In a message dated 8/25/2006 12:23:53 A.M. Eastern Standard Time, nils@???????????.de writes: No, becuase first of all many of the mainstream players weren't even born when SJ came out and they'll cry "u noobs stole from wow, u teh suck!!!1!", Unfortunately I agree with this statement. There would be no use trying to explaining to them that SJ came first because they would be thinking you a liar. Even if you brought the original books with you they might accuse you of making fake books. Especially since they were put out by the now defunct TSR. And second, I remember Disney once made a movie which basically transplanted treasure island into space. Granted, that was sailing ships powered by rocket motors (if I recall correctly) but I think it still flopped. It may have flopped but I rather liked it. But as an SJ fan I may be prejudiced. Of course the fact I'm also one of the rare straight furry gamers may have something to do with it (in the one and only SJ campaign I got to play I was a lupin ranger with mind flayers as my species enemy...Gods I miss playing him) I fear SJ is one of those strange fringe genres that simply aren't cut out to make it in the mainstream. I think that generations of players who grew up with actual space travel and rockets can't suspend their disbelief enough for SJ to work. I was born in 1972 and yet I find SJ to be the best setting of all time. Only Eberron comes close in the newest edition of the rules as far as settings go.
