Farscape the RPG

Post by Crom »

Has anyone played it?

I was hoping to get some idea of how good it was before I buy it. Being a Farscape fan I thought it could be a lot of fun.

The action game is sorta fun. Kinda like a Diablo *lite*, but with guns... the best thing is that it's got a LOT of dialogue with voices from the entire original cast - and it's good too, very quotable, as much as the show. Some are maybe even funnier. But other than that, nothing to write home about.

Not to mention that it took 2 years or so to make, so it's all first season stuff :) some of the plot is really really old.

I've not played it, but I've seen it in stores. And it's allmost exactly like D&D, the SW RPG, and Spycraft. The same D20 rules. Do you know how to play with them? Pretty much anyone who has learned 1 D20 game can learn the rest in half an hour or less.
If you know any of the D20 games, you can play the Farscape one.

I've played D&D 3rd a couple times, so I should be able to handle the D20 aspect, but I was wondering if it was worth buying.
