Ive been interested in science since a young age, and in gaming since I first played D D the box with a red dragon on it in junior high.

I lived in Taiwan for a long time, and gaming in Taiwan also gets its own page if you are in Taiwan and looking for local gaming resources, please go there. A lot of the art I produce is SF related, but not all, so see my general drawings and writings page for that kind of thing. Finally, my resources about fandom in Minneapolis are on my Minneapolis page. And, though I wish I didnt have to say it This page is all my opinion. Take what I say with a grain of salt. This page is big, but that doesnt mean Im the grand high poobah of science fiction or RPGs or whatever. Some people have been offended that I didnt include something, or that I stated my opinion. Well, if you disagree, get your own pageSend me a good introduction and Ill probably even link to it. Back to the top of the page or back to RPGs in General. So, why RPGs RPGs are, for me, one of the most interesting and fun activities out there. When you read a book, you are forced to go along with the authors storyline you cant tell the main character not to open that crypt or hit that big red button. In RPGs, though, you have exactly that kind of control. And RPGs can, in many ways, be more immersive than reading a book through immediate, face to face interaction, you can experience things with an immediacy that books never approach. Even computer games cant approach the infinite possibilities and social depth in face to face, pen and paper RPGs. Here are some things of general interest about RPGs RPG. I hang out on the forums there quite a bit. Its quite a community almost entirely gamer geeks, of many stripes, but generally intelligent and nice. En. World probably has the biggest RPG forums out there, but its pretty much all D2. D D. The Forge has a lot of rather abstruse theory about RPGs, but theyve produced some of the most innovative and coolest games out there. If I subscribed to an RPG magazine, itd be Pyramid. Back to the top of the page or back to Hard science science fiction role playing games Hard SF has been one of my main interests in RPGs for many years now. Im not sure why, but I think its because I like my SF to specifically concern itself with the ways that technology will change our lives in the future, and because I like fiction that doesnt throw believability out the window. My favorite SF RPGs, and some sites about them, are listed below. Blue Planet. This RPG is probably one the better designed backgrounds of anything available sort of the Hrn of SFRPGs. The authors ideas, particularly about biology and ecological issues, are excellent. Their care and consistency in designing Blue Planet is evident everywhere. Blue Planet has been published in two versions the first by Biohazard Games, the second under license by Fantasy Flight Games. The main difference is the game system the first edition was percentile based, while the second has a D1. To be honest, I dont particularly like either editions game system, but I do prefer the second edition. If you want to buy the game for its setting, which is by far its biggest selling point, either edition will work. Some Blue Planet sites The site of Bio. Hazard Games. The creators and owners of Blue Planet, Bio. Hazard Games seems to be very interested in quality. Their site is very high quality, as well. A very good Blue Planet fan site, Bleue Planete. This is a site primarily organized in French, but many of the sites pointed to are in English. The site is also quite pretty. There is also an English version, and while it hasnt been updated recently, the current site has no English version at all. ADCreated by the now defunct Game Designers Workshop, 2. AD has an excellent star spanning background with a definite hard SF feel. My own SF background, Spheres, was partially inspired by 2. AD. Far and away the best 2. AD page is Pentapods World, which contains vast amounts of information, both game mechanics related and general. Etranger is all about the military forces of 2. AD. It features, among other things, amazing 3. D starship illustrations by Laurent Esmiol. Andy Slacks 2. 30. AD page has a ton of cool stuff for the game. A lot of it could be adopted for use in other hard SF games, too. He has another page with a lot of other cool things for 2. AD and other games. The rest of the site seems to be down, but theres a page with some very nice maps of the colonies in 2. AD. Jovian Chronicles. Jovian Chronicles, by Dream Pod 9, is one of the best hard SF games out there. Its set in the year 2. Solar System but fragmented into large coalitions, largely around a planetary framework Mercury is its own rich nation, Earth and the Jovian colonies are the main superpowers, etc. The tech level definitely puts it in the ranks of hard SF no FTL, no aliens well, almost, no artificial gravity just realistically projected computers, drives, etc. There are mecha, and they dont really make much sense, but theyre easy to ignore. The background theyve written for the various societies is really excellent and detailed, the vehicle design system is nearly perfect, and the art and feel is great. The game system is also pretty good, both fast and gritty in feel. If I were to run an SF game using a published setting, it would probably be Jovian Chronicles. The main site for Jovian Chronicles is Dream Pod 9s own site theyre the publishers of the game. The Dream Pod 9 Forum has a section devoted to Jovian Chronicles, and it looks pretty active. Vector. Sphere is the homepage of Marc A. Vezina, one of the main designers of Jovian Chronicles. His page has all kinds of nifty things. Ghislain Barbe, the lead artist for Jovian Chronicles, also has a nifty site. The Jovian APAworks was an Amateur Press Association APA devoted to Jovian Chronicles. Lots of interesting articles there. Other SFRPGs. Those three RPGs are the main ones. There are several others that Im strongly interested in, though High Colonies. Designed by Eric Hotz, the excellent artist for much of Hrn. Master and Hrn. World, and Edwin King. The game mechanics werent terribly inventive at all the authors used the same basic combat system, for example, as Mercenaries, Spies and Private Eyes, which I think was based on Tunnels and Trolls, one of the first RPGs but I like the setting.
