So, FFG is rolling out a GURPS-styled generic RPG book to fit their narrative dice system into a GM's choice of setting.
Thoughts? Personally i love the Star Wars RPG and the dice system and mechanics within, so this piques my interest.
GURPS but a good game? This sounds pretty awesome.
Yeah I'm going to keep an eye on this one.
At this point, I don't think I'll bother with any generic system. Especially one that needs special dice.
But FFG does make some nice looking books. If they release an interesting setting book (like Android), then *maybe*.
Boring cover.
FFG's writing, balancing and editing is crapshoot, their customer service is questionable, their pricing asinine, their proprietary everything scheme is anti-consumer and they are actively working against discounts. They are basically Allround GW but with worse customer service.
So, in short, miss me with that gay shit, senpai.
This.
An Android Netrunner book would sell me on this whole concept.
I was very pleased with Edge of the Empire's mechanics when I tried playing it, so this is definitely something I'll look into.
Their Star Wars game is pretty excellent, so I will definitely keep an eye out for this game.
I was actually thinking about making some sort of hack to use their dice in other settings, but hey, now I don't have to
Hah! Ditto. Was thinking about doing a hackjob just the other day, and then they come out with this. Neat.
Now i can rev up a Lovecraftian game. No offense to any lurking grognards, but Call of Cthulhu is pretty dated.
