  1. @hedgepig So ... Metamorphosis Alpha.

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Metamorp

    When it comes to picking mechanics, you have to really figure out what it is that you want to portray first and foremost. I would probably use #Starforged (or even raw #Ironsworn , depending on how I envisioned the internals of the ship).

    One of the places to start is "do you ever expect the PCs to leave the ship?"

  2. RIP Jim Ward

    he made some of my favorite early TSR RPG games & game books like Deities & Demigods, and Metamorphosis Alpha. The latter an influence/source for both Gamma World and the classic AD&D adventure module Expedition to the Barrier Peaks. I played all of them

    Jim Ward's work was also a big influence on my own WIP computer game Slartboz (set in a post-apoc Normerika of 2100 CE.)

  3. I am hearing James M Ward, the designer of many games, including one of the first Science Fiction RPG's Metamorphosis Alpha has passed, very sad, my condolences to his friends, and family. 😢

    Science fiction fun in an RPG. #Traveller and #dnd were the only RPGs at that time. MA went there! Mutants, mutations, zany races, gonzo tech all stuffed in a failed generational starship. It felt unlimited. DandD was Tolkien limited and Traveller was military limited.

    It would not be an understatement to say that it changed my life.
