Whoah, this is an interesting development! Very sorry to hear about your friend’s fate, though. I’d expect him to appreciate the direction you’re taking with the project.

Space opera with Solar System is something I’ve considered myself as well. It’s a challenging genre in a way, as it takes a certain sort of constructive denial for the group to set aside the futuristic trappings and treat the setting as the dramatic fantasy stuff it really is. Scifi roleplaying games feel more difficult to approach than fantasy in part because of how complex such worlds feel; a space opera should get around this by being decisively stylized.

Let me know if you need auxiliary support on the product development.

Hi, I’m Gonçalo’s friend, from Porto, Portugal, and only today I realize what happened. Next tuesday, 24 january, I’ll be in Lisbon, for a homage. Thank you for this post, now I understand what really happened with him. Hope he’s in peace, and thank you for this tribute to a very special person: Gonçalo.

Comment on How To Play Sorcerer by João Mendes

Hoy,

Yeah, I was thinking that. Thing is, I can’t get over the fact that it has detailed combat resolution in a game that’s not really supposed to be about combat…

Meh, maybe some day, if I don’t have to be the guy running it…

Cheers,
J.

Yeah, but now we’re in the nose and maybe it does work when the rules are so blunt about it like those ones.

Hoy,

We’ve been “trying it out” for the past, oh, twenty years or so…

Cheers,
