There are actually three parts thrown together in this supplement: The "Sarcifices" mechanism to emulate horror that can be used with your favourite system, a discussion of a couple of monsters that fit in a horror sf setting and and an adventure. At the usual large print used in the bayn.org supplements this makes about for an hour of reading which is acceptable at the low price. In comparison to other products from the WUSHU line, this supplement lacks. The writing style is as good as in the other supplements, but I expected more thorough discussion of the genre. Nevertheless, I can scavenge good ideas to be used in my CoC/Delta Green campaign.<br><br> <b>LIKED</b>: - Sacrifice mechanism

  • writing style<br><br><b>DISLIKED</b>: - large print
  • NO PAGE NUMBERS :(<br><br><b>QUALITY</b>: Acceptable<br><br><b>VALUE</b>: Satisfied<br>

Excellent little one shot scenario. The content does rather limit the use but with the right crowd it would work very well. Can't comment in too much detail or I'd give the game away!<br><br><b>QUALITY</b>: Acceptable<br><br><b>VALUE</b>: Satisfied<br>

I expected more. It is cheap and smll, but I have gotten used to having something I can enjoy or really use in my games. Unfortunatly this one merely borrows mosters from Cthluhu, gives some not-so-imaginative plot ideas for them, then ends with an uninspiring adventure that just seems thrown in. I got much more useful stuff picking up my copy of Call of Cthulhu and adapting it to space.

I would have rather had a more detailed look at why these things are in space, how they could hook into different scienc-fiction environments such as realistic sci-fi or space opera, etc.<br><br><b>LIKED</b>: Not much.<br><br><b>DISLIKED</b>: Not really usable. Mosters borrowed from Chaosium products. Doesn;t add anything new. Cannot reccommend this book.<br><br><b>QUALITY</b>: Disappointing<br><br><b>VALUE</b>: Disappointed<br>
