Has anyone seen starship troopers? I love the movie and very much want to run a game using Uncharted Worlds. Would anyone be interested in that setting (movie version)
Come on you apes you wanna live forever!

Has anyone seen starship troopers?
As a Hangout game? Of course! – I’ll gladly do my part!
Would love me some Starship Troopers!
The book is a favorite of mine. The book is always better than a film adaptation, but this time it is MUCH better.
Judd Goswick I disagree in one regard. The book is better fiction the movie is more fun. I mean it’s a bad movie and yet it’s one I watch again and again. Read the book once. So my game would be based on the films. If you’re down for that let me know.
I really like the movie much better than the book (the book is much too serious and fascist in its message). And I do like the Roughnecks animated TV series, too.
No time for any more games right now, but I’ll read the hell outta some APs of this!
Frank Falkenberg I agree. I haven’t been able to see the animated series yet.
Josh McGraw right on.
I can recommend the animated series. Actually, the different military campaigns in this series would make really good settings for Starship Trooper RPG campaigns. Different geography, different environmental hazards, different vehicles and – of course – lots of different types of bugs to fight.
Frank Falkenberg anywhere I can stream it? How can I find it?
Legally, I really don’t know. – But a Google search very likely turns up all the episodes anyway.
Legally streaming here, but just for 5 more days (?!): http://www.crackle.com/roughnecks-starship-troopers-chronicles
Keith Stetson excellent. Thanks.
The book had automated grenade-launcher racks and powered armour that jumped hundreds of feet at a step, to really bring the war down the aliens’ gullets. Or you can play the movie vision of more conventional “poor bloody infantry”. Make it clear which before you begin the game.
I would prefer the movie and Roughnecks series version as it is much more “down to earth” in general.
I very much intend on doing the movie version. It will be clear
Depends: Would we be Fleet or M.I.? ‘Cause you know what they say … 😉
Fleet? Do you really want to sit all day on your ass and watch the REAL HEROES earn all the glory? – M.I: makes you all you possibly can be.
M.I. – obviously. Fleet are a bunch of crybaby cockpit jockies that wouldn’t know service if it bit them in the ass.
We hate Fleet! Except gunners. Gunners keep those organic chitin-balls full of acid from hitting the battleship before we eject. We’ll buy a beer for a gunner!
I can’t believe I somehow hijacked this thread … Sorry Chalice In Chains
No worries bro. This is good info. Keeping the thread alive bumps it so more people will see it
