I love science fiction.
I read it, I watch it and I'd like to play it. I haven't had much access to sci-fi games in the past but am really looking forward to some of the new crop that are coming.
In the meantime, below is a list of what I've noticed is coming soon - please add whatever I've missed.
(BTW - I'm into 'hard' sci-fi. I.e. I see fantasy as a separate category, if you're wondering why I haven't included those games here).
Est. 2008. Three years and still going stong!

A web-published 2-player non-collectable Dr. Who card game.
Why I think you might like this game:
1. Twelve Doctors (TD) deals with the Who Universe in a completely different way than all the other games that have tackled the sprawling subject matter. This is not a game about collecting VPs, or completing dusty objectives in museums, or about ferrying mythical objects from one far-flung planet to the next. TD is a game about thwarting the Master and destroying his minions.
2. TD is a fast-paced Who game.
3. The Master player gets to do really cool things: destroy planets, start interstellar wars, mesmerise the Doctor's companions, use death-dealing gizmos, deploy forcefields, and invade Nexus points with all of the coolest villainy from around Muttar's Spiral.
4. The Doctor has all the gadgets and assistants that you would expect from a decent Who-game. Plus he's able to drop temporal marauders into black holes, or give them a slap with Venusian Aikido, or give them a serious headache with the Hand of Omega.
5. All of the iconic villains appear amongst the cards (not every card is a Dalek or Cyberman).
6. A great deal of the Doctor's assistants make an appearance. Not all, but most.
7. The game is drawn from the entire run - not just the current iteration of Who. So you will see the Axos from Seeds of Doom, the Wirrn from Arc in Space, Kroll from The Power of Kroll, etc. I think you get the idea.
8. All of the Doctors can play a part. Even Paul McGann.
9. The game is designed by someone that has read about 50+ Dr. Who Target paperbacks, played and run a huge number of Who adventures using the FASA RPG, and is a MASSIVE Tom Baker fan.

I know the game page lists it as being fantasy but some of the images look far more sci-fi to me than fantasy, so here it is.
