I know, as I know, I'm late for the train running on it, but when I read the free pdf, I couldn't believe that this game was free. Of course, there is a softcover and hardcover thus version, seeking to buy from that income is free.
What is SWN got going for it, when there are already so other games space and sci-fi I like? Well, it's the mechanics should be instantly familiar to anyone who has already been exposed to classic d & d. The skills system closer Voyageur, creation of a game that feels very familiar. This is not a game that is difficult to invest in, either financially or in learning.
I also like the subsystems of factions and battle starship very easy-to-learn. Character creation is simple, but has a surprising amount of depth with the background and training customizations.
I would say more, but it's really worth your time to at least check Stars without number. I love StarCluster3, a thousand Suns, and much more space and science fiction games, but there must be room for SWN there, too.
