to the GM.

Here is a free edition of the ruleset.  Doesn't include ALL the options but has all the base rules needed to play: http://rpg.drivethrustuff.com/...-Number-Free-Edition

Re: Stars Without Number

I'd be moderately interested in playing. I like Mongoose Traveller and own that very rule set linked in the OP, never played but willing to give it a try.

I will soon start a SwN game with some french but the prerequisite to join is to understand and speak French.

Re: Stars Without Number

By worldbuilding minigame, do you mean the Factions rules?
I'm interested in seeing those in action.

Re: Stars Without Number

Yeah.  They're really interesting and while you (the GM) are ultimately in control of what you want them to do (assigning goals and choosing the best assest to get them there) it all comes down to random dice rolls.  So that big mega corporation could suddenly loose a key asset while attempting to wipe some small faction.

Not to mention the PC's throwing a monkey into the wrench, since its in the ruleset that if they destroy an asset (like a base or a starship or something) that faction instantly looses that asset even if it still had HP left during the faction turn.
