Only 7 pgs but all of the establishments were unique and I got it free - worth $2 if you are short on ideas

3 star product bumped up to 4 for a freebie, not as good as some of their other products

a great list of unique weapons, originally for a GREAT cause

better than most but animal list is oddly small and a few others could be more creative

VERY GOOD set of lists for an encounter generator. Might have been 4 stars but can't be beat for PWYW

what's not to like? Great outside pic, inside layout with key to understand different sections, works nicely

too generic to tell what this map is supposed to represent

This map looks as much like a hedge maze as an alien jungle

pretty generic and only useful at a very high level over orbit

This game was truly the most fun I've had reading an RPG in..maybe forever? Absolutely hilarious! The advice for running the game is sprinkled with very funny jokes, most of the supernatural disease entries made me smile or laugh. AND, on top of all that the footnotes and research done alternate between humorous and serious references. P.S. As someone indirectly involved in medical coding, the diagnosis system was very well thought out and smartly simplified. It was an absolute joy to read!

It's quite a bit like Microscope but with a timer. This is a good improvement because it does not allow overthinking, analysis paralysis, and less getting stuck on what happens next. It is a quite clever system for creating unique ideas.

My actual rating is 4.5 but it's a much more succinct & streamlined Dungeon World with a little less D&D holding it back. Only negatives I see are: 1) some moves in some character playbooks (aka character classes) still seem broken - like in the Paladin and the Gunslinger. 2) Most of the Make Camp points were cut entirely rather than tweaking them to be more fun 3) I still want carousing

My true score would be 4.5 but rounded up here. The prior reviews r spot on. The system is fine - simple enough - but the setting is incredible! Thoroughly unique, just slightly thought provoking in the tech & how to solve problems in this different world, & while the system does not provoke type of stories, the setting does set expectations

It feels more like a draft but of a pretty decent OSR game.

If you want Apocalypse World literally reskinned for the edges of a fictional Roman Empire, then this is for you. If you want any moves adding to the themes or genre like Sparticus, this will not do much for you. Also, there is a LOT of Latin names for things...which makes sense but for a simple reskin, mostly makes things more complicated and not worth the additional flavor.
