How does Starforged compare to D100 Space? I wonder which is better? Any comments from anyone who has played both?
It is well presented and explained in the rulebook. Top notch! But it still needs quite some commitment to get going. And after I looked at the oracle tables I was a bit disappointed on the possibilities. But maybe I was expecting too much.
Good timing , ordered the pdf earlier today. Lensman series , though I read it in the 60s!.
Very excellent in depth coverage. Once again showing why you are the master of game reviews!
Finally yes!!!! Welcome to failing a lot! It makes the game awesome
Great video on a great game! Big fan.
That's a really dope world/character/theme you've built up there.
Amazing! I'm studying Starforge in these days! Good choice Daniel!
Solo RPG Friday – yet another reason to love Friday! Thanks, Daniel! I'm just getting started with my first Starforged campaign so this is good timing.
Really need to get back to starforge. I love the system, just not yet 100% on it. We played it as a group game and enjoyed it but I think solo is where it truly shines.
Once again a great video, good information and very thorough. I have purchased a few new books that I had not and had in my library, really look forward to the cross time tavern. And I totally understand why you think that it is not a good starter game. I do on the other hand think it is a good place to start because whether you get the rules 100% right or not, which have to playing for well over 40 years I never get the rules right all the time, I just enjoy playing, but I think mostly it's good because it concentrates a lot on and visiting the narrative doing everything out of the story and making the rules part of that as opposed to the thing that you focus on the most. But if you're not into that then definitely not a good place to start. And on the other hand most people learn to play through dungeons & dragons and we all know what those rules are like. Once again great work and I look forward to your videos every time they come out.
This is great! This games had me intrigued for a while, looking forward to the rest of the series!
Thanks for covering this did not even know about it, ordered it straight away. Once again your tastes in books and games are totally on point with my own.
Thanks for the reading recommendations! I hadn’t heard of a couple of those novels. Love your channel… I just recently discovered and subscribed to @allfictionisfantasy too.
Every time you mistakenly call it Iron Helm, Jason Glover's dark influence grows.
I also had to laugh every time you brought up City–with the head of a giant dog looming over a cityscape–and mentioned the author's name was Clifford.
I’ve looked at things like starforged and I really want them and really want to want them, but having played boardgames rather than rpgs all my life I find it so hard to sit down and just decide the outcome/story myself. I need rules that give me my parameters and tell me what’s possible and what isn’t. I like d100 space/dungeon, ( I know there’s 4ad, wasn’t a fan though), fabled lands, other more linear gamebooks, games like hexplore it
Is there an rpg that’s like 90 per cent not an rpg ( but more like any of the above) and then only 10 per cent an rpg where it sometimes asks you to come up with your own stuff ? Or maybe I can play starforged/Ironsworn and then I utilise some exterior resource, where it just gives you all the outcomes and you just roll them up ? ( and it’s actually a really good fit, not just a fit because it needs to and the fit is pretty meh)
Thanks !
This is a truly unique version of Starforged world building. Too any of these turn into a Mandelorian clone. I love this example of the flexibility of the world building.
See you at Callahan's for a drink sometime.
Greatness!

100% agree fiction is the best thing for Soloist! Consuming the media itself is the best thing that helps imagination flows. Now I need to check out the reading list 🙂
I like how you are using the books to help with inspiration for your game. I picked up the Death World trilogy might help with Death in Space.
Have you read new king? 😮 i liked it (:
Great stuff!
I own both IronSworns – every time i go to play i get so involved with what im going to create; i never even make it to playing…
Perfect timing and great review and intro – I've been looking to get into Starforged but was finding it a bit overwhelming to know how to get started.
I'd love to play in the universe of the Alien movies. ❤❤❤
Would you please provide a run down of all the materials you are using? I see the book and the cards, and the printed material you referred to, but I also see a spiral bound book and some other bits and pieces.
