[Garrett Henke]

One of the greats, the original Trinity RPG from 1998 was truly an extraordinary work from White Wolf. The color section, told from an in-setting perspective, is some of the best and immersive RPG writing of all time. A new edition is on the edge of release (the PDF is already out for Kickstarter backers) but I suspect nothing will come close to the original.

[Francisco Becerra]

Pure SF. Pure adventure. Intrigue, space exploration, wild gadgets, powerful threats... This game has everything of good SF. It's not very deep, its history has a lot of obvious plotholes, maybe too World of Darkness meet high futuristic adventure, but overall is a fantastic experience.

[Cthulhu]

Good, solid RPG.
1st version of the rules, before the change to d20.
1st use of the rules [that I know of, in 1998:] that underpinned White Wolf's New World of Darkness [and strikingly similar to what Shadowrun v4 uses - Hmmm:].
