Circles of Steel
by Ville K. [Verified Purchaser] Date Added: 06/22/2020 08:34:01

Circles mechanic from M-Space is something I read through but it didn't really click the first time. Circles of Steel gives great examples of actual, living organizations that are modeled with the system. This kind of extra stuff is why I like Frostbyte Books as a publisher.

M-SPACE Companion
by Ville K. [Verified Purchaser] Date Added: 06/22/2020 08:32:02

M-Space is an excellent adaptation of Mythras rules into science fiction genre. The M-Space Companion fleshes out the basic rules with welcome additions. With cybernetics rules you can run cyberpunk games in M-Space framework and I was especially fond of the Origins character creation option.

M-SPACE Companion
by Rory H. [Verified Purchaser] Date Added: 06/22/2020 00:24:50

Good comprehensive supplement for M-Space, especially for those thinking of sprinkling their science fiction with a bit of a transhunan spin. As with the core book, this is a very neat book that crams a lot of information into it in a sleek and stylish way. Good art pieces too.

M-SPACE Companion
by Anthony B. [Verified Purchaser] Date Added: 06/21/2020 21:43:44

If you had asked me what I might want to add to M-Space to make it a better toolkit for designing a futuristic universe for whatever SF ideas I might want to create or emulate, I would have had to think about it long and hard. I doubt even then that I would have come up with as useful a companion volume as this one. The M-Space Companion not only adds items 'missing' from M-Space, it expands on material in M-Space in innovative ways that broaden the scope of utility of the product and perhaps the imagination of the reader.

Particular standouts for me were the focused option suggestions and models for prosthetic devices and the deep dive into enhancing character creation.

As usual, the book is easy to read, use, and referenced. Further, it is well-bookmarked and in the 'It's square!" layout that seems to grab the hearts and minds of those who see other M-Space titles in print.

A teaser volume of additional details has also been made available, entitled Circles of Steel.

If you have used a D100 game in the past, or if you are simpy curious, this Mythras Gateway title is a worthy addition to the M-Space core book and can be expected to enhance your setting and character decisions whether you are planning to go for recreating Star Wars or Star Trek at your table, or if you are going to plumb the depths of your own imagination, 'out in the black'~

Really great material here and excellent work. Plan to work this into my core rules as I develop my conversion of an old Advanture I wrote for Traveller use back in the 80's. Now converting it to M-Space. Keep up the great stuff.

Great for mixing into my M-Space stuff. Excellent work. Plan to work this into my rules as I develop my conversion of an old Advanture I wrote for Traveller use back in the 80's. Now converting it to M-Space. Please keep it up. I would love to see A GM Shield with all M-Space and these add on's listed on it.

M-space

Being very expierenced GM that I am, I hate being dictated by the rules on how should I run my games, which is the reason I don't really buy into modern RPG design. BRP family is one of a kind; a tabletop-rules systems that is what RPGs were supposed to be in my eyes - a toolbox of rules and statistics that paves the way to our imaginations and helps bringing balance to the adventures and worlds that we create. No more, no less. This is what M-SPACE truely is. It is a complete system, one that does not require you to add or substract anything from in order to run your space-faring game. However it will also not break if you decide to do things your own way, which is not a common thing in a modern era of RPGs, that resemble board games with rules that are there to limit your potential and your imagination, so that every game session plays at the same, rather average level. There are no rules that will dictate how your players should roleplay their characters or how you should run your games. It's a sandbox of a rules system, which means that it has all the necessary rules to run a game in a SCI-FI universe - from PC's skills and attributes to equipment, combat rules, space-faring, alien creation, force (psionic) users and world building.

You can run anything SCI-FI related with M-SPACE and with very little changes. You can easily create Jedi Knight with the rules written here, Space Marine, galactic politican or Stormtrooper. As it is with all the BRP-related games; M-SPACE is very universal in a sense that every character, monster or robot is made of characteristics, attributes and skills. They all follow the same rules, making them more believable and easy to create. I could write much more on why D100 is the best system ever, but it has been said already so many times on the internet, that I don't see a point of repeating what other great minds have already said ;)

I cannot recommend more this game. Buy it! It's the best SCI-FI system that I know, that's for sure.

Definitely worth getting. Expands on the already excellent M-Space core rulebook. Is well thought out and a very interesting setting with plenty of room for GM's to build upon. This is a great sandbox setting and the three adventures provided really get the ball rolling. What I liked best is how it gets the most game fun out of the extended conflict rules that make M-Space the leading edge in sci-fi roleplaying. I can't imagine going back to roleplaying without extended conflicts. The adventures in Elevation intelligently apply those rules to make exciting gameplay.

The Triton Incident
by Jeremiah E. [Verified Purchaser] Date Added: 08/13/2019 09:08:10

I have been impressed with Frostbye Books and Michael Larimore's work. A longtime fan of Runequest, Traveller, and the BRP system this game and its take on the Mythras setting space Sci-fi is fantastic. The world of M-Space has a Traveller feel and the art work invokes a that nostalgia and sense of wonder, yet leave the viewer feeling as if they could easily be present in Mr. Larimore's world. The Triton incident is easily accessible adventure, the players are given a setting/location with several NPC's that feel real and have credible motivations. I don't want to delve too deeply into the story and spoil the content for viewers. I have enjoyed this product as well as its source game material of M-Space. I recommend this adventure as a good introduction or continuation of play in M-Space.

M-space
by Néstor C. M. [Verified Purchaser] Date Added: 08/02/2019 20:46:24

If you are interested on a D100 / BRP / Mythras traveller style campaign M-Space is a must have. Even, if you are interested on other scifi flavors, M-Space is a god point to start.

It add to Mythras several interesting rules, circles, extended conflicts, simplified combat and a different approach to Psychic powers than Luther Arkwright or Classic Fantasy. The circles are a kind of cult with several characteristics like influence or power that you can use for create societies and factions, for example you can use it for define the game terms from a Band to a interestellar megacorporation.

The extended conflicts are adapted from RevolutionD100, and are a very interesting tool that you can use for increase the drama, personally i believe that the consequences are to big and i personally prefer my own home rule that uses passions like 'aspects'.

Simplified combat comes from the extended conflicts and faster a lot the combats if your groups is more interested on other aspects of the game, personally, since the general rules comes from Mythras imperative i miss the inclusion of the rules showed at Mythras firearms, that are just the opposite.

When we arrive to Psychic powers we can see that the original game comes from BRP and they don follow the Mythras standard of 2 different skills. I dislike that a little but it is more a personal taste than a real problem. At the other side, there is a kind of powers tree, and i like to have requirements on the most powerful levels.

The specific scifi toolset comes with starships, alien creation and solar systems / planets rules.

Starships are created using modules, and are generally enough for represent anything you imagine except maybe, biologic ships or other exotic stuff. Aliens and planets are far away from MindJammer but still they are quite useful.

As a negative aspects, the book format is squared, which it should not be a problem unless the big exterior margins they have , it feels like a waste of space. Also, i would preferred some more inner margin to facilitate reading. I miss some more weapons, vehicles and equipment examples but definitively M-Space expands smoothly Mythras towards SciFi.

There are also a very interesting settings, of which Odd space is my preferred one although i don finished the reading of the last ones (elevation) and my opinion of it comes only from external reviewers. if i could, i would rate with a 4.5 aprox.

A must, as i said at the beginning.

A real interesting approach to the idea of Star Trek like organization in the real world of commerce, capitalism and trying to do the "Boldly Go" on a shoe string budget, with altruism as the guiding principle. It has the minimalist style of other Frost Byte products, but all the setting material one needs to get rolling, including three starting scenarios! Definitely in queue for my next SF based home game.

Odd Soot
by Rickard F. [Verified Purchaser] Date Added: 11/04/2018 08:42:39

Odd Soot is an intriguing game with lots of opportunities for exciting adventures. The caption ”Tell stories you have never heard before” captures it well. It has a Jules Verne-feel in a diesel punk setting. I imagine stories where the wonders of the late 1800:s meet the horrors of early 1900:s mechanical warfare meet Lovecraft-like mysteries. I especially appreciate the alien races. They are well constructed without the usual tropes.

Odd Soot
by A customer [Verified Purchaser] Date Added: 10/27/2018 13:23:27

HI, this is a interesting setting for Mythras. A 1920's like world with space travel. The big thing in this game is the Odd Soot, a disease which slowly drives you mad and is across many planets. There are a few tweks to the basic Mythras system most simular to M-Space by the space puplisher. I haven't played this as yet but I have played Mythras and Classic Fantasy so I know the system. I look forward to running this intreging setting.
