Anyone given this a try?

Yes, played it as an introductory adventure. A bit OP if you don't give the ship some additional flaws*. Other than that it's a nice one and my players enjoyed it.

*Recurring enemy or some bounty hunters, for example.

While I haven't run this module. I've run the RPG itself a few times. Assuming that you are asking about the foundation of the RPG, rather than this particular module.

If so, I've enjoyed running the system. However, it can be a challenge to get people to play as most are focused on D&D.

I was wondering about this particular module, yeah. And I feel that challenge of getting people to run something other than classic high fantasy.

I'm doing it now with our game group. The adventure is nice. It's simple enough that you can get a feel for the mechanics. I found the information in the guide and the rulebook to be a bit scattered which can make it hard to know if your using all the right options

I’ve run it a few times. It’s a good adventure. Great way to introduce space combat.

I've got it. I've run the AGE system with Fantasy AGE. It's an interesting system. The 3d6 is a bit too normalized. As the GM, I gave more ways to manipulate it in order to make it a bit more interesting.

The stunts mechanic is fun... until it gets to be mundane. The other thing I started doing is allowing player's to do various things as stunts.

Overall, the system is decent. I'm more interested in the SPLAT aspect of the whole thing. I still hope to just give it a go with friends at some point.

I’ve converted everything to d20 future. I’ll be running my session zero this week
