It did have some good adventure modules.

A true cult RPG. Full of all sorts of exquisite "Dune vs. Cthulthu as directed by David Cronenberg" madness that you could swipe for any game.

I really liked the Empire's enemies, the Idorians.artikidhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17474295473142339717noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7487871339000666216.post-36073555785722790402021-01-27T07:57:55.956-05:002021-01-27T07:57:55.956-05:00"Strange fondness" is a good term for my..."Strange fondness" is a good term for my feelings about Spacemeaster as well. I bought basically everything that was made for it, even chasing magazine articles for the game, but didn't really play all that much. The default setting did fascinate me, and I got in a LOT of play time with Silent Death both pre-Night Brood-destroying-the-Empire and post, and still happily play it today. Even did a little Armored Assault (the ground combat game) and Star Strike (the precursor to Silent Death) but dropped bothw hen SD arrived shortly after in 1990.<br /><br />I still think the Time Riders supplement for Spacemaster may be the best "time travel campaign" idea mine ever printed, and Dark Space was the best early (1990 again) Cthulhu Mythos-Horror-Scifi mashup settings. Guess I have a taste for the oddball stuff from ICE.Dick McGeehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14521293874696659063noreply@blogger.com
