This game is a lot of fun. It has fast game play and allows for a lot of flexibility in character generation while still providing all of the major character architypes. Also the ability to play someone like a ship's captain and still interact in a game while other players are radically different characters is quite unique I think. The skill system is also a lot of fun and sets up enough to have structure, but still has plenty of flexibility to allow to off the wall schemes and antices. Combat is not super crunchy like some other systems and is fast paced and fun. On top of that the artwork is plentiful and beautiful and full color throughout the book.
