Thanks so much for the detailed overview, I'm glad you like it! And yes, my goal from the beginning was to make not only a cool RPG, but a sci-fi toolbox, since there aren't that many around (or weren't, 3 years ago when I wrote this, now there are a few available). As for the spine text, that's the continental Europe way of doing it, haha (this was printed in Lithuania, the same printer that Modiphius uses, actually).
I thought "this reminds me of Pohl's Gateway SF novel" (which won the Hugo in the 1970's) - found an interview that said that's where the designer drew some inspiration
@@Lo-Fi_Gaming_ Check out the Wikipedia article on it en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gateway_(novel) - I enjoyed it and it won a lot of awards when it came out.

I’d say job well done! I was reading through the rules last night in more detail and I’m really looking forward to trying this out as soon as I can
It's a beautiful book that I think can also slot into a lot of other SF games just because of the idea density - Eclipse Phase / Alien / Expanse
Yeah, that was my take away as well. There’s a lot of broader value, for sure

@@OrinThomas I’m not familiar with that novel - I’ll take a look if you recommend it
