An epic contribution to your Starforged game (or any sc-ifi game).
The ideas are well thought out and deep. Great artwork. Accessible and ready to use. Highly recommended.

Ancient Wonders is flat-out cool. The layout is super clean and easy to use, and the way it handles world generation adds great detail. It's structured but still leaves plenty of room for creativity.
The oracles are insanely detailed. Planets, weird anomalies, deep-sea sci-fi adventures, there’s a lot packed in here. Tons of inspiration, tons of variety. On the other hand, this cuts both ways. There’s a lot in here, which is awesome, but it might feel overwhelming at first. It can also be quite a lot of content to generate as written.
Overall, I personally like the added detail and I think this is a solid buy if that's what you're after.

I bought the Hardcover and WOW!!! This is super great work. Awesome in every respect: writing, images, color and content. I will be using this book for every sci-fi adventure here after! Thanks and respect for creating such a masterpiece!

My immediate judgement is that where base SF oracles tend a little to the gritty and hardscrabble, this opens up a galaxy of incredible marvels and - indeed - wonders. Theres lots of little mechanisms, all very consistent with SF and even SI (cursed oracles and ciphers etc). It really does feel (copious art especially) just like SF particularly around precursor exploration. Flicking through the luscious structures pulls to mind stories from sci-fi movies and books, but also science magazines and the beautiful and extraordinary sights from moons of our own solar system. Inspiring.

Just an amazing title and expansion for Starforged.
New options, mega structures, new paths
This book is amazing.
If you want to expand on Starforged get this book. I bought the print version and it does not disappoint.
The amount of effort that went into this book is staggering. Get it right now.
I have box that you have to print and fold to store your cards if you want. My craft skill is like a -1 lol
(oops, one small typo, page 23 of the print version. There is a chart with ranges. Two planets, three planets, four planets, etc. under 3 planets collum, second row, I imagine that should read 11-75, not 1-75.
No big deal to me lol)

Quite pricey, but:
- Rich with evocative art, in line with Starforged style and layout
- Realistic solar system generation, also with simplified, quick rules and tables
- New planet types, very well thought-out
- Just super cool and varied megastructures
- Even cooler megacities and their specificities
Haven't read through the new assets and companions, and moves but I wager they are at least adequate at first glance, it's a high quality book, most of it is agnostic, fitting into high sci-fi settings., and a lot of thought and work went into it.
One drawback for me personally is that it's quite anthropocentric in its depiction of alien life, but that also means it's aligned with Starforged imagery, so might be a total advantage for most.

So this is a short book 31 pages. Consider a couple of large illustration and you have a really short book.
That said, the illustrations are all beautiful, and on that regard the book is a wonder and a marvel, just watching it is a boon.
Now providing the meat, this book covers the oracle section of the space sighting only but does that really well. I would suggest it as a buy, if when you roll and create a space sighting you love to go to visit it, and journal it, and... if you are like me, generate some AI image.

The content on these are pretty fun, and fairly evocative, but the first 35 pages or so are, as far as I can tell, actually just copy-pasted from the Ironsworn rule book. I kept reading expecting something new.
So this is really only a 25 page or so product, but what is here is pretty cool. I would like to see more lists of these.

A light-weight resource packed with gameable material for Ironsworn (and even other games).
I keep my copy with my GM toolkit and have used this while running a D&D game as well as when I was playing some Ironsworn.
Highly recommend.

There was a problem with a very low image quality of the print-at-home pdf files. The publisher fixed the error immediately after being notified. Now we can enjoy the fantastic graphics in all their glory. Stellar user service; keep up the good work!

Love this pack, adds tons of character to your, well, characters.
Allows us to get into the game and not take time trying to figure out how playing this or that race works.
Players love it, GM loves it, everyone loves it.
Worth every penny.
