The Inside Scoop on Gaming

This is a wonderful little product, even if the price is a bit high.

The screen: This is another four-panel deal. The outside has the painting of the Legions surrounded by Abberants in the middle, the Trinity logo on one end, and "Trinity" on the other. Inside is a well-designed screen that puts all of the most-commonly used charts where he'll see them. Combat charts are on the right, and everything else is on the left. It's a keen screen.

The book: The full-color stuff is overflow, but it's good overflow. There's information on the Antartica settlements, and undersea colony information as well. There's info on Trinity-era religion, and how they're commonly-perceived. The notables within the psion orders are a nice touch. In the black-and-white section is the best part. The piracy section is a great bit of info, short as it is, because of the common occurance of piracy in space-faring science fiction. The short adventure is a good pilot episode for any Trinity campaign, even if it's not the "Darkness Revealed" series of published modules.

Bad Stuff: I admit that DP9 spoiled me; no screen/overflow book yet compares to what they've done with this product. I'm not a fan of new toys outside of toybook suppliments, unless it's a plot device of some sort, so that's a mark against it for me. The price, as I said, is a bit high. But if that's all I can find wrong, then it's not that bad. Go ahead and get one when you can; I got mine in the used bin for $8 and it was never opened.

Style: 4 (Classy and well done)
Substance: 3 (Average)
