DESCRIPTION:
A Triumph of Science Fiction Roleplaying [A quick forward: Though I do own the game, the version I'm reviewing happens to be the PDF version, rather than the dead-tree edition. I'm working on the supposition that if anything changes between the two, it'll only be for the better, as the lag time will give the publishers a chance to correct. J. Nash said A terriffic game.

Physically this book is very nice with my only gripe being the paper weight seems a little on the thin side. The illustrations ar. Great game. Great value. Medium quality construction.

Players may even find themselves stepping through a Pandora Gate, a wormhole to distant stars and the alien secrets beyond…. In this harsh setting, the players participate in a cross-faction conspiracy called Firewall that seeks to protect transhumanity from threats both internal and external. • A focused set of psi rules enables some characters to enhance their cognitive abilities.. It’s fast and simple; streamlined so players can dive into the world and action without being burdened by complex rules. Along the way, they may find themselves hunting for prized technology in a gutted habitat falling from orbit, risking the hellish landscapes of a ruined earth, or following the trail of a terrorist through militarized stations and isolationist habitats. • Characters are skill-based, with no classes, so players can customize their team roles and specialize in fields of their choosing. Humanity is enhanced and improved, but also battered and bitterly divided. Technology allows the re-shaping of bodies and minds, but also creates opportunities for oppression and puts the capability for mass destruction in the hands of everyone.
