I posted this nearly a decade ago, but I thought it made sense still to this day, so I reposted it.

My buddy James released his Sword & Backpack: Reforged yesterday and I decided I was happy enough with scifi hack to go ahead and release it. This is my attempt to make a rules-lite, FKR scifi game with just enough meat that you could play out whatevercomestoyourmindversion of scifi. 

Check out James' awesome game that inspired mine:

Mine holds very close to his but adds more scifi elements to the game and some kickass amazeballs artwork. ;-) It is also free, so take a gander and let me know what you think:

Still working on this, but getting closer. Need to tweak a few things, figure out those shields at the bottom and work on the background area a little more...but very close!

I know some of you have started to wonder, but yes, I still do occasionally draw maps. I recently reread Olde House Rules' Mydwander (thanks to my pal James bringing it up in a discussion) and it really got me interested in the game.

Wouldn't you know it, I like pretty things, specifically pretty things I make, so I decided I wanted to redo the setting map. Nothing wrong with OHR's version, I just want to make a big ass, scalable, and detailed map because I want to use it in a solo game using the system. Just started last night but I have converted everything over to vectors and have a basic layout for what I want the final version to look like (for now, likely to change some).

I am fortunate to have been born in the best country on the planet and happy to have served my fellow citizens. May we forever be a beacon of liberty and hope on this blue ball circling the sun.

Update: Wow, the negative and hateful comments I have received for this post are simply shocking. This post is simply celebrating the fact that our country is amazing and a beacon of freedom and liberty. As comments on my blog are moderated, you won't see these comments because this is my blog and I won't condone your silliness. Go pet a puppy or something. Y'all need to get a grip. 

I do not know if I have ever supported a Kickstarter here on the blog but I cannot pass this one up. I read these books when they came out and somehow these floated under the radar of everyone I knew. This is a fantastically unique world, so very much unlike anything I have ever encountered in my fantasy reading. Sadly, they went out of print years ago but through this kickstarter, an American company is trying to bring them back to life. I am in for print and the epub. The setting and worldbuilding D.M. Cornish creates is fascinating, unique, detailed and complex, and a breath of fresh air in a genre that is full of secret princes, orcs and elves, and abundant Tolkienisms. 

Help this one come to life!
