This. Green waifus invented the genre. Blue waifus are knockoffs.

>>41526857
Green/blue skinned space-babes are an establish enough trope of cheesy science fiction that I felt compelled to include some in my homebrew sf setting. I'm a big fan of old scholocky sciffy in general, so that also helps.

Although I though making alien races that were literally "humans, but different colour" was kind of boring and didn't make much sense, so I made them amphibians with slimy skin and tendrils for hair. Still doesn't really make much biological sense, but at least they aren't just recoloured humans now. Not that I really cared about realistic evolution for my alien races. The same setting also has literal starfish-aliens and a race that looks like space-devils (which is also a dumb reference to shitty old science fiction films, as there are two separate films that got released in ym home country with the name "devils of space").

>>41527261
But blue looks much better, hence why these days blue space-waifus wastly outnumber green ones.

Are you shitting me? Every sci fi movie nowadays tries for realism. Gravity, Elysium, Interstellar, nu-Robocop- everything's gritty and obsessed with realism.

It fucking sucks. I don't even waste my time with hollywood scifi anymore.

>>41527706
Actually, I was referring to two B-movies from the 50s and 60s, that had a different name in English, but when released here were retitled to "devils of space" (in my native language, though). OK, one of the movies wasn't actually shitty; it was "the Invasion of the Body-Snatchers", which is actually pretty good film, as far as old-school SF goes. Can't remember what the other was, though.
The point is that the name sounds actually really silly in my language, so I felt compelled to reference it (though the space-devil race is actually pretty neat. They're pretty much a weird combination of Assyrians, Romans and the more morally questionable parts of the Tau Empire).

Complaining about films belongs in /tv/.

Its actually even worse so both of you can be mad. Its 'realism' style. Its suppose to look and feel gritty without actually having any consistent thought behind it, its just a style filter. So its both not realistic, and not fanciful.

wat

>>41528834
Purple could be endurance.

The sort of nut case that can sunbathe on a world beneath a neutron star only only get a tan, can go for extended space walks with nothing but a bag of air with a straw and only complain that the lack of gravity ruined her hair, the sort of disaster that can repair a fusion reactor whilst its running by hand without special equipment.

>>41528834
>>41528896
Endurance is a lot less interesting than space magic IMO, even though you sell it pretty well.

>>41528779
Oh no, we're not making a Space Babe RPG. That's too low, even for /tg/.

R-right?

>>41528990
I thought magic came under blue territory.

Super endurance could work from a story point of view. It makes the bad ones nightmares but the good ones overly worried about everyone. People break so easily.

>>41528990
>>41528896
I think Strongcute is an acceptable archetype though.

>>41526857
What about space orcs who are always male and only produce more space orcs?
Not with spores, I mean like reverse asari.

>>41526857

You can like stuff like that, but don't pretend it's sci-fi. It's space/future fantasy.

Also I gotta say you're a giant magical-realming pleb if "has to have different coloured wimmins XD" is your criteria for a good setting. Your obsession with it shows by the sad fact that you a) falsely believe it to be a staple and b) think that anything different is going out of its way to subvert it.

>>41529111
Why is it 'low'?

>>41529125
True. I don't know. Psychic powers kind of imply like Asari or that moustache elf comic, whereas space magic makes me think of astronomical space witches or something. Maybe it's a subfaction of the blues.

>>41529170
Definitely, yeah.

>>41529199
I pretty much file all brain powers under space magic because thats what psionics/Q/Charlie X/etc are really.

Would you do it so each CSB was an actual character with stats, or would they just represent stats themselves?

I think that we need to think up flaws to go with the colours also.

Blues are physically weak and prone to depression.

Greens are almost incapable of deception and take everything literally.

Grey are incapable of enjoyment.

Reds are extremely aggressive and confrontational.

Purples are ditzy. Not stupid as such. But no real sense of danger.

Pretty shit opinions you got there.
First, if all you want is wankbait, there are way better places to find it than cheesy scifi
and second, painted humans are bottom tier aliens anyway. Get better taste in spacepussy.

Also I'm sure we have different definitions of "hard sci fi"

>>41529356
If we're collecting big piles of them they should probably have as few stats as possible. That said, they act independently some of the time ("Purple, go outside and fix the plasma conduits") so they kind of need some minimal stats.

>>41529445

Name generation tables should be a thing; all alien names are just syllable clusters

this got harem quest fast

As soon as genetic engineering becomes advanced enough, you can bet rich people are going to go full Transmetropolitan or Hunger Games Capitol, and start changing skin color and other shit.
The future will be full of furries, scalies, blue/red/green/fucking whatever color you want people, and all manner of degenerates.

>>41529491
Yeah but also titles, ranks, etc.

>>41529445
I figured each player would play a different Chromatic Space Babe.

>>41529425
While I mostly share your taste in alien vaginas I do believe technicolor space babes have a place. That place should probably be "genetically modified transhumans," but it's easy to posit that their culture just got isolated and forgot its origins, or something. Space is big, it happens.

>>41529445
I didn't personally picture collecting big piles of them, more just having our small crew entirely made out of CSBs. So you might have five CSBs at a time, and they'd be attached to you (nearly as much as PCs are in normal games). Less "I hired you, Green SB no. 352", more "you freed Ayla from the drug-lord Messer's trafficking rings, and now she'll serve you to the death with all the dirty combat skills and black-market wheeling and dealings she's been forced to pick up to survive".

>I figured each player would play a different Chromatic Space Babe.
This was my first reaction before the spaceship crew thing got posted too which was why spaceship crew version surprised me so hard.

Like if it's about space battles and you have a given number of space babes of each type, it's not really an RPG you can easily play with lots of people.

It definitely seems like more of a board/card game with that setup.

>>41526857
You got a problem with Star Control, buddy?

>>41529764
Nah, I like the idea that they're still Space Babes. They could be the one group that's "above" you, though, as opposed to the rest- who are "below" you.

Or, they could represent the fact that black is the absence of colour, and so be the token lesbians.

>>41529979
Is your only experience of TCGs from Hearthstone?

>>41530014
Yeah, but what does a party of spacebabes actually do? It's easy to steal generic scifi plots for Space Captain Adventure Spaceship Squad. They go to a hat planet and lose their weapons and have to learn a valuable lesson.

>>41530077
I sort of know a little bit about others but in terms of direct experience yes

>>41530102
Huh. You've got some neat ideas for someone who's only played the McDonalds version of CCGs.

Spells would be "orders" or "commands" or something similar. And they could benefit certain space babe compositions over others- for example, "gain one attack per red space babe". This would add further pressure to your drafting.

>>41530081
The same thing? I mean if the crew is spacebabes anyway, that's exactly what's happening. The spacebabe crew is Space Adventure Squad.

>>41527181
Science Fantasy still counts as Science Fiction anon.

>>41530168
In my head, and this may be too complicated, the resources would be Power and Orders. So, the player could activate the laser cannon chair with an order and some power, for example, then play a "spell" (not sure what those would be called) to reverse the polarity and do extra damage or something. The engineering chair, obviously, would be able to generate extra power by debuffing other chairs (at the cost of an order).

>>41530232
That would be ok if I still get to reroute power from one thing to another thing at some point.

While I agree, CSB's are not for sexual fantasies. It's a staple, and using it is showing that you proudly embrace the heritage of the genre.

I'm more into sentient gas clouds/slime molds/potted plant/giant spiders myself, but if there isn't one rubber forehead alien or green seductress it feels like a soulless effort.

I don't know man. I've been listening to X minus One adaptations of 1950's stories from Galaxy and Astounding and quite a lot of them are cynical as fuck. There will come soft rain by Bradbury is one of the most depressing thing I've ever read. Its up there with Johnny Got his Gun.

>>41536882
>getting into magical realm territory
Anon, we're making an RPG about alien space babes. The realm has been breached.

But I do like the idea of creating a Retro Space Opera game and having multi colored space babes in it. You would need a class for a sword carrying Planetary Romance guy, an intergalactic policeman like a Lensman, a space frontiersmen (Not a "space cowboy". Think John Wayne over Han Solo) because there were a lot of "use this western plot but in outer space" stories in Galaxy Science Fiction. Even Star Trek was called a "wagon train to the stars" and had a "frontier settlers get a shipment of wives" episode.

Some sort of "evolved" class. Like a Slan or a kid from "Star, Bright" or Childhood's End.

Any other ideas for classes for Retro Space Opera the RPG?

Any ideas for a more fetishy space babe RPG?

>>41531826
The Greys are super smart.

The Reds are super fast.

>>41536961
>Fight Managers

If you want to crank the fetish gauge up a notch you could have slave owners pitting their collections of CSBs against fight managers or other slave owners.

Wasn't that sort of an episode on Star Trek?

Personally I'd love an RPG where a warrior princess Red could fight against a slave girl Green. Class AND race drama.

Some CSB are from highly competitive polygamous races. They compete to show their strength and earn attention from their husband fight promoter.

>More Classes
I'd like something like a Robert Sheckley class where you can whip out wonder-devices that have a chance of utterly fucking you over.

We could have a Cordwainer Smith Underpeople class to bring in some catgirls and retro-furries.

And an actual cat class. Because Cordwainer Smith.

Questions about CSB Catfights the RPG

Should normal Earth girls be involved? Have them fight back and show all these men-stealing aliens that Terran women can be sexy fighters as well?

How about throwing in robots? Catgirls?

Mechanics wise, maybe robots can be "cheat" options? Gynoids, atleast the really OP ones, aren't normally allowed in CSB fights but you can take a risk and try to smuggle one in. It'll be a nod to all those "robot sportsmen" stories.

Lots of fun scenarios as a fight promoter.

The Princess of the Orange people occupying the Green homeworld is going to fight a submission match against the daughter of the Green freedom fighter/terrorist. You can fix the fight in one of the girls favor, but who do you choose?

A perky Terran girl is kicking ass with the ancient fighting styles of boxing and jujitsu and she wants to pass on the fighting style. Should it be to a fellow Terran or to an alien? Should humanity keep its ace in the hole fighting style to itself or should there be a free flow of martial arts knowledge?

Should some races just be better than others? It could be interesting to have underdog races (could rig fights in their favor when they're on their homeworld and then throw them to the wolves when you're out of there).

>>41537265
Priestess, maid and beach wear are filed under damsel. Space suit is probably trooper (though maybe some beach wear would be filed under trooper too, who knows). Coveralls are actually their own job, so they qualify. Basically outfit is job, not an aesthetic choice.

There's plenty of optimistic stories from that time as well. Partly because the editor of one of the biggest SF magasines was a big fan of HFY and mandated the stories should feature humanity being awesome (this was also partly because before that the market was saturated with shitty War of the Worlds knockoffs, and he wanted to get writes to do something else).

The beginning of the space age in general was a pretty optimistic period, as it seemed we'd get to other planets within a human lifetime, and technology was advancing at amazing rate. While science fiction has a tendency to be reactionary and present problems caused by takign new technology to the extreme, you also had large amount of stories of brave space-explorers exploring new planets and dealing with problems using their ingeniuty.

Reds and Blues have never managed to form stable governments of their own. They lack the temperament for it.

Reds are too fiery tempered and fractious. The moment they build a nation it immediately falls apart, tears itself to pieces from the inside out and often as not civil war.

Blues are too depressed. Its hard to be a ruler when they have to keep sharp objects away from you. If they try to rule anything but other blues they quickly promote one of the locals and abdicate/retire/runaway/are found hanged. They don't want a crown. They just want a hug.

Greys have never founded their own government at all, ever. They rely on others to do that. Usually the Blacks.

Grey power comes from the fact that they, and only they, have the mental aptitudes to make, maintain, repair and operate the Warp-engines. They tried making robots to do it but something about it drives AI insane.

Blacks usually end up in positions of power. They tend to be ambitious and extremely good organizers. They tend to be back-stabby. Unlike the Reds they keep the back-stabbing discreet.

Greens tend to rule themselves. They tend to rule only themselves. They have few planetary governments but build small fortified enclaves on as many worlds as possible.

Greens are all about survival. If they spread themselves far enough they can never be exterminated and there will always be somewhere for reinforcements to come from. It also ensures that they get invited to every war that happens. Its like sport to them.

Purples are too ditzy to do governmenting. They much prefer to fly around on star ships and finding beaches to sunbathe on.

It's not the only good scifi I've seen, but it's way better than [InsertYourFavoriteSeriesHere]!

In all seriousness though, SG1/SGA are the most entertaining SciFi Series I've come across to date.

Out of currently ongoing series, Defiance has been pretty good to fantastic (depending on the season), killjoys has been alright so far, and dark matter seems to be getting pretty interesting as well.

I enjoyed the shit out of Farscape. BSG was alright up until that awful ending. Andromeda was fun.

I've never been a very big Star Trek fan though.

Personally I hate the Kardashians, but only because I think they're retarded and dragging humanity down. Just like most of "reality" tv shows are and the same with modern day news. All of is a cheap attempt to get views so they can squeeze out a bit more advertising money. None of it is programming designed to make people come back and watch it.

That being said, that is not all modern media. I do really enjoy some shows that have come out recently, such as Agents of Shield.

Nothing's being mentioned about /lit/

But I guess you're on /tg/, whining like a cunt about books because it'd get moderated there or something

I should specify I liked the first season.

I don't like Joss Whedon as a person, I think his beliefs are retarded for the most part.

Also, you watch a few episodes of Lizard Lick Towing on "True" t.v. and tell me that shit isn't dragging down humanity.

>>41543269
Nah, I just hate retarded hipsters like you who actually think they're better than everyone else for liking something different.

Also
>He likes moderation
Oh I'm sorry, did someone once say something to you that offended you?
>>41543276
No media can ever possibly drag down anything. We can drag down media, not the other way around. If something's successful and popular, it's because it's what people like- sorry bud, but that's how it works.

>hipsters

You're the one railing against the majority of a genre for a single arbitrary reason

>>41543326
I'm not railing against any part of anything- I'd think OP's a faggot too if I believed he wasn't just being hyperbolic in order to get responses (okay, that's pretty faggoty)- but going the other way and pretending pulpy space opera is somehow inferior is just as disgusting.

Thread is no longer bumping.

I'll actually have some real mini pvp battle game content to post sometime today, though.

Not everything on television is because it's successful or popular. Seriously, some things are just on there for shock value. It's the same thing as clickbait articles online, but applied to television. You get people to view your shit just to bump your ratings. It doesn't matter how shitty your shit is, if it makes someone stare for a few minutes.

Then start a new thread with it.

Please

>>41543396
Yeah, this is my plan. Given how much this one blew up I sort of figured there would be one without me, though.
