This is a quick rundown of our first session with this new system.
There are 5 of us plus a GM. We all created characters, and not one of us created a human/humanoid player character.
We got through a ‘training’ session with our characters’ new employer, who hired us to do a thing.
We got a ship, which was a piece of crap, so we flew to where Bruce’s character’s ship was located, and that’s about where we stopped. I think.
We may have ended on the planet where we have to do the thing.
So far, it’s much more straight forward than our experience with Mutants and Masterminds, which makes sense since Hyperlanes in basically Space D&D 5E.
Oh, and Grok (my koala character) is armed with a pistol and an axe. The choppy kind, not a guitar.
I went through the character creation section of the latest Star Trek RPG system (PDF), and the result was my obligatory Vulcan science officer.
The system seems solid, I just don’t know if my group will ever get around to this game.
We all like Star Trek, but we all like super heroes, too, and couldn’t get our heads around Mutants and Masterminds.
Also, we’re starting up Hyperlanes, which is a cinematic space opera RPG using the D&D 5th Edition rules.
So, for the time being, Lt. Commander Seevok, science officer of the starship [to be determined], will sit in another file folder until needed.
One of the projects I backed on Kickstarter was for a role-playing system called Hyperlanes.
It’s described as cinematic sci-fi for Dungeons and Dragons 5th Edition.
I just downloaded the PDF for it, and so far I like what I see.
Aside from everything else in here, I’ve already seen quotes from Firefly, Guardians of the Galaxy, The Empire Strikes Back, and The Clone Wars.
I can’t wait to sit down and read this thing. The first thing I’m gonna do is create a race of tech-savvy koalas.
And then I’ll create a character or two.
