Re: [RPG]: Battlestar Galactica Role Playing Game, reviewed by Evan Waters (4/4)

I just picked this up the other day, and largely agree with Evan. I would list one more major omission, though (or possibly two, depending on how you look at it):

The book states that there are quick reference charts in the appendix for the information most often needed to be referred to during a game. Presumably, this is the same stuff game companies tend to put on GM screens. I thought, no problem, I'll just photocopy them and stick them inside my customizable GM screen. However, turning to the appendix, I found no such charts.

No problem, I thought. Elsewhere in the book it states that supplemental material is available on the game's website (bsg-rpg.com). So I pointed my browser in that direction, only to find nothing on the website but a single graphic with a link to purchase the game online. No supplemental material or additional game information or errata or anything of the sort. Nothing.

I sincerely hope they plan on changing that.

Other than that, looks like a great game, and I look forward to running it, if I can only find someone around here willing to play.
