Rogue Space RPG Mini-Review
A short while ago I picked up the updated edition of the Rogue Space RPG.
I've gotta say this is a fun rules-lite RPG and although it is a rules-lite system, the author has packed in a lot of stuff! Some alien races (including Space SIMIANS!!!), some Cybernetics, even a bit of rules for Magic, starship creation rules, and some pretty cool art by the author's wife (quite a talented lady IMHO)! The Skull faced character gracing the cover, is apparently the mascot for the game and is featured in several illustrations throughout the 114 page book. There is not an official setting in the rules, but it is easy to make your own, my buddy Mik has even done a Mass Effect conversion for the game. If your looking for a fast and easy to learn RPG for your Sci Fi fix I recommend Rogue Space, now mind you it is very rules-lite so if your into Pathfinder type crunchy stuff, this may not be your cup of Joe, but for my old bones and limited time this is a pretty sweet little set of rules. It seems perfect for pick up games, Con games but I can see it being useable for longer play as well. I would like to have seen some more options for creating alien races, but the rules are lite enough that you can do your own with minimal fuss. Check out Mik's blog for examples of how the Mass Effect Aliens look via the Rogue Space rules.

I just purchased both PDF and print copies. PDF so I can start reading it and print because it's worth having and I hope to meet the guy and have him autograph it :)
ReplyDeleteI already have the PDF printed and bound.

Hey Eli! I haven't forgotten your email by the way!
DeleteI hear ya about Rogue Space its a Great Game!
Thanks BB for the review and the feedback! I am looking at potentially having BW counters (think melee/wizard type) made up for Rogue Space: Humans, SIMIANS, all the listed alien races. from the rules..plus some skeleton astronauts! We will see how sales go of the game and maybe a supplement with some more bits, including counters can go into it. Fingers crossed!
ReplyDeleteHey! Thanks for dropping in! Loving Rogue Space! I hope it does well and we see more support for it! The Counters sound like a great idea! And Skeleton Astronauts Rock!
DeleteCan't wait for my print copy to show up.
