Lunchtime Poll #21: Game Spinoffs
What’s the best media tie-in game out there—Star Wars? Buffy? Take a position and explain it. Ladies and Gentlemen, start your opinions!
I own it, but haven’t played it. Despite that, I have to go with Decipher’s Star Trek. Its system is quite similar to the norm– 2d6+Stat bonus+skill, but the Narrator’s Guide is excellent. It gives concrete advice on how to structure an episode, how and why you’d want to choose different eras, practical advice on themes, and introspection on episodic versus campaign structure.
Character creation is pretty good, allowing you to select the character you want, plus it gives you enough picks to add some detail.
Honorable mention goes to WEG’s d6 Star Wars.
