    There was even a book that added magic to the setting.

    Man, I wish I'd found this before plunking down money and time on Starfinder.

      Alternatively, you can now add in whatever you want from Starfinder to this game. Which I am very, very tempted to do.

    Actually, most of the supplements were written for the 1st edition. He took care not to invalidate any of it, for those of us who had a shelf full of his stuff already.

    Nice to see you approve of Stars Without Number. And Winona. Clearly we share a taste for the finer things in life.
    But I feel you missed one of the most important points about SWN, and that's the game system is very much the lovechild of OD&D and classic Traveller, with the combat system being d20 based and the non-combat skills system being 2d6 based. This means it's very easy to use SWN with adventure material produced for OD&D inspired OSR systems or for Traveller or related 2d6 Sci-Fi systems (Cepheus Engine, MongTrav. I've run an adventure written for Traveller, adapting on the fly, with no problem whatsoever.
    And not only is the official setting barebones and you're expected to create your own worlds and sectors, but it's actually packed full of random tables and inspiration to help you do so, and the whole thing is designed so you can quickly come up with stuff on the fly mid-session.
    I can't praise SWN highly enough.

      The random generators in the book are great. I've had the PDF for a good while and plan to back the upcoming offset print 2021 Kickstarter. I just received the print copy of my backed Worlds Without Number fantasy version of this and the book is great. Quality products.

    I went and got the book without pausing the video. It took me until 2:20 to start downloading after having found the link in the doobly do, signed in, and hit confirm a bunch of times. But sadly, I missed out on the Winona Ryder pics.

    Conceptually, it sounds a lot like GURPS. I'll jump in on a game if I get the chance.

    Excellent game. I got both original and revised versions, plus all the supplements. All the other Sine Nomine Publishing games are great too.

      Not to mention that they are all pretty much compatible with each other. My SWN players got scared when I mentioned I was thinking about picking up Silent Legions, his Lovecraftian horror game.

      The revised edition is awesome. If you like the 1st edition, you'll love revised. The rules have been tweaked, streamlined, and expanded in places, but it's almost totally compatible with 1st edition.

      Then when she finally calls or stops by to say hi I'll know that she's a gamer therefore we have something in common and we can start up a conversation on our mutual shared interest.
