It's been a very good gaming week. It didn't stop today. Today I got +trey causey's, Strange Stars.
This is the print version...duh. It's just cool. I'll even let you take a peek inside my copy.
The book is 30-pages, but it's a concise and detailed 30-pages. A lot of setting books are bloated and over written, what Trey has managed is to give you the skeletal workings of a galaxy in a few short pages. There is a surprising amount of content conveyed by the writing, the layout and art. You'll be hard pressed to find a better looking book on top of it. +B. Portly worked some kick ass layout magic and my god, the back cover. If there were awards for best back cover, this one would win.
I love my mailbox.

Friday Feature: Strange Stars
+trey causey has recently released his much anticipated Strange Stars. Its a setting book for space adventures. Right now it is available in PDF at RPGNow and Trey is waiting on the proof for the print copy. I plan on grabbing a hard copy as soon as its available.
I think Strange Stars is amazing. It looks incredible. The artwork and layout are fantastic and pleasing to read. Trey's created a sandbox in space to tromp around in and the way the book is laid out, the information is a joy to read, easy to find to reference and compare.
It's nice to break away from the fantasy genre once in a while. To strap on a laser rifle instead of a longsword. Getting into fights with killer robots instead of orcs. And getting in trouble at the local bar...well, I guess some things don't change across genres.
Seriously consider getting this book. It's got an old time feel with new ideas. I think Trey has done an incredible job. I hope to get a future generation of Boris (my character in his Weird Adventures game) kicking it into hyperdrive, guns blasting while smoke a cheap cigar.
Hell yeah.
