Sep 08, 2003 13:44:03 I was wondering if there were other settings out there that were similar to SJ. For example, Treasure Planet.

Any thoughts on this?

Aeon Flux - no idea on this one; haven't seen it in stores yet. Word of mouth makes it real close to SJ

and

Various airship/skyship products. Skyships are a fairly common theme.

Beyond that I'm unaware of any sort of SJ-isk product. Fantasy space is largely untried waters.

But other then the ones already mentioned I can't think of any.

Long time lurker. First time poster. You seem like nice folk, so I went ahead and registered.

There's actually a moderately informative thread about this very game over at RPGnet. You may have to search it as either "aether" or "flux" since "&" isn't recognized.

Besides Space: 1889 there really weren't many settings that used pre-Copernicum cosmological models. However if you 1) aren't filled with loathing when someone mentions Yahoo groups, and; 2) don't mind a Ptolemaic cosmology you can, if you like; 3) click the link in my WWW field.

Have a look around. Everything is pretty self explanitory.

Kind Regards,

Sep 11, 2003 22:45:20 There is also a game (in playtest) called Nine Worlds. The game is very Spelljammer-like, in a high concept indie RPG sort of way.

A review of it can be found here.
