Curious as to what Sci fi apocalypse powered games are out there? I’m looking for something that includes cool playable alien species and lots of tech. Some examples of things this game could run would be Star Craft, Star Wars, 5th Element ect.

Impulse Drive
Uncharted Worlds and Impulse Drive are the biggies. Impulse Drive is currently free on DTRPG. Coriolis, like all recent Fria Logan games, is also essentially PbtA, despite the lack of acknowledgment by its designers.
Uncharted Worlds.
I really wouldn’t consider Coriolis and the Mutant Year Zero games to be even sorta PbtA. They have what amounts to playbooks, but that’s where the similarities end.
That being said, Coriolis is an excellent sci-for game and might be just what you want regardless.
Far-flung also, but it’s fairly far from normal PbtA.
Far-flung interests me greatly, but I am still unsure if I want to pony up that $15.
Infinite Galaxies is my game in development. Kickstarter is in June. You can download everything you need to play at http://www.infinitegalaxies.net

Do any of these games’ playbooks use alien/human as a base template with a job rounding it out (i.e. a Salarian marine). I want a game where your species is as important as your job in regards as to the moves you get.

Erik Buchanan I don’t know Impulse Drive, but the other mentions do not. It is a very un-PbtA thing to do. A playbook is not really about what you can do, but a more general theme distilled from certain source materials. So there are already two strikes against what you are looking for.
