Battlestar Galactica Role Playing Game

A Battlestar Galactica role playing game was released in August 2007 by Margaret Weis Productions at Gen Con.

From the publisher "The Battlestar Galactica Role Playing Game brings the action and drama of the hit television series to the game table. Everything you need to start playing is in this book, including full character creation rules, details on the main characters from the show, and information on spaceships, weapons, and tech. The game rules are easy to learn, emphasizing story, action, and character development. All you need are dice, friends, and your imagination!

The game uses the Cortex System rules created by Jamie Chambers."

This is an extremely useful source book for a Battlestar Galactica RPG. It has a wealth of information about life in the 12 colonies, the military, the various planets, ships and armaments. It includes the rules you need to run the game and some really great plans of the ships in the fleet. There is an introduction by Richard Hatch (Apollo in the original series and Tom Zarek in the more recent series).
