Terminal Space

To finish let’s talk about the Terminal Space supplement, its existence I noticed through the blog Dreams of Mythic Fantasy.

Terminal Space gives material to convert the original edition of Dungeons & Dragons, or the retroclones inspired by this, in a science-fiction game. If you are interested in classics like Flash Gordon by Alex Raymond or The Cycle of Tschai by Jack Vance and want to create similar worlds I’m sure that this work can be used as a starting point.
