I am currently writing a RPG based on Firefly using a hybrid of Cyberpunk and Fuzion.
The system is somewhat detail oriented, yet free flowing enough to avoid an overabundance of dice rolling. It is a game that should work well for the Firefly Universe.
There are alot of people doing the same thing on the web and even on this web site. See the board game thread for detail on that.

For those interested, I will be running a few games of Firefly at GenCon Indy this year, so stop by if you get the chance.

I'd recommend a recent game called Freelancer.
Prettly linear, but the multiplayer is really open. You can smuggle, pirate, or frieght cargo for fun and profit.

Do any of you remember Boothill? Wild west theme...skill based and more suited to quick and deadly combats. If I can find a copy (it's loooong out of print) I think it would be easy enough to integrate transport and other technology.

Interesting little g.d.d., although it mostly boils down to Firefly info.

deep7.com has a Red Dwarf game .. yep a lisenced property based on the BBC program. The feel of the game is very cinematic ... with some tinkering this could be used for a Firefly game

just my 3 cents

deep7 has a website at http://www.deep7.com/

the basics about the Red Dwarf gsme are here http://www.deep7.com/games/reddwarf/

a pdf of a couple of sample pages of rules for the game can be access here ... http://www.deep7.com/games/reddwarf/quickstart.pdf

a FAQ page for the game is here http://www.deep7.com/games/reddwarf/faq.html

It isn't a board game or an RP. It's hockey. Ice hockey.

It has shoot outs. Dramatic shoot outs with the lone rider coming (skating) into town (net) facing the sherriff (goalie) and firing off a bullet.

Loyalty? It's a team game where fisticuffs have been known to erupt and no one gets away with pushing your buddies around.

Humor? Look at Patrick Roy's face the next time a puck gets by him and you'll laugh your butt off.

Wings. Serenity has wings. Hockey has wings.

yeah, it's hockey. It all comes back to hockey.

I know ya'll are talking about these games that are mostly pen and paper type stuff. But has anyone thought of modding a M.U.D. into the firefly universe? If this has been mentioned and I somehow missed it sorry hehe.
