Message | Got a question. Has anyone ever attempted to run a Star Blazers RPG? I did once, using the Star Wars Saga Edition Role Playing Game from Wizards of the Coast which is a modified D20 system. I ran a group of players through most of the 1st Season of the show. There were a number of problems, including the death of Derek Wildstar at the battle of Pluto, and one of my players attempting to kill Captain Avatar when he disagreed with a given order, but all in all the system adapted well to the Star Blazers universe (I just had to take out most of the Jedi and Force stuff except for the Iscandarian/Avalonian characters and those were toned down). I admit I sweated a bit during some game sessions, not least of which was the Battle of Pluto when the Gamilons attacked with the Reflex Gun. As DM my dice rolls were made publicly so my players would have known had I fudged the numbers. But the Argo survived even though the Gamilons had reduced the ship to less than 200 hit points. It was close though. Any thoughts? |
