I'm really curious to know how many people are interested in Science Fiction/Space Adventure Modules. I'm writing one right now and I want to know how many people are interested in picking it up.

If it can be fit into any sci-fi campaign with general ease, then I would pick it up.
Currently, I have a traveller game and a transhuman space game. Rules set usually doesn't matter to me as I run rules loose and can adapt a d20 adventure easily to whatever game system I'm using.
the most important thing is a damn good adventure.

Yum- Im always looking for decent scifi adventures or sourcebooks (I've been cannibalizing Space master Modules for GURPS Traveller for a while now).
If we can get something that can be dropped into an existing setting as well as being able to stand on its own, that'd be great.
You had me at "Who wants some..."
Some "dark space adventure" sounds mighty fine.
I’d potentially be interested, correct spelling or no… although I’d probably look for something that I could adapt to StarDrive or the Serenity game I’m thinking of starting.
Can you drop any spoilers as to what sort of setting / genre of space sci-fi you’re going for?
Thanks for the spelling heads-up Moth! :-)
Think of the adventure as a dash of Event Horizon and pinch of Pitch Black/Chronicles of Riddick, oh and throw Hoth in there too. How does that sound?
Sure would.
I would! That said, it would be a good thing if it either followed d20 Modern, or was rather simple to run system-free. =)
ME!!!! Me Me Me!!! ~jumps up and down~ Me!

I can do that. I'm very excited about this project. I poured a lot of my love into it. The outline I dreamed up is f@$!ing insane, and so far I'm very happy with how the manuscript is shaping up. I'll drop more spoilers in the future, and I definitely want to know how many of you mighty Paizonians are interested, so keep the responses coming! Thanks everyone!!!

As an avid gamer of all types, from back in the original black boxed Traveller system, thru Gamma World, Top Secret, D20 Modern/Future, and a few others, I would love it.
As a few others have said, would be nice if it converts nicely between different systems, or is the generic adventure, with plug and play critter/baddies so that us GM's can just run it in the adventure we want to.

Easy enough. I'm all over it gents (and ladies if any chimed in, oh gender neutral usernames, oh me oh my!).
Any one else want some?
As a huge SciFi nerd, I would definitely check it out.
Especially after Hook Mountain.
Mr. Logue, you are one seriously twisted individual. And I like it.
Deliverance in space - no one can hear you scream like a piggy. Ah yeah.
Heh!
The adventure I'm writing is very dark. Not as sick-f!%@ as HMM, but very dark and with lot edge to it. It's gritty. Star Trek happy-nice it ain't.

Excellent! There's no shortage of Space Settings, but Adventures are very thin on the ground- I like the idea of it being a system-lite plug and play adventure (I always had a soft spot for the ICE adventures that gave a basic conversion chart so one could ball park the values for different systems).
Anyone play Bulldogs!, it's an excellent D20 Space Advenure setting and game.
"At the Mountains of Madness" meets "Ice" (Mulder: 'We are not who we are!") meets "The Thing" meets the crew of the 'Nostromo' meets the monster beneath Europa's ocean in Clarke's 2061...
Wow, are you reading my outline? THIEF!!! :-)

Given your description, I'd be interested. What campaign setting are you basing this in? d20 Future? Star Wars?
I am always up for sci-fi. I have played/ran everything from Traveller (multiple versions) to Gamma World (multiple versions) and more.
My next campaign (after my d20 modern/dark*matter game ends) will probably be sci-fi. I have been wanting a good setting/adventure to build off of for a while now.

I would be very interested to see what kind of SciFi adventure digs its way out of your brain and attacks unsuspecting GMs.
One of the things that my regular, Eberron, game group does is to run secondary games during the second half of our Saturday Game Days. Right now they are crawling through the 1st edition Tomb of Horrors, with 1st edition characters. Two of the players are first time 1st-ers, and it's been fun so far. Though, I have to admit that I've made a couple of mistakes so far -- like using d10s for initiative instead of d6s.
Damn that decade of 2nd edition!
And reading through the rules about weapon speed factors has left more questions than answers.

No problem - sorry to be a smart-ass about it ;-)
Pitch Black = awesomeness
The Empire Strikes Back = awesomeness
Event Horizon was good, except for certain disturbing images that kept popping unbidden into my mind at the worst moments for weeks afterwards ...
But all up, sounds good!

"OK, so it's nighttime and you're standing over Hoth's hellmouth..."
YAY!!!

Totally off topic, but...
I miss Weapon Speed Factors. I've almost houseruled them into some of our 3.x campaigns, but never got around to doing it. If they added them back in 4th, that'd make me happy. Although it did add yet more variables...
I'll say this. I didn't know much about your work until Hook Mountain, but having read that--I'd totally buy a sci-fi product by you. I love the idea of it being done in D20 Future. That's not a must for me, but it kicks my interest up a good 20% just that alone.
One other request. Have setting notes with it, so those of us (like me) who aren't so much into modules can at least have a good few pages of setting material so we can do our own thing. A nice mini gazeteer sidebar with different regions of space and maybe a Dragon Darksun style minislugger of races and classes and a page of setting intro would be all I'd need--just like three pages at the front or back.
That said, I would love the book to be half campaign setting, but I'm pretty sure that would kill everyone else who isn't me. Just give me what lovin' you can!
Sign me up!
Mr. Logue, your genius spills even into space, where it will have no limits! Yes, my children, soon The Logue will encompass ALL MATTER!! UWAHHAHAHAHAHAH....UWWWAAAHHAHAHAHA!
But besides that, you know what I would love? Well, I won't make you guess: referencing the thread about the Pathfinder Hardcover Erik Mona mentioned commisioning a "Journey to the Red Planet" type adventure. I want you to write that...and I want you to write that now.
DO IT!

The ingridients sound very interesting, but I only DM d20 fantasy so far. So there should be a connection (be it a portal, be it spelljammerlike ...) to any standard fantasy campaign (e.g. Pathfinder Chronicles). Didn't some of the original D&D modules successfully blend fantasy and sf? (party entering a "dungeon" just to finally realize that they entered a crash-landed u.f.o. ...
I am not into pure sf, though.
Cheers,
Günther
So far the list of references sound freakin' awesome. I would go exactly this way with it and you'll have happy fanboys/girls galore.
"At the Mountains of Madness"
"Ice"
"The Thing"
the crew of the 'Nostromo'
Pitch Black
Hoth from Empire Strikes Back
Event Horizon
...monster beneath Europa's ocean in Clarke's 2061 (okay so I don't know what this is, but you can't go wrong with "monster beneath Europa's ocean"!)
By the way, speaking of excellent sci-fi/horror games have you ever heard anything about Vor: The Maelstrom? It was released as a minis game (and as such it was okay but nothing stellar--sorry bad pun). But as a setting...wow, there has never been another game that's touched it. Basically planets get sucked into this roving Ravenloft region of space surrounding a (some say sentient) black hole called the Maw. There's no getting out. While some entry vectors give a slowly decaying, almost stable orbit and others plummet nearly straight into the deathzone--others come in on top of other worlds, fusing together into weird hybrid planets. Of course, the planets with the nice stable orbits are hotly desired real estate, which leads to planetary invasions and mass genocide over natural resources. Oh, and did I mention some of the creatures that dwell in the Maelstrom are not nice? Like they make the Tyranids look like Mr. Rogers? Wow. I love that setting.

I think it looks cool; I don't know because (in a vacuum badumpump) I'd be hard pressed to find somebody to game it with; I LOVES me some sci fi, but nobody else seems to, as far as I can tell, except Battletech. Don't use me for market research, I could be wrong...
Q: does Bulldog have d20ish low and/or zero g combat rules? I'd like some of them for a Reese's Peanut Butter cup I'd like to homebrew one day with....Dungeon's Spelljammer rules, Skull and Bones' ship rules, and....something else I won't divulge. Monte Cook says we all need our secrets.

Honestly, Sensai, I don't think I'd go for this. I prefer my sci-fi a little shinier than I suspect you're going for.
While you and your compatriots have shown me new levels of evocative settings in my fantasy games, those aren't the kind of images I'd want to introduce into my space opera.

Hey, i would love it, i have been hoping for some future/modern ogl modules from paizo.
i would definatly pick it up.
Before I started visiting the Paizo boards I never paid any attention to who wrote what as far as my adventures went. But now that it seems so easy to interact with the writers and get more info directly from them I have been keeping a close eye who writes what.
That said, yes I am very interested to see what the infamous Nicolas Logue does with a sci fi setting.
I may not be able to run it for years but I definitely want to read it.
Dude, I am so all over this.
Could it be another Expedition to the Barrier Peaks type module? That'd be freakin' sweet.

Hell's yeh!
What does HMM stands for?
But what I really want is a sci-fi/horror adventure path. Call of Cthulhu meets Aliens. Beyond the Mountains of Madness meets Event Horizon. The players are the crew of a space marine assault transport sent to check out a remote colony that has gone dark. That sort of action.
I'd totally back up the desire for a good creepy space marine/Event Horizon/Cthuhlu thing!
Though for our group's purposes I think a nice tight adventure with enough setting details to spin the thing into a whole mini campaign setting (a la those awesome microsettings they used to publish in Polyhedron way back in the day--Iron Lords of Jupiter!!)
But yeah, I'm pretty excited to see whatever comes of this. Looks like cool stuff. Let us know as details become available. I'm totally there.

Hey, Nick.
Are you looking to offer this to a publisher, or are you following Wolfgang's Open Design module, and offering a PDF directly to GM's?
As long as it has game stats for the Amazing Engine / Masterbook / Transhuman Space / Serenity hybrid I run, we're good.
Or, I guess, OGL would be ... okay, too.

Oh yeah! Me too. Except I use TORG, so just use that.
