Back in the early 80's (83? 84?) I was at miniFIGS convention in Ontario and a person was hawking a space RPG he had written. My friend brumbar, and I, both bought a copy (long since lost). It was a very rules -light game. I have been trying to track it down but have had zero success
I think the game was called Exploring Space, but that is such a generic title that my Google-fu is not working
Does this twig any memories in anybody?

I think you mean Star Explorer. I would describe it more as a board game with RPG elements, though. But it is based on a proper RPG. Starships & Spacemen is the best game of exploring space that I know. You can get a copy from Dan Proctor. There is also a sandbox for it by Paul Kidd, called The Lucanii Drift. Great stuff. |

Hi falconer. I checked that out, but that wasn't it. This was an RPG with home-made production values

The "Encylcopedia of Role-Playing Games" (http://darkshire.net/jhkim/rpg/encyclopedia/fulllist.html) lists something called "Small Space" which is apparently a spin-off of "Dinky Dungeons", which from what I can tell was pretty DIY.

Wow, that looks rad! Would love to find and try a complete copy sometime.

Small Space is 3x5, so that's not it. This was an 8.5x11 booklete. Great website though

Can you remember anything about the game? The cover. Colors? Anything on the inside. Illustration, table or chart? Anything? |
