For those "hard science" guys and gals, this game might be for you.

What kind of game is Parsec?

Parsec is a science-fiction tabletop RPG that sticks close to what is feasible given what we know about the world today - the only big "cheat" is the new technology of faster-than-light travel.  The setting is composed of things we can easily imagine in our own future, without any supernatural elements like psionics or magic.  It's a simple, versatile game, and you can probably teach the system, create characters and be ready to play in an hour or two the first time you sit down.

I remember a game called Parsec for the TI-99/4A, funny how that was the first thing I thought of when seeing the title here.

Game looks interesting, I like the artwork.
I'm not overly fond of Zeb's Guide...nor do I have any qualms stating why. Tongue out

Looks like I might need to make this a conversion project... Cool
Oh humans!! Innocent We discover a galactic community filled with multiple species of aliens, and the first thing we think about is "how can we have sex with them?".

if you square a cube does it become an octoid?
