Looking at the reference guides online, the one I missed out entirely on was the Orbit source book…. that would have come in handy for Autumn Rain, methinks.

Yes, Second Cold War would be awesome as it is a territory that has not been set in stone with canon (the books). It would work like an RPG set before Lord of the Rings books (or even the Hobbit). Hmm… come to think of that, probably better :)

I’m an old Cyberpunk ref since the 2013 days, it appears I’m also one of the few who likes the version 3 setting. It just has so many possibilities…..

I never actually played Call of Cthulu, but enough folks have suggested it to make me think there’d be appetite for such an analysis. . .

Eve Online: art is fab, and I’ve been meaning to check it out, especially now that I’m looking at getting back into writing for video games. . .

As to an Autumn Rain RPG, that’d be interesting. Certainly the Second Cold War offers endless opportunities for adventures. Btw, fans of Gamma World will rightly suspect that the cryptic alliance The Apocalypse was a big influence on Autumn Rain itself….

How about one of the Palladium line like Rifts, for a well developed world spoiled by overpowered characters. Or maybe Dragon Warriors simple, cheap but surprisingly good classic fantasy. I suppose White Wolf should get a mention as well….

I’m now wondering where I stashed my copy of Classic Traveller :-D

I’ve never been a big MMO fan, never got into world of warcraft or anthing but Eve Online is pretty addicting, and something that runs along the lines of what your books deals with.

I would be also very interesting to see an RPG adaptation of Autumn Rain trilogy maybe using the new Traveller engine (by Mongoose Publishing) :)

About other old time school rpgs. What about Twilight:2000 or Cyberpunk 2020?
