Hello oh brave delvers into that which should never be seen.
I have already lost track of just how long ago it was when I first picked up this book, and several of the others for the setting and dithered for quite some time after that before an opportunity came to finally run a session for my normal crew. To be brief, the low rating is for the seemingly abandoned nature of the system while there is still a significant amount that mechanically and setting-wise needed to be addressed. It is a shame, really, upon acquiring it the setting itself hooked me but attempts to run the pre-made adventures/missions left me having to wing major questions such as how much/little various player archetypes should know about what they're dealing with, the functions of the commonplace organizations and why, at the time of play, a setting like this appeared to lack the iconic flamethrower for toasting zenos with.
Honestly, I hope that the abandoned nature ceases to be a thing, I'm sure I'll end up redownloading all the books once again sometime this year to poke at fleshing things out.
