- Fragged Empire 2e by Wade Fyer is a post-post-apocalyptic sci-fi setting where your people are just now returning to space following a century of hiding during the aftermath of a galactic war. It's a universe that leans heavily into themes of cultural tension and exploration, with a dash of transhumanism, nation-building and a hope for a better future.
You can get it now on DrivethruRPG ( preview.drivethrurpg.com/en/p... ), or just check out the main website for hard copy ( fraggedempire.com/ )

I love that the warrior race recognizes how hard it genetically is for them to be a farmer and has rebuilt there society to see it as the highest calling, instead of "THE ARMY NEEDS YOU!" Type stuff.
"my war internal, my army is one, my warrior heart rages but my general mind discipline.
My battle maps are of fields, my kill counts are heads of crop, my guard vigilant against vermin, my bounty stocks the stores.
I am a Patriot
I am a Farmer
And my family my people are hungry."
So you're telling me this RPG allows you to play as capitalism, "christian/buddhist" furries, a gentle giant warrior race, elves with actual connection to their ancestors, a race of online game trash talkers, and shapesifting bionicles in a sci-fi fantasy setting? Sign me the FUCK UP!!!
Thanks so much for the review of my game, I greatly appreciate it :D
I especially enjoyed the sass with explaining the cultures.
Are your writers ok?
@@mynameisd2849 ha ha, its mostly just me... and I'm ok :D
(Though I do have a super talented friend who helps me with the short stories).
This is one of the best underrated sci-fi RPGs to get into. It's a shame because it's way better than the most popular RPGs we have been getting.
Another day, another cool-ass TTRPG I'll never play because ther's no one to play with. I too wish to be a bewildered bioweapon given sentience.
I'd play 👋
This seems fun
I also want to add another upside of the system:
Setting agnostic. Meaning it can be very easily adapted to any other vaguely sci-fi setting. There is even a guide on how to do balanced homebrew in the rulebook.
So want to play Mass Effect? Tweak races to fit the new setting, re-name gravi-manipulation to biotics and you are good to go, more or less.
Originally subbed for lancer, but I also do enjoy these spotlights on other RPGs, some I might've never heard of. Excelent work
Zhou mama so hungry, she ate a whole city all by herself.
GEEZ this looks STACKED. Can't wait to check this one out in earnest.
I'm playing a Legion soldier with a heavy machinegun.
The other three of my group are a Small Kaltoran psychic, a Big Nephilim Bio-Technician/Pilot, and a Corpo Techie.
Would love more videos about this game going over each race a bit closer and their unique talents. Sort of like your flying circus videos
Complicated as it is, this one sounds like a really cool setting, and a potentially interesting game.
Heyyyy Starcon II soundtrack.
Still stuck in my mind like 30+ years later.
Gah! I want it! You always do this man, make something see really cool right when I gotta tighten my budget lol. But seriously love your reviews, keep em comming.
The Legion reminds me of Cravers, kinda more aware Cravers, ones that are willing to change and aknowledge that fighting against their own genes to sustanably survive is more honourable and hard than just giving in and killing everything.
Looks like the rules boomerang is coming back towards the crunch side of the spectrum with this one. Complexity can be fun!
Don't listen to anybody complaining about 2e D&D, they liked 3e (which is just as complex but hid it better).
This isn't D&D
@@11dragonkid11 I know. Just making a joke about how D&D2e is infamous for being complicated.
For reference, chances of at least 12 on 3d6 is 37%, and 16% for a 14. Unless the party has pretty consistent positive modifiers, that does seem pretty brutal.
That's what trained skills and attributes and gears are for, yes. This can also be further increased with workshop and traits, so that's one way to improve your roll chance.
It's not TOO hard to start with a +5 on one skill. My character has +4 as highest (ship doesn't have an Electronics Workshop... yet...), and several +3s.
There are too many cool RPGs for me to try. Thank you for cursing me with this knowledge... D:
Thanks for the video! This look really interesting.
This is probably my favorite Sci-fi setting within more "recent" TTrpgs. Eagerly awaiting Fragged Nexus.
"Post-human post-apocalypse scifi TTRPG about making your future out of the ruins of the past and efforts of the present"
getting big time Numenera vibes from that tagline, wow.
Numenera is so underrated, but it is my favourite system. Simple, theatre of the mind, random enough. It even created a joke in my group, that if noone wants to play anything else, we go numenera
We you got to the part about the legion you sold me the whole setting.
Actually playing this right now, our second session was yesterday! Really liking it so far, and having a BLAST as a Twi-Far!
Which reminds me, you didn't mention that Twi-Far get anime blasts/kamehameha!
good intro music!!
I know that Star Control 2 music for the intro! Excellent choice! And more references too!
Zhou mamma's so big she ate planets!
Of all the things I expected to come out of a new sci fi ttrpg neo nazi furries is not one of them. Still interesting system though
Someone can recomend a sci-fi dune's vibe? Like space aristocrats, post-humanism e etc?
I only played it once but I think Fading Suns fits the theme pretty well
Burning Empires bro.
I want this game, and looked to purchase it three-quarters of the way through this review.
However, for a physical copy of the 204-page core book, after shipping, I'm out $70.
Then the setting guide, pretty much indispensable given the writing , same page count. Another $70?
I usually have no problem splurging big-time for bad-ass RPG books, but these numbers gave me pause.
For both of the PDFs, 408-electronic-page count, $45... offered along with the books? I'd be surprised if not, but I can't find out.
I'm old-school, I like stuff I can hold... yeah, I'll have to sadly pass for now. Looks like a great game that I can't afford to play.
