I’m not positive about this one. I need to review the system a bit more, but I’d like to run a Serenity RPG game.

At this point I have 4 pre-generated characters stated up, players will be able to develop all the flavour themeselves.

It’ll probably start with the characters right in the middle of a heapin’ pile o’ trouble (i.e. a fight) and just aching to get off-planet. ‘Course the they ain’t likely to find a respectable ship to take them offworld on short notice . . .

Serenity RPG is based on the sci-fi/western TV series Firefly and the Film (Serenity). The core world’s are high-tech and heavily controlled by the Alliance, while out on the newly terraformed Rimworlds folk are more likely to be hearding cattle and carrying six-shooters then staring at screens. The Alliance don’t take much interest in folks out here on the Rim.

The game uses mechanics called the Cortex System. Players stats/attributes and skills are given a die rank (eg a d2 would be inept, while a d12 would be superb.) Roll two dice, add them up and see how you do.

The characters find them selves at the first spring festival in the village of Merriclet. Things get interesting when a know bandit turns up. Does the maps he carries actually lead to the Buried City of Terrathor?

Microlite20 is a trimmed down, sub-miniaturized version of Dungeons&Dragons 3rd edition, that has been designed to be quick and easy to play.

This is an excellent way to start playing RPG’s if you’ve never done so before. Combats and other interactions are fast freewheelin’ and fun. Rules are so straightforward that players will be making their own Characters.

Come join the Adventure!
