My idea is kind of a mix of 50-60's solar system sci fi (like Van Voght's <i>Asylum</i> and Zelazny's <i>Doors of His Face Lamps of His Mouth </i> and about a million million others) mixed with Forbidden Planet (I really love the WWII style "can do" space patrol and flying saucers). I just need to get to it.Aoshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00145284080419502886noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8302487761596456689.post-10926668575482671492010-09-28T17:15:01.282-04:002010-09-28T17:15:01.282-04:00@Risus - Glad I've made a convert to Moore and...@Risus - Glad I've made a convert to Moore and Brackett's work. I think each is terribly ignored.<br /><br />@Chris - True, though <i>Space:1889</i> is thoroughly Victorian in tech and set-up. It would be just as easy to add make up the solar system in, say, <i>GURPS Space</i>. I can sadly testify that not nearly enough people heard of PLANET X since we lost the month it was in the Zuda contest. :)<br /><br />@Daniel - Supposedly Tubb was inspired to do his Dumarest stories by Brackett's Stark, so they're not that far off.<br /><br />@Seaofstarsrpg - If only <i>more</i> people had thought PLANET X sounded amazing. ;)<br /><br />Matthew - I think your doing a good job with <i>Under the Dying Sun</i>. :)Treyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04647628467658839351noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8302487761596456689.post-58600528449174861442010-09-28T15:41:14.544-04:002010-09-28T15:41:14.544-04:00Whether I'm successful or not, Under the Dying...Whether I'm successful or not, <i>Under the Dying Sun</i> is supposed to evoke Brackett's Mars among other things.

Hope you do make that game. <br /><br />I'm contemplating a similar project, but one inspired more by the Dumarest stories of E.C. Tubb.
