While I don't love #TheExpanse, my - most likely unpopular - opinion is that it is better than #Babylon5

What about the asteroid spotter?
We learned a lot about their capabilities from the ship I threw at them.

I like the Dragon Age, Fantasy AGE systems. I do think they suffer a little bit from not having the vast trove of monsters, magic items and lore that D&D has.
Curious to see how the system works for a sci-fi rpg.
I have only skimmed the rules so far, but I applaud the writers for getting the first page of the GMs section right.

Was watching #StarTrek Discovery last night and saw an example of a common #SciFi scene that irks me: "Oh, is that a book, I've never seen one in person before, how quaint, isn't that inefficient mass to storage..."
It bugged me in #TheExpanse too.
Because like, we've been doing digital computers for a while now and if anything, storage has gotten more volatile, not less. Meanwhile, I'm just someone who wanders used bookstores and buys cool things and I have 19th Century #books. Intact.

Thug: "So?"
Amos: "So...you have to ask yourself, how much damage do you think I could do to you in two minutes before the knockout gas gets to me? 'Cause I'm betting it's a lot"

Regarding existing tropes: natural influences include #startrek, #theexpanse, #firefly, etc.:
- Political, military, and trade conflicts
- Mind-bending encounters beyond the known, often in the name of science
- Slice-of-life stuff: breakdowns, conflicts among crew, etc.
What other common tropes do folks want to see?

Gunny: "Sure, I have. All the time. But there's a trick. You just have to believe that what you're doing really matters, and then the fear can't control you."

FML.
Iβve started reading book 9 of #theExpanse and was confused by a huge jump in time. Seemed like a strange choice by the authors.
I accidentally skipped reading book 8. π€¦π»ββοΈ
That sure does explain things!
Iβve been reading all my life and this is the first time Iβve ever made a boneheaded mistake like that.
Guess my reading is on pause until I can get the missing book sent to me, lol.
(The book series is really fucking good, btw).
