So I got my copy of The After. he book is very high quality in regards to both materials and content. The layout is pleasing, easy to read, and with an almost excitingly colored and style. The art is a style I very much like as well. Its blends solid coloring with a style that feels real and brings the fanciful world to life. The setting is one I definitely enjoy for sure.

All i have is my phone to type on so this will be brief. Modiphius dis for MUTANT CHRONICLES what FFG did for 40k. That is to say they made the story much better. MC 3E is a finely tuned and in depth story and I appreciate the work that the team put in to bring that to light. With that said the 2d20 system is easily one of the worst systems I have been exposed to in more than 20 years of gaming. multitudes of pools to account for, a laundry list of TALENTS and equipment that grant Talent like abilities make every scene an ever present list of page flipping to see what talent or piece of gear can be applied to any particular situation. The difficulty system is needlessly complex; that isnt to say its hard. Its just senseless and frusterating. the scoring mechanic for DAMAGE seems more like an attempt to be unique and less an attempt for anything that makes sense or is game friendly. All in all im torn. The fluff is great an deserves hugh regards but the core mechanic is so abjectly horrible that I rate it a zero if I was allowed to. in the end the fluff happily forces me to give a Two star rating.
