A simple RPG system with a space opera theme. Some good races for players to choose from. The PDF includes: spacecraft system, gimmicks, skills, background, everything included. The supplements are good (more than for Earth AD.2).

The extra supplements are cheap, and worth buying.

Well worth the £4.74.

PIG has done a great job creating an easy to learn, multi-genre rules system (genreDiversion i) that actually works really well in play, and the Space Opera Sci-Fi setting of HardNova II is no exception. The rules are easy enough to learn that I was able to teach my 13 year old nephew the basics in less than 10 minutes.

Throw in an immersive background with some really cool alien races (in particular, the ruthless Ruthdii Komar really stand out as unique and interesting) pre-generated characters and spacecraft, and a handful of scenarios to get you started and you have everything you need to get up and running quickly and easily.

Also, the file size of the PDF is quite low for the amount of information that’s packed into it. So not only is it easy to use, it won’t take up very much space at all on your hard drive. Very well done!
