For there are many great things inside like a phenomenal tasting sandwich in which the bread/buns are excellent but the filler sometimes leaves something to be desired. So, this issue is a little heavy on Trail of Cthulhu (even if it is not mentioned by name) rather BRP but if you do not mind doing the legwork you will find many hidden gems here but not quite up to the usual Pagan standards.

It shows the resilience and strength of Gypsy Knight Games efforts that this is not some generic universe but a fully realized and realistic that is worthy to bear the name of Traveller. I certainly look forward to seeing how this ATU evolves and changes as Gypsy Knight Games has provided the template for others to create their own adventures. Read More

Even if you are not a fan of the StarCluster 3 rules, the setting is beautifully unique and its sandbox style is easily translatable. Many of the design tables for Skylands, ships and birds are system independent already, so there is no real lose of fidelity.Not to mention, birds. Large birds as mounts. Read More
