I think ShatterZone could have stood a chance as a WEG setting if marketed properly. I don't really feel it was given the opportunity to blossom under the current WEG ownership. This isn't a criticism of Eric's decisions, but I still think there is alot of potential in this settng that could be taken advantage of by future owners :)

I would agree, but they'd definitly have to polish alot of it off.

The setting was great and worked very well, if you had the time to put into it. That is what I found about the game. The more tmie I put into fleshing out the settings, and certain aspects of the rules, it worked really well.

The players agreed on that.

As far as its future, work would need to be put into it to flesh out the universe and iron out the rules. Once there though, yea it would work.

Yes. Fleshing out things would be important. I also think going through a process of conceptualization might be a good idea in order to market it properly. What is the setting about? Would they focus on the Cyberpunk in Space part of the setting, the Horror related to the Zone, or something else? Possily following the current Warhammer 40K line with one separate game for each approach to the setting (Smugglers, Fleet, Psionicists etc) could be employed.

But these are really just details. The setting has so much potential!

While I dont know much about Shatterzone, I am a fan of Sci Fi and I think that properly redone it would do well.
