Rating User Summary
5 + 5kafka. This is an excellent adventure involving the disappearance of a reporter and girlfriend and involves a lot of investigation work by the players with ample clues that lead each scene to follow the next with a nice balance of violence and problem solving with the emphasis upon the latter. Call of Cthulhu fans will see a very familiar pattern emerge as well as seasoned Traveller hacks/grognards. Technology is there and readily available but does not overwhelm the scene – for even the technologies of the 30th century are no match to solid instincts and good old legwork. The tone of the adventure moves from a rather grey occurrence (solving a disappearance) into something quite dark and sinister. Action (Shoot & Burn) orientated players might find the pace rather slow but those who want a more cerebral adventure will certainly get their fill without it becoming overly intellectual. Notwithstanding, there will be scenes that will certainly satisfy those gun bunnies desire: “to blow things up real good…” It also manages to give a sense of the heroic without launching players into Superstar status and hence NPCs and even providing for a possibility that they not live to fight another day.
