  • Fair enough. My first attempt at a sci-fi RPG was the rather ill fated Babylon 5 TTRPG. I was exposed to Shadowrun, and Cyberpunk, but being 13-15 years old, an old Whovian, a Trekkie, and a Babylon 5 fan at the time, I couldn’t see a future that was that bleak and dystopian.

    It’s only been recently, as in the last decade or so, that I have realized that Babylon 5 was a playbook, and a dream, for an anti fascist overthrow of a fascist government. Unfortunately we don’t have a space station that can just barely support itself, with a portion of the military loyal to the constitution of earth, without the government, and can stand up to the government militarily.

    Edit: nah, I’m not older than my real age. I’m 45 and can feel it. Every few months one of my joints introduces me to a whole new place that pain can come from. I may need to get some osteobiflex.
