Who Dugg It?

Valthonis, on 10/12/2007, -0/+4Well, it was only a matter of time, really. Any time there's a successful sci-fi or fantasy based franchise, someone's gonna make an RPG about it. :-P I just hope it's actually, you know... good. Would be awesome if they got RDM and his writers to consult a bit...
Judge373, on 10/12/2007, -2/+11OMG OMG OMG! My inner BSG nerd is jumping for joy right now.
aznghetto456, on 10/12/2007, -9/+1Pretty soon Battlestar Galactica will take over the world...

and then the galaxy...

and then the galactica...
- ionbattle, on 10/12/2007, -13/+1I actually ***** my pants when I read this...literally...no really I did...
foolfromhell, on 10/12/2007, -1/+4wow...
All the Sci-Fi shows are getting their own RPGs...
SG, Trek, Firefly, this.
Some are computer games, some arent.
doit3d, on 10/12/2007, -0/+14If you haven't read the article, it is going to be a board/book game, similar in nature to the old style D&D RPG. No PC game, for those who wondered.
shannondees, on 10/12/2007, -3/+7Oh My Fraking Gods...:P
- foolfromhell, on 10/12/2007, -0/+7Anyone notice Roslin says "Oh my God" in the last few episodes?
  The Cylon propaganda has caught up to her. (Notice no plural in "God"?)
- koolaiddude, on 10/12/2007, -2/+8I replaced ***** in my vocabulary with frack long long ago.
- sockpuppets, on 10/12/2007, -11/+2Congratulations, you're a ***** nerd.
- LavaHot, on 10/12/2007, -1/+1It's my understanding that many humans worship one god in the polytheism, or even sets of gods. Although they still believe in all of the gods existence.
FearFactory, on 10/12/2007, -9/+2Shark the jump, this Battlestar will be taking....
nipplash, on 10/12/2007, -7/+0I wonder if they are going to resurrect the corpse Lorne Greene to do the voice-over for Commander Adama and how sweet would it be to get Dirk Benedict back as Lt. Starbuck , SWEET.
mrpacco, on 10/12/2007, -10/+5BSG RPG?? This is the best news I've heard since my girlfriend's abortion, FRACKIN' SWEET!
- pabloD, on 10/12/2007, -2/+1damn.
DeFex, on 10/12/2007, -5/+2Lets see. BSG has spaceships. fighters. ground fighting. huge ship to ship battles. and they make an RPG???!!!! weak :(
- CaptRR, on 10/12/2007, -0/+2Yah, I kind of have to agree on this one, it would seem this series would be ripe for a space simulator, like beyond the red line guys are doing.
Judge373, on 10/12/2007, -0/+5If you're hoping for a BSG videogame, there is an opensource game called "Beyond the Red Line" being developed, based on the Freespace2 engine. http://www.game-warden.com/bsg/about.html
- foolfromhell, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1FS2 FTW!
  I cant wait for all the mods coming this year, and Inferno's completion!
Caprica, on 10/12/2007, -1/+1Gods damn it! I was hoping for a -good- PC game!
Let me fraking pilot a viper and kick some cylon ass!
I'd seriously buy an Xbox 360 if someone made a BSG space combat game with great graphics. Make it multiplayer and I might even stop eating, sleeping and going out for a few months.
- Caprica, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0Let this be true : http://www.ebgames.com/product.asp?cookie%5Ftest=1&product%5Fid=200251
HappyScrappy, on 10/12/2007, -1/+2Is the Serenity RPG really best-selling and award winning?

Wasn't it just announced three weeks ago?
- saigumi, on 10/12/2007, -0/+2No the Serenity RPG has been out for quite a while and has an expansion book "Out of the Black".
  
  This is a Pen and Paper RPG, not one of those lame MMORPG PC games.
- Desslok, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1Serenity RPG has been out for about a year, maybe a little more, and yes it has won a number of awards.
- nx01, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1Serenity is actually the best selling non d20 RPG. Now if the damn series would just come back!
tektalk, on 10/12/2007, -4/+2Since when will a ***** movie or televised program make a good videogame franchise, and vice-versa.
- Desslok, on 10/12/2007, -0/+2It's NOT a videogame franchise, it's a pen-and-paper RPG! Learn to read and you might even be able to play it.
ericdano, on 10/12/2007, -4/+0This is lame. Really.
mancat, on 10/12/2007, -0/+3There's also a great BSG mod for Homeworld 2. Only 30% complete, but already very playable and enjoyable.

Wolfboy, on 10/12/2007, -1/+1delete
coldthing, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1god I'm such a nerd.
I want it!
ybisme, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1i wish the sg-1 fps game hadan't died.., at least it would have been something to last us after sg-1 gets cut by sci-fi this year..
MrFrostyUK, on 10/12/2007, -1/+0Christ digg me down, I should learn to read the article already before commenting. Thank god for edit!
