I was going to ask if CCP was ever going to leverage White Wolf's expertise in the RPG market, but a little Googling showed me that there were plans at one time to develop an Eve RPG.
The RPG market right now has very few decent choices for sci-fi, the dark world of Eve seems a perfect fit for White Wolf's writers, and tabletop gamers love the dystopian kind of feel too. Knowing that the project was started, but was later put on the shelf, really feels like a lost opportunity. Are there any plans to revive the project?

Never was impressed with Traveler on the whole. It does have an excellent section for building space ships though; I've stolen that and plopped into other games from time to time.

To carve a successful niche for yourself in EVE you need to be able to out sell, out produce, out fight,-á out run, or out wit your competitors.
If you can do none of the above, your only option is to complain on the forums that somehow you are at a disadvantage using the exact same tool set-áas the rest of the player base. |

Ahh... tabletop RPGs. Good old times. Though LARPing was fun too (I sort of approached army time as LARP - with good success).
Fun thing about roleplaying is that you don't really need rules. All you need is good people with imagination and mutual trust. The rest can be worked out. No dice are needed either, though they do make nice sound on hard surfaces. When GMing I used to roll only for sound and made up the numbers so that things developed interesting. Worked perfectly. |

This.
I have also (back when I was a GM) created "alternative reality" games that were mixed of different systems as well as had true open world platforms for games (including super hero stuff).
It definitely makes for some good meta game when you ST/DM/GM a game and have to come up with scenarios, not to mention it lengthens your view in the world of "consequences"(not the drinking game).

Just wait till you need 40 odd d10s for playing Exalted. ;)
At least it's not Deadlands. That has weird probability curves due to using all the regular dice types for stats in varying numbers. is 4d6 better than 2d12? ;)

That's AD&D, not d20 (which was unleashed on the world in 2000). And AD&D providing the proto-form in 1977 just shows how outmoded the system is. The fact that it's being used to this day is probably on of the main reasons why pretty much all fantasy MMOs are flawed beyond redemption.

You're confusing the D20 character system (D&D 3.0) with d20.
Dice are lowered lettered.
And d20 dice existed before 2000... http://www.scribd.com/doc/49447879/Gamma-World-Rulebook
Proto-form? Old? In the day it was NEW. So new we were playing it at the conventions during the 80s still.

Yes. Old. At this point, it's 36 years old and, while a neat idea at the time, it was deeply, fundamentally flawed (not surprisingly, since it was just a fancier version of a miniature battle system and since someone had to go first and five headlong into all the pitfalls), and has since been superseded by vastly better systems.
Just because it saw some limited revision and finally bloomed putrefied into the d20 System a quarter of decade later doesn't mean it's in any way modern.
