Reviews

[Chris Philbrook · Rating 5 out of 5]

Easily one of my top 5 game settings. I mean, it mixes everything that's amazing about imagination, and gives you a multitude of ways to implement it. A clever GM could have ANY game occur in this game, and yet somehow, this game maintains a strong sense of identity.

Pure genius in my opinion. A must read for fans of dystopian science fiction, or magic, or role playing.

Science-Fantasy is my genre of choice, & it is the idiom my home RPG campaign is in. It's also run on a homebrew World of Darkness engine...so a Science-Fantasy RPG made by White Wolf ex-pats was right up my alley. I like this game as a thing to compare my own campaigns against: I'm a little less space opera, but we share a lot of roots. --MK
