Does anyone else remember this game or have a copy? I'm probably the only one who liked it - character gen was a breeze and there were rarely debates over what die to use on what weapon (read 'rarely' as never).

But yeah, I remember seeing it, but never actually got around to playing it.
I've been playing a more narrative-based Star Trek RP using the Fate system."It's evolution; every time you invent something fool-proof, the world invents a better fool."

I find that evolution is the best proof of God.

I tried playing it. Once. Unfortunately, the other players ignored the game master's instructions to use weak characters so I could get the hang of the game (he had invited me). Instead they insisted on using their most powerful characters, ships ... and would annihilate my low level character. I got the distinct impression they didn't want any new players joining them.
I'm always still in trouble again

The only thing is that Play-by-Post games are a hassle at times, at least for me, versus running game freeform."It's evolution; every time you invent something fool-proof, the world invents a better fool."

I wouldn't mind running a Shadowrun game here, but the rule system is way, way too morally ambiguous for running a game here, but a FATE based game, or a AdEva game might be an option to run here. I've gotten a lot more experience with running games over the time I was absent from TWeb."It's evolution; every time you invent something fool-proof, the world invents a better fool."
