What is it?

An ultra rules-lite Sci-Fi RPG that is highly modular. Most material is about 2 pages in length. Books provide adventure ideas and new systems to add.

Mechanics

• Skills are associated to a die size and advancement grows a die type
• Resolution is based on a simple 1-6 with 1,2 being failure, 3,4 a success with consequence, and 5+ as success.

What I like

I like that it is really "Just enough" and the additional 2400 books show a lot of neat things you can do.

What I don't like

• Long-term play might be challenging with the way advancement works.

Puzzles and Challenges

• Combat is purely narrative and explicit negotiation between ref and players are essential
• No real economy for the game, and that creates a very different feel
