But I have no idea why...a devotion to a particular high concept? A marked propensity for wandering around imaginary space? A GM who has an encyclopedic knowledge of science fiction literature?<br /><br />For me with my average to above average investment of time and interest, they've failed in the past. I'm interested in a game that won't fail me.JBhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08532311924539491087noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4143435314932633148.post-76265123257814469462011-01-04T06:32:38.691-08:002011-01-04T06:32:38.691-08:00Without getting into too much detail I'd have ...Without getting into too much detail I'd have to say my experience has been different with the Sci-Fi games you've mentioned.<br /><br />We've (myself and at least two other members of my group who GM) have had successful, long term campaigns of very different types using Mekton (II not Zeta - Started with plain old Mekton).<br /><br />Traveller, some long, some short, some misses and some where we hit it out of the park.<br /><br />I've run Star Wars D6 some much the Empire owes me frequent flyer miles to Tatooine.<br /><br />One I didn't see mentioned was my favorite, Star Trek. Any reason? I've run Star Trek more than I've each addition of D&D combined.Adam Dicksteinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04840144928096089178noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4143435314932633148.post-74008351016814589222011-01-04T05:19:37.776-08:002011-01-04T05:19:37.776-08:00minor nitpick: Dungeon crawls have existed at leas...minor nitpick: Dungeon crawls have existed at least since Moria. ;-) But you're right; they are weird.Bigharahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14232940345429292782noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4143435314932633148.post-22450470095269753392011-01-03T14:52:17.188-08:002011-01-03T14:52:17.188-08:00I'm certainly interested in seeing your take o...I'm certainly interested in seeing your take on SWN. I've got my own ideas on the game's relation to the goals you've laid out in the past few posts, but I'll listen a bit more before I chime in.Sine Nominehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18335794366582322514noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4143435314932633148.post-40270569798341486322011-01-03T13:25:29.351-08:002011-01-03T13:25:29.351-08:00These recent posts have been great fun, a kind of ...These recent posts have been great fun, a kind of grand tour of approaches and systems.
