This adds amazing detail to your encounters to really help immerse you in the story, and it does with very little extra effort. If you love entity and want to dive into it even more, highly recommend this expansion.

Wow! This game is amazing! It sits somewhere between a journaling game (which I can’t stand) and procedurally generated RPG lite. It is story telling but with a tad resource management. Upgrading your suit and deciding what structures to build is a lot of fun. The fact that any structure you build remains if you die, so the next AI has it a little easier than the first, is very thematic and a neat way to keep the feeling of progression. I am buying the expansion for this because I love the idea of adding more flair to the encounters and then adding my own. I can see this being a perfect base for a no man’s sky hack. Gather resources, fix your ship, fly to another planet, etc. This is pure genius!

It’s an interesting system. Very unique in mechanics. But there are a fair amount of typos that make certain parts hard to understand. Also, I’ve run into an issue where I am having trouble finding information. On page 6, under Endgame, it says to “go to the Epilog part and read it.” I don’t see an epilog part anywhere in the book. Am I missing something?

I love this, my one complaint is there isn't a printer friendly version. there's some pages where's it's mostly black. Not only does it use up ink, but also it's really hard for me to read. It's much easier for me to have a physical version to read but not like this.

Absolutely amazing! Oracle tables are my favourite medium for me to grow my own worlds and I don't just adore the amount of variety in these works but I often apply ideas from this into many other games I play. One thing I did notice, not only in the download but also on the page itself that Technopathy as a power for alien lifeforms is mentioned twice despite there being no repeats anywhere else in the entire document. Makes me wonder what other idea you had even if it was an intended repetition.

Great game) I translate this game to russian, but i dont find author's email. If you would like to see my translate or you have an another question - send me email, please - chipsfirst777@gmail.com

As others have pointed out, the sequencing of the rulebook could be much better, following the stages of the game:

Character creation Mission Preparation Heist

This is not a complex game in terms of weight, takes around 1/2 hour to setup and play one heist, and it offers lots of interesting tactical choices with minimum overhead. I've never played Yahtzee before, so the dice system is new to me and I love it - there's constant push-your-luck but you are never out of options - there's always something interesting to do on every turn. Controlling the enemies is not overwhelming and while at first I thought that it would be a bit too simplistic, it actually creates a puzzle where you weigh your chances of success on the dice versus the most likely actions that your enemies may take. Overall an excellent design that will require some back and forth in the rule book in the first 2-3 playthroughs.

Fantastic game!! I love the tension it builds as you make your way through the various heists. I'm likely going to pick up this author's other games as well. Keep up the great work!

I just played for the first time and survived the lobby and I had a blast. The preparation part alone made me write a whole page about how my character went in this little missions before the big job. The mechanics made me feel that every choice I made was important and the dice were mostly a resource and not a destiny set for me to deal with. Great game and I highly recommend you to try it out.

As with all the previous titles 100% satisfied with my purchase. Every game better than the last one! Cant recommend enough ;)

Entity deserves 5 stars. It is a great solo game for that feeling of exploring an alien planet and trying to survive, where things may not make sense. The tables would probably be useful for Starforged and other scifi solo games as well.

I completed a review and bit of narrative fiction based on my solo Entity game and posted it here: https://nightmarethoughts6.blogspot.com/2024/04/entity-after-action-report-and-review.html

5 stars. I'm not a fan of sci fi, but I've recently been taken by a hunger for it. And here's the problem. Because I didn't want combat, cyber punk, post apo, too much resource management, something in space and exploring planets, some ancient civilisations we don't know and don't know why they went extinct, something like in the Larry Niven novel Ringworld.... Big demands... I know. And also not to be boring. I tried Alone Among A Stars, but sorry. Too boring. And I wanted something relatively simple. To play straight away. And not to have a 300 page manual filled with spaceship armour stats. And I guess google doesn't just eavesdrop on our conversations with our phones, it probably also eavesdrops on our thoughts, because a video about Entity popped up on YT. I checked it out, it just happened to be on promotion for five bucks, so I didn't think about it any longer. And what does it turn out to be? The game meets exactly all my expectations. I didn't really think it was possible. I play the game slowly, without rushing. I throw the drawn results into the AI graphics generators, which builds imersion. A great story emerges. Throughout the game you encounter monumental monuments to the past whose meaning you can only guess at. More questions than answers. Great. Pros:

game for beginner solo players meta goal procedure for selecting the next event resource management, but not too much quick and easy creation of new characters immersive storyline

Disadvantages: no table of contents no hyperlinks in PDF too easy

Just picked this up they other day. I primarily play Starforged, someone mentioned this game to me. And it was a very refreshing non combat take on the sci-fi genre while there can be combat it's feels like 99 percent is very and I may add amazingly focused on really well done exploration.

I been having a blast and the charts really spark your other sci-fi games. I been using it to run games a little less space opera combat and make my games feel more the the movies Interstellar and the Martian, whith that problem solving and exploring goodness.

The book's setting and the descriptions that follow are evocative, but mechanically this feels more like a roll & write board game than an RPG. When you choose a mission, you simply are choosing your reward and the number of successful expeditions you need to get said reward. After your mission is chosen, each expedition is on rails; the only agency you have as a player is when/if to use your resources for each roll until the mission is complete. Locations and challenges have great, thematic descriptions, but they are ultimately meaningless. I had high hopes based on the premise, but was disappointed.

One of the best rpgs I have played. It is easy to get immersed into exploration, and working g out the encounters. The dice have to be kind, but it has been great working out how to succeed with each new mission.
