Yesterday I got my physical copy of Pirates of Drinax and it looks very cool so far. Now, despite having a large amount of books for Mongoose Traveller 1st edition and Cepheus Engine, I'm thinking of running this with a totally different system AND a different setting too. Because I just have to be different!
After re-watching a few episodes of The Mandalorian... what I'm thinking over right now is setting this in the Star Wars universe, on the Outer Rim a few years post-RotJ, with Imperial Remnants on one side, the New Republic on the other, and Drinax (plus a bunch of, as yet, unaligned factions) in-between. Also, I'm not a big fan of The Third Imperium (though I don't hate it or anything).
I've seen discussions about using Pirates with other systems but I haven't heard much talk of people using it in other settings. Has anyone here done this? If you have, what setting was it? Was it your own home-brew? Another licensed setting? Another RPG's setting? Perhaps something even more radical, such as using it in a whole other genre (grimdark fantasy, age of sail, pulp adventure etc.)?
Also, how did it go?
