Reviews

[Little Timmy · Rating 2 out of 5]

Well I had hoped the source book for this game was a better read than the main core rulebook. Sadly I was mistaken. Like the core rulebook, to me, this is a poorly laid out and organized book. Interesting ideas and characters are the only reason I kept reading. Not a well planned out book. Not recommended

[Garrett Henke · Rating 2 out of 5]

I sort of feel bad giving this book two stars. The reality is that it has hardly any mechanics and the art work is completely abysmal. That being said, the writing is excellent like pretty much everything from the Aeon line. It really does help to briefly explore several locations within the Aberrant world and provides a small look at super science. In general though the book does not provide much in the way of helpful information. It’s almost like a book of cut setting material.
