Now I'm wonder how easy it would be to hack with a modern lite system like Fate Accelerated Edition or Uncharted Worlds (Power by the Apocalypse with a healthy nod to Traveller.)
I'm finding the issue for me is in going from the Basic to the Expanded. SF Basic plays very lite rules wise. It seems very OSR-liike, except being percentile it's more like RQ/BRP lite. SF Expanded adds in the skills, details, situation modifiers, racial abilities, and crunch.
After trying SF Expanded once, I might go back to using SF Basic rules again primarily with some of the SFE details sprinkled in.
I really love Star Frontiers, but the combat system just doesn't stand the test of time for me...
ReplyDeleteBut I'm still determined to have a(nother) solo game of it some day.
