What I particularly like about Clash's approach is his inventiveness and his attempt to avoid obvious clichés, something at which SF in general (with one or two honourable exceptions) notably fails. But then I guess you could say that about RPG products as a whole.<br /><br />The Pundit has been very fair in mentioning things he likes about the book as well as those parts he thinks don't work quite so well, which is just what you want in a review, 'This game is pants' and 'This is awesome sauce!' not being terribly helpful to potential GMs and players trying to decide how to spend their Galactic Credits.<br /><br />I've always been a fan of mega-space stations that are home to a variety of cyberpunky, Mos Eisley-style ne'er-do-wells, including the relatively toned-down Deep Space Nine and Babylon 5. The planet/moon names are terrific too - Friday XIII, very clever - and I love the souped-up animals Clash has peopled (animaled?) this one with - racoon fences and hare mediators ftw!! Also, cat prostitute dance halls. (Btw, for the record, I'm perfectly happy with cat prostitutes, although as a sleek black panther I would of course be a very high-class one). All in all it's a great-sounding gameworld, and I look forward to playing in it one day.catty_bighttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04051428276679009587noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2600947515654238699.post-47922177841675071192017-02-16T03:00:53.274-03:002017-02-16T03:00:53.274-03:00Awesome!
