Hello people, sorry to bother you bit my friends and I are creating a Sci-fi wargame and we are stumped on ideas. It takes place in the milky way and is set in the 25th century. Any help would be most appreciated :-)

Are there aliens?

Humans only?

A "Federation" of aliens versus an Empire of More different Aliens?

There are mostly multiracial factions but a few monoracial ones. The humans are like the Feds with more than 1 species.

Buck Rogers IP tie in!


“Good people are quick to help others in need, without hesitation or requiring proof the need is genuine. The wicked will believe they are fighting for good, but when others are in need they’ll be reluctant to help, withholding compassion until they see proof of that need. And yet Evil is quick to condemn, vilify and attack. For Evil, proof isn’t needed to bring harm, only hatred and a belief in the cause.”

Knowing more about the background is nice because so far we can just produce generic-sounding names. Or funny ones.

Damn it, I want this now. Give me dice-based French Taunting and Silly Walks and rules for fighting in a Cheese shop, and I'd buy this in a heartbeat.

Right so I'm rubbish at game titles but how about this concept for space soldiers for the Milkyway? You just need to design an iconic gun...

I don't recognise that milky way package at all.
Weren't they always blue, white and a bit of red?
