Hey all -

In case you haven't seen it around, there's a new hard-scifi TV show called The Expanse on the Syfy channel, and it's awesome. Not only does it have good characters, plot, setting, etc, but the science is really good - it actually just got the Atomic Rockets Seal of Approval: http://www.projectrho.com/public_htm...s--The_Expanse

Can SJGames please cut a deal with whoever it takes to get the rights to making an RPG supplement out of it? Please?? =)

I gather that GURPS was originally going to be the RPG system used in first Fallout games - too bad that didn't happen, right? The negotiators couldn't come to terms. I also understand that GURPS was going to be the RPG system used with the Firefly RPG, but the negotiations for that fell through as well.

I strongly suspect that The Expanse is going to become a thing, and it would be in the best interests of everybody, including SJGames, if the RPG system used by the inevitable Expanse RPG was GURPS. I also strongly suspect that the authors of the books, Daniel Abraham and Ty Franck, would be up for working with SJGames to put out a GURPS book mapping out the whole setting. I bet it would sell lots of copies, and be generally awesome. It's a win-win, right?

Right? =D
