Space Station 13

[Timber Wolf]

It's a 2d rpg game, it's run by SomethingAwful, although there are plenty of other servers. Was wondering if any of you guys have heard of it, or played it? It's a really simple game, but complicated at the same time, and it a lot of fun if you play on the right server

Never heard of it and from a quick google search I don't understand what kind of game it is. Please give us some details and maybe a screen shot or two to help it make sense.

It's hard to explain, because each server runs it's own custom version, but the basics are you create a character, choose a job aboard the station, and go about doing your job. But there are other forces at work, there are revoltionaries who will convert members of the crew to kill the heads, or a wizard or traitors that have set objectives to complete, or aliens will attack the station, and you have to survive, a rogue AI, ect. ect. You can go about doing your daily job, or you can bend and break the rules to do something great, or horrible. I'll post more later

Warning for Language: in a sort of mocking way, it sums up the game from the view of a crewmember

Yeah but give me something to compare it to so I can understand what the gameplay is like. It sounds good but lots of stuff does and turns out not so good.

Here's a ten minute tutorial on the game, and it isn't even the full tutorial. I don't really know what to compare it to, so I'll let this kind gentleman show you

I dunno it doesn't look you're doing very much at all. It looks like a old school RPG but I still can't figure out what the point is and what you're supposed to be doing. Is there an end or a goal?

So, it's essentially a sci fi D&D?
