Stupid podcast idea/suggestion #534
(Stolen from Sage Latorra and Adam Blinkinsop’s Another Question podcast and from Rich’s Black Sails AW): Take a well known geek media thing (a novel, TV series, movie, etc) and discuss which system you’d use and how you would adapt that to an RPG game/campaign.
This idea totally not motivated by me watching/reading the Expanse and trying to figure out which system to use… 😛
So which system did you choose? PbtA?

Dunno! Still thinking about it.. It’s hard sci-fi, but almost retro. No transhumanism. Setting wise: Similar to Eclipse Phase, but you have to strip away all the internet/post-scarcity/implants, etc. It actually resembles most the setting of the Buck Rogers XXVc TSR game, which has the hard sci-fi, but no transhumanism.
Mechanics? Dunno… Maybe Traveller? Star Frontiers? I don’t have Uncharted Worlds, so, maybe?
Hence my post 🙂

Not to detract from the OP, but how do I watch the Expanse?! I tried on Syfy.com and it says I have to have a cable subscription, and $3/ep on Amazon is a bit much.

I caved and bought it on iTunes… HD subscription for $30, I think?

Interesting. I was wondering. I’m cable-cut, managed to watch a few series while on vacation. Wanted to find a way to continue watching.

I have the same issue… I mostly go with Netflix and Amazon Prime, but get some stuff on iTunes. Or buy the Blu Rays if it’s the HBO super-primo stuff, like Game of Thrones.
EDIT: and it’s still cheaper than paying for cable subscription…

Stars without Number would be my bet for The Expanse. They got a faction system for mars and earth fighting and they got wonderful ship navigation table for when that one thing breaks and everything goes to shit. just don’t allow psionics.
