Re: [RPG]: Starblazer Adventures, reviewed by Mike Fischer (5/5)
Say, did anyone mention that Zorcerer of Zo is based on the PDQ system, not on Fate?
Kidding, kidding.
I, for one, enjoyed your review. I admit I have most of the same questions about the print product that R00kie has (quality of binding, etc.).
600+ pages is a lot, but you need to consider that a) there are a crap-ton of B&W illustrations throughout the book, some which take up more space than the rules on that page, including approx. 8 - 10 pages of the Starblazer comic book and full-page illustrations for each chapter break; b) there are 32 chapters, not including the appendices...THIRTY-TWO!!! of them; and c) there are roughly 8 - 10 pages of comic book reviews/summaries in the appendix. I used Acrobat to edit down the PDF and it only brought it down to a 575 page, 49.5 MB file!
The book (dead tree version) has just moved from my "maybe" RPG queue to a "must have" queue.
