It arrived and was worth it for the massive amount of Starblazer comic panels alone! Will I review it? Nah, too much there to even contemplate such a thing#MastoArt #Art #FediArt #comic #ComicArt #TTRPG #RPG #ArtistOnMastodon #SciFiArt #SciFi

@iamgerardthomas I know! What's not to like?It uses the FATE system, which does take a bit of getting used to, and which works best with players who are frustrated story tellers.But for running a game with a space opera background, it can't be beat. Worldbuilding, shipbuilding, character building, scenario building all with a Space opera twist. And tons of illustrations taken from the comic books.

@iamgerardthomas Well, in this case I think it is worth it. It is useful for more than just FATE games, the campaign ideas are great, and you can't beat the artwork.

@nyrath @iamgerardthomas I recently bought a complete run of Starblazer on DVD ROM from eBay. Pretty sure the listing is still up.

@nyrath @iamgerardthomas While I never got around to running a game, at one point I came up with a set of house rules to make FATE more like a "trad" RPG. Basically:* Aspects always provide a bonus when applicable (no spending Fate points to invoke them).* Fate points are vaguely diagetic luck/stamina/focus. Spending them provides direct bonuses or activates unusual powers.* Fate points refresh at the start of adventures, or partly during rest or other narratively appropriate situations.
