Starship Troopers: The Roleplaying Game is a tabletop role-playing game produced by Mongoose Publishing in 2005. The game is based upon the 1959 book Starship Troopers by Robert A. Heinlein, but it is mostly based on its adaptations, Starship Troopers (1997) and Starship Troopers 2 (2004), and the cartoon series (Roughnecks: Starship Troopers Chronicles); the game itself was published under license of Sony Pictures. While it is impossible to seamlessly merge all three different interpretations, this RPG does not pick one over the other, instead merging the three as best it can.
There are two editions of the game; the original hardcover book, published in 2005; and a softcover pocket edition, published in 2006.

Aliens


In Starship Troopers: The Roleplaying Game, the players fight against the Arachnids and the Skinnies. The Arachnids include the warriors depicted in the novel as well as the diverse sub-species portrayed in the films and TV series. The Skinnies are primarily based on their depiction in the Roughnecks TV series, and are a playable race.




Second Edition


The Starship Troopers Role-Playing Game was in the process of being redone using the rule set from the Traveller Role-Playing Game. It would have featured all previously revealed races plus several new ones (Terrans, Arachnids, Skinnies, the Forth, and the Coven). However Mongoose has since lost the license to Starship Troopers; as such, the game will not be re-released under the new rule set as originally planned.
