Part of me wanted to write this for a while. Then I had a design/life/meaningful conversation with Andy H at Gencon, and midway through a point he interrupted himself to say, "Like, I'm sorry Joe... I love Ribbon Drive, but the moment I sit down with my friends to play it, you know I'm going to turn it into a game about dinosaurs and space ships and rocking out. Some people can play a game - or live a life - full of meaning and quiet moments. Me, I need space ships and explosions. I need them." And the earnesty of this sentiment... convinced me to publish my Firefly hack. Because, after all, sometimes you just need to adventure across the galaxy kicking ass. And Firefly is the archetype of how you work that into a character drama about discovering yourself and the people around you under pressure. Or something like that. I'm really excited about the Stranded rule, which I invented while typing. I'm considering testing that in a regular Ribbon Drive game! Yeah, guys, I’m glad you like it.

But add Firefly and I'm in!! Nice job. Great idea, I wasn’t super keen on the original, as I like going on road trips, stories about road trips not so appealing..
