Rating User Summary
3 + 5Ghost_dogTwilight: 2000. The return of a classic
2 + 3Lev LafayetteTwilight: 2000. Twilight 2000 (2nd edition) comes with a tolerably bad set of rules in a tolerably bad setting. Necessary GM intervention in both areas will create a more enjoyable game. The physical product is good, but the layout and organisation is quite poor.

Year Magazine Synopsis
1986Adventurer #3
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. Specifically on Twilight: 2000: "Inexperienced GMs, however, are likely to find this beginning adventure of too little help, because of the lack of detail, or advice on how to flesh it out into a genuine adventure" -- Mykl
2005Signs & Portents #19Jonny tries out Twilight 2000 reprinted by Far Future Enterprises.
1990White Wolf #24Rating 4/5.
1985Imagine #27"the game will probably sink into oblivion within a year."
1986Abyss #38"no way you can play an extended campaign in a world which is this limited and this consistently depressing."

1985White Dwarf #68Rating: 5/10.
1985Space Gamer V1,  #74Rick Swan: "I hope it finds an audience." Greg Porter: "A tragic waste of 18 bucks."
2007Knights of the Dinner Table Magazine #130"...managed to cram into these two small books just about everything you would need to play the game."
1989Dragon #152"...military role-playing with a difference."

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.
