I like the tables in the book better than starforged, they pretty much cover everything you would need for any scifi campaign. I think the built in complications for scenarios is a great addition. the only hits i have are the amount of lists for drugs, books and names.

Each 'job' is just a short sentence. Doesn't really help much with prep.

Content: 3.5/5 Print Quality (Standard Color): 3/5

These are good, convenient tables with enough specificity and randomness to work well when you need to roll for inspiration. I got them to supplement those times when I don't want to interpret an oracle table or deck.

Hardback vs PDF: I recommend the PDF version, not the physical -- and I am the type of person who prefers physical books usually. I ordered the PDF and standard color print. The paper is thick, textured, and matte; it is not like the coated thick paper used by most premium RPG rulebooks. The covers are heavy duty, but I'm honestly going to be using the PDFs and can't see using the physical books that much.

Great resource when you want to run a game without having to prep.

This is a great collection of generic (0 to 5th edition) one off adventures that require minimal effort for an experienced DM to run at short notice. Whilst the players buy their equipment, the DM can look up the creatures stats and formulate strategies. There is even a instant city at the ready, populated by NPCs. I purchased the hard cover which means I get a quality print that equates to about one dollar per dungeon.

I agree with other posters in that there should be more. What is there is pretty decent, but there are a lot [of kinds] of tables I expected that aren't there.

Great stuff here!! As usual, Dicegeeks comes through!!

At first glance this product seems to be well put together and has lots of good tables for the generation of a facility in a Sci-Fi setting.

I'm only giving it 4 stars for a couple of reasons. Some of the information feels useful but unneeded. It is my understanding that this product is supposed to generate a Sci-Fi facility. If it is instead supposed to generate a Sci-Fi research facility, then some of the following criticism can be ignored. -The information on the founding organization is okay, but lacks criminal elements. -There is a names table for orbiting space stations but not one for ground based facilities. -The Facility purpose table is dedicated solely to science. This makes if feel more like a sub-table than a main table. I would like to see a main table for the facility's purpose that looks more like: Science/research, Trade outpost, Resupply depot, Military base, Mining base, Industrial facility, Administration/communication, Religious retreat, Hidden purpose (roll again for what the purpose appears to be.) -In the status with founding group there is the abandoned quality. I feel like this should have been done a bit differently. The original founding organization may have abandoned the facility, but that doesn't mean that another group hasn't taken it over. (Abandoned by the original founders and totally abandoned are potentially two different things. -The random items you might find are interesting, but probably could have been expanded into it's own document as most of what's given are all science related again.

All in all, I'd say this is a good product at a pretty reasonable price point. Somethings here should help a GM get the basics of a facility up pretty fast.

Still haven't gotten my book. The PDF is fine but the process of getting a book is absurd I haven't had issues with other books from drive thru.

Great collection of tables! I would like to see more, but what is there was definitely inspiring.

A great collection of notes and ideas for a Cyberpunk campaign in a non-western setting. It's sparked a lot of ideas for me that I would like to use in my game. Plus it's free.

GET THIS BOOK.

I have bought a lot of things on this site, most of which have been in attempts to gather a library of ideas and tables for various campaigns (as well as for some solo play). The results have been very hit-or-miss so far, and while I get lucky sometimes, usually I end up with only a few truly interesting ideas. This book, however, is PACKED with useful ideas across many categories.

So I mean it as a compliment when I say this book makes me feel upset that I’ve wasted a LOT of money on other things here. My wallet wishes I’d found this book WAY sooner. In fact, I own some other work by DiceGeeks, and I have no idea how this one slipped under my radar until now. This book is a goldmine of ideas from which I can spin off entire sessions from just a line or two. I know it may sound like I’m overhyping it, but this is exactly what I'd been looking for all along.

Aside from core rulebooks & system-specific supplements I use (and an oracle system for solo play), this book is pretty much all I'll need now for random ideas while running or prepping sessions. If you’re doing a sci-fi campaign, save yourself a lot of heartache — BUY THIS BOOK.

My only feedback is that I’d love to see a softcover version of it. The hardcover is still well worth the cost — in fact, I came back and purchased a hardcover copy too, as I know I'm going to get a lot of use out of it ─ but I think a softcover might be accessible to more people. Regardless, the value-for-the-buck is exceedingly high, and the PDF is an absolute steal. I highly recommend it!

The entries in this book of lists do not provide any additional contextual data necessary to make them useful. — e.g. the list of period books doesn’t include the publication dates; the list of entertainers doesn’t include their professions (actor, musician, etc); And the list of writers and artists doesn’t indicate who is a writer and who is an artist.

In short,a GM will have to do extra research to make this book useful. And isn’t the whole point of a reference work to •eliminate• research?

while i love this book random charts i do wish there was a better bookmark placements, or the ability to make my own.

There is nothing really wrong with this, there just isn't much to it. I would have loved to have seen much more information and detail on ecology, habitats, & especially the descriptions that it keeps encouraging us to use. Perhaps for the next offering, something this length but focused on just one of the three terrains? If you can get it on sale it is an OK value.
