7 / 10BigJackBrassThe Revised Edition has roleplaying rules taken from the Chaosium d100 system, but it's still a very mechanical game. A good group can make something wonderful from this, but it's showing its age badly.
3 / 10Simple ManBy today's standards, a very flawed game.

Rating User Summary
3 + 2Lev LafayetteTM 1-1: The Morrow Project. Physically, not exactly the world's greatest product and with an overemphasis on combat in a game system that reflects the quirks of the period. But a very imaginative background and narrative situation provides excellent opportunities for adventure.

Year Magazine Synopsis
1985Game News #10A cross-comparison of post-apocalyptic RPGs, covering the nature of the holocaust, the types of characters, adventure possibilities, and the game mechanics. "The Morrow Project's rules make sense, and though the combat and damage systems are more involved than many RPGs, the slowness of play is offset by greater realism...". -- Mykl

Ratings Explanation

The following components make up a rating:

Ratings. The ratings that users enter into this index are each averaged into the final rating with a weight of between 0 and 4, with weight based on trust algorithms.

Reviews. Each review is averaged into the final rating with a weight of 8. Sometimes reviews can skew high, but they also display fan interest (or disdain) in a product.

Content. The average rating of each content--before its own bayesian weight is inserted--is averaged into the final rating. The weight of a content is equal to its own weight divided by the number of contents, and divided again if it only appears in a fraction of editions.

Bayesian Weight. A rating of 5.00 is inserted into the final rating with a weight of 35. This is an arbitrary weighting of the average rating that keeps things toward the center until they're better rated.
