Quick and dirty.
White Star, the SciFi reimagining of Swords and Wizardry White Box by +James Spahn , Mr White Box himself, has hit Silver at RPGNow in less than 24 hours.
If that's not a record, I don't know what is.
If you haven't grabbed your copy yes, you can grab it at a discounted price in PDF at this link. Dead tree copies should be available in a few weeks from what I understand.
James, I salute you (and The Badger too ;)
I had to pick this one up because of all the Star Wars equivalent archetypes. I guess even George Lucas's scorching and burning of the franchise with the prequels can't ruin the allure of Chewbacca, Yoda, and human Jedi Knight equivalents.
ReplyDeleteJedis suck. All this game needs is Han Solo and Chewbacc to be a winner!
ReplyDeleteIsn't Stars Without Number the same thing? A sci-fi version of Basic D&D?
ReplyDeleteStars Without Number seems to be more "hard SF" (well, with psionics). White Star is more influenced by Star Wars and "pulp" sources. In fact, the Mercenary is the only White Star class that doesn't map onto at least one character from the original Star Wars trilogy (episodes IV-VI).
