It feels familiar. <br /><br />Sometimes the setting curve of scifi gaming is hard for players. It's easy to understand you're playing a fantasy game with elves and wizards and shit, but scifi settings tend to be more varied. I assume your crew is different, given how far removed the Algol stuff is from traditional D&D.
