I'm not involved in the Beta test of this game, so I though I would ask my question here. What setting does Harp SF use? SpaceMaster 2? Spacemaster FRP? Something entirely new?
The answer to this question will probably determine whether or not I buy the product.
It has its own setting, namely "Tintamar", but the only impact this has on the rules is to provide a source of example aliens, example training packages, example tech, etc. You can quite cheerfully use HARP SF without Tintamar and replace with a setting of your choice. Alpha playtesters have used it to run Firefly for instance, Thom threatens to use it for Starship Troopers, etc.
Best wishes,
Nicholas
