Fading Suns
''Fading Suns'' is a science fiction space opera role-playing game published by Holistic Design. The setting was also used for a PC game (''Emperor of the Fading Suns''), a live action role-playing game (''Passion Play''), and for a space combat miniature game (''Noble Armada'').
==History==
After the computer game ''Machiavelli the Prince'', Holistic Design decided to do something new - a space strategy computer game, which would eventually become ''Emperor of the Fading Suns'' (1996). Holistic brought on two experienced world designers, Andrew Greenberg and Bill Bridges, to create a cohesive and interesting universe for the game, which would also be used as the basis for a tabletop role-playing game to be released simultaneously.〔 Greenberg and Bridges had helped define the style of White Wolf Publishing's World of Darkness and, according to Shannon Appelcline, people noticed this game's similarity to the "White Wolf style".〔 Appelcline comments further: "Fading Suns is unique mainly for its distinctive setting. It is a hard science-fiction game, but much of the universe has fallen back to Medieval technology: noble houses, guilds and a monolithic church control most of the power in the universe. Many people compare the universe to that of Frank Herbert's ''Dune'', though Bridges points to Gene Wolfe's ''The Book of the New Sun'', Isaac Asimov's ''Foundation'' and others as his inspiration."〔 Over the next few years ''Fading Suns'' was supported extensively with supplements and for a time the line did well.〔 Holistic released the table-top miniatures game ''Noble Armada'' (1998) – co-designed by Ken Lightner and Chris Wiese – a spaceship combat game compatible with ''Fading Suns''.〔 ''Passion Play'' (1999) was a LARP for ''Fading Suns''.〔 Holistic printed a d20 version of ''Fading Suns'' (2001), and then dual-statted later ''Fading Suns'' supplements to use both d20 and their own "Victory Point System".〔 Over the next few years Holistic announced a third edition of ''Fading Suns'' as well as new games called variously ''Diaspora'', ''Dystopia, Inc,'' and ''Sathranet'', which would have been designed using d20 Modern and would have looked into different periods in ''Fading Suns' '' history. However, none of these products were released.〔 In 2007 Holistic Design licensed ''Fading Suns'' to RedBrick Limited.,〔 and in 2012 the license passed to FASA Games, Inc which released a revised edition of ''Fading Suns'' later that year. In 2014 FASA Games announced they would be releasing a new version of ''Noble Armada''.
