Episode 29: Star Trek 2d20 v. Space 1999 2d20

About this episode

The hosts discuss their experiences with Star Trek 2d20 and debate the merits of Space 1999 2d20.

In this episode of Analytic Dice we play absolutely no calls! So, instead we talk about our experiences with Star Trek 2d20 and I try to convince Gabe that Space 1999 2d20 is the better 2d20 game. Analytic Dice is a monthly podcast in which we, Kevin and Gabe, analyze a tabletop roleplaying game system or setting. Before recording each episode we will have played the specific role-playing game or setting under discussion. While there is no perfect system or setting, people do have preferences, and this podcast will explore our actual play experiences with different mechanics, revealing the great, the good, and our opinion on the pain points inherent in each system or setting adaptation.
