Traveller.
--Classic Space Opera
--2d6 based
--Best character backstory generator out there.
Enough random charts & tables you could almost run it without a GM.
--Rules for space battles, ground combat, merchant shipping and espionage.
--Literal "planet of the week" setting.

Dungeon World. It could easily be adapted to sci-fi with minimum effort, it is also 2d6 based like Traveller but without as many autistic rules, and the Traveller chargen system could easily be ported to Dungeon World: simply roll a d6 to see if your character dies during chargen. There. That meme is preserved. Now onto the impotant stuff like the actual story.

Good one anon!

Stars Without Number has a pretty neat setting and fluff.
The OSR class-based mechanics aren't well suited to sci-fi, but some of the supplements are quite good.
Suns of Gold is how I run interstellar commerce

(not op) any suggestions about wich books i should get besides the basic rules?
>>
>>49889150

I know you're just ironically shitposting, but somebody did make an AW hack called Traveller World.
(Dunno how good it is, I'm a Classic Traveller guy.)

>MGT2e

>Cash in edition

>Still the same old Mongoose quality

It's not like they really improved it or anything.

I unironically love Edge of the Empire's mechanics, even if my feelings for the Star Wars setting and aesthetic swing wildly between absolute adoration and visceral loathing.

>>49892659
Anyone have this? I can only find one link to what seems to be the original download site, but it´s dead.
>>
>>49894849

I've got an early alpha version, I don't know what came out after this, if anything.
>>
>>49895041
That´s the only one I´ve been able to find (well, broken links). Guess it never moved on.

Thanks!
