Anyone know where I can find a “World” game that is the sci-fi space travel type genre? Would be really interested to see what options are out there. I know there is a Star Wars ruleset somewhere out there, but I would rather have a more grim or realistic style.
Thanks!
Adrian Thoen can help you with that :v
He’s working on exactly what you’re looking for.
Uncharted Worlds is the one I’ve been following most closely:

There was also some chatter on story games about “Traveller World,” which I believe is more a direct hack of Traveller. Haven’t followed it very closely, though.

Oh, sorry… there’s also Roge Trader: Apocalypse (a Warhammer 40K hack):

Would you be interested in a setting where you explore space, but all the characters are robots?
Adventures on Dungeon Planet for Dungeon World skims the edge of that genre group; it’s really a planetary fantasy supplement, but could be a starting point for someone to do a space opera hack.
Thanks guys! Jeremy Strandberg especially you.
