Yep. That is a pretty good system and very flexible. It's essentially d20, but it has that difficulty dice thing that adds a little more randomness to things. Good idea. Cross genre too so that western space adventure makes perfect sense. Real good idea.

Now we need that data base of worlds and vocabulary. (lol)

My bro in law worked on the Farscape d20 (and the Red Dwarf d6), and has his notes and things. He's also a Firefly fan.

Ideas?

Xeriar whats wrong with BESM? the ruls are simple to learn and simple to run and its a fun game when done right. And to tell you the trouth I started working on the rpg last night and decided not to go that way im using the D10 system in stead.

I saw a thread on the Fox board where someone was compiling a list of the planets/towns/etc. for use in a RPG. It had the names, along with episode references and what information was known about them.

Has anyone considered doing that for other aspects of the universe? Sort of a publically-available Firefly RPG sourcebook?

Actually, I've been working on developing a site like that -- with a database of every "noun" in Firefly, with lots of cross-referencing among tidbits of information.

At this point, I'm still working on the data architecture before I start collating everything from every episode and plugging it all into PHP/MySQL.

If anyone would be interested in participating in this activity, drop me a line.

I'm interested. Not sure where to drop you a line at, though, other than here.

My personal opinion for a flexible, sound and playable system that would fit a firefly rpg would be Fuzion. I have personally found this system to be robust enough to handle either a loose story-telling style of play, or a more technical style. It is also available for free download, so that also helps.

I don't think there's anything wrong with d20, or any other system for that matter... it's all about the GM and the players. They make the game, not the rules.

D20 happens to have a LOT of material available, with more to come. I'd have to say that d20 Star Wars rules would provide a solid groundwork for a Firefly RPG. Additionally, the Sanity rules from d20 Call of Cthulhu could be patched in for River and Reaver victims. CoC also has expansive firearms stats.

YEA! Give that man a cigar. Or a milk shake or something.

My group has been playign firefly for several months with a system created by a young designer who works with this same philosophy. I'll see if I can get his permission to post it the rules he created.

Games not rules. What a concept!
