Shall We Play a Game?

So, what are you going to do with your Farscape hiatus? Some of us have no been so baffled as to how to spend free time since the summer between junior and senior high school. Here are some Farscape-themed amusements, just for starters.

Games

Info on the Farscape Roleplaying Game by Alderac Entertainment Group:
http://www.alderac.com
http://www.kradfanclub.com
UPDATED INFO! The core Farsape RPG book is due to be realeased for retail sale on 8/28/2002. The book includes a Farscape story by KRAD (check out the books section on the main page), a really cool bonus. Good thinking, guys! As with any role-playing game, whether or not the game shines or stinks depends on the imagination of the players. What are you doing Friday night? Invite friends over and start and RPG night! The book retails at about $40 USD. (Thanks to Terri at www.kradfanclub.com for the update and links!)

How about a computer game? The Simon & Schuster game dropped by Red Lemon is actually making it to the shelves. Check out the game, demo and screen shots here: http://www.farscapegame.com/ and here: http://gamespot.com/gamespot/filters/pro... and here: http://www.bluesnews.com/files/demos/fsd...

Reportedly, typing "PK" in the "new game" field on the main menu transforms Crichton from an astronaut into . . . ha ha, you thought I was going to tell you! You watch the show, so you know he show up as anything from a PK officer to John Quixote to a lovely mama in full drag. Hot-cha-cha!

For those who like to live dangerously, there are the ever popular drinking games. You know, take a drink whenever Crichton [fill in the blank]? Most of them are pretty old. Warning: I have not beta tested any of these games -- get toasted at your own risk!

Need a laugh? Need advice? Need to look at some cute photos of animal companions? Check out Unohoo's Shorts, home of Dear Harvey, Tales From Erp, Seussin' Farscape, The Adventures of pitdog and PKAT in the Uncharted Territories, Chevy Crais' Weekend Update, fan fiction, and a pet gallery featuring a special photo from Ginny Hey. Personally...I can't make it through the week without the wisdom of Dear Harvey. Can you?

This is a Flash parody of Space Ghost (imagine parodying that!) called "Scape Ghost.
