According to Gaming Report, Margaret Weis Productions will release a role playing game based on the popular series Battlestar Galactica.

The game will be set in space and focus on the challenges of survival in the exceedingly trying times.  The game will use the same system as the Serenity game which was produced by the same company.

"When we established our company we made the commitment to produce character- and story-focused role-playing games using the best source material we could find,” Weis said in a press release. "Battlestar Galactica is the kind of science-fiction that we do best, where the drama and characters are more important than the guns and the gadgets. The very survival of the human race is at stake in the series, and exploring the story possibilities in the setting can make for some very exciting games."

The core product is expected to premier in the spring.

KJ's Take:  Not my cup of tea, but the Serenity game was fairly well received so it should be in capable hands.
