Not only a beautiful pdf product, but an incredibly well thought out and detailed setting, that uses the Fate rules system. Great value, and one of my favorite game purchases in a long while!

Nova Praxis is a well worked out PostHuman setting for the Fate system. The background is well worked out and the integration with FATE was quite nice and elegant. As a game system I liked it I was disappointed with the augmented PDF format, Adobe reader on my Mac kept hitting problems, especially just before chapter breaks, haven't tried it with good-reader on my iPad or even thought about printing it, so potentially this is going to be the worst value for money I've ever seen on RPGNow..mainly because its a game that cries out to be played but but wont be because navigating the rules is too dammed hard with that jizzy interface. A low-res pdf verion of the rules is included in the package so at least they THOUGHT about different formats

To improve this product by leaps and bounds, please include a standard bookmarked PDF in the package for those of us who are interested in substance over style

Hi Andrew, The Augmented PDF contains all the bookmarks you would expect to find in a quality PDF, as well as linked page references. So even if your PDF reader of choice doesn't support some of the advanced features, you should still be able to navigate using the standard bookmarks and links. (Note that the low-res version is not fully linked and bookmarked, but will be in the upcoming update.) Regarding the advanced functions: On both the Mac and PC, Adobe Acrobat Reader allows you to use all of the advanced functions. Acrobat is what I used in this demo video: http://www.youtube.com/watch?feature=player_embedded&v=8RAIvGz76Q0 Can you be more specific about the problems you are encountering? Are you using the latest version of Adobe Reader? On the iPad, Goodreader allows you to do everything except fill out the character sheet. PDF Expert allows you to fill out the character sheet, but it is a bit more sluggish than Goodreader.

A new video has been uploaded that shows the advanced functions of the PDF working on Windows 7, Mac and the iPad. You can view it here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?feature=player_embedded&v=biBxNCZ1d1s

I dont usually write reviews , but i had to write this one just to point that the authors have not only managed to nail a very good hard scifi fate based rpg game, they have also built one of the most solid, credible eutopian societies ive ever readen about (probably only the Culture books by Iain banks come close) The reputation based currency system and the "default" segment of the population as a sociological phenomenon justifies buying the book, even if you only read that.

Intuitive, awesome PDF format? Check. Perfect blend of hard and soft sci-fi in an intriguing, thought-provoking setting? Check. Compatability with the upcoming and highly anticipated Fate Core? Oh you better believe that's a check. Nova Praxis has rapidly become one of my favorite transhuman sci-fi settings. It doesn't quite topple Eclipse Phase as my favorite, but NP has a few big advantages over EP. It's easier to introduce to those new to post-singularity concepts, post-scarcity economies, and transhumanism in general. And it doesn't suffer from its narrative and depth as a result of this ease of a selling point. It's a setting where transhumanism is there, and our species has the potential to reach the next stage in our evolution, but significant social and moral issues stand in the way.

Oh yeah, did I mention that the PDF layout is head and shoulders the best PDF format for any RPG ever? I thought Pathfinder PDFs were intuitive and slick and the top of their game. Well I thought wrong.
