Our gaming group is starting up an adventure using the Stars Without Number rules. It's been a long time since I've gotten to play a space opera RPG, the last one I played was the West End Star Wars RPG. Normally I'd spend some time thinking about the character and coming up with a story; however we were rolling for stats so the dice were going to be a big influence on what each of us plays.
Well we've rolled the dice and I get to play a space marine.
