This really brings me back to the good old days of D6 Star Wars. Anyone who played that or any of the other WEG products from the early 90s will be able to get right into this. Not much has been removed or changed, and only a few things have been added, most of them good in my opinion. I have always prefered the freedom of the D6 system to most of the others that I have encountered, you just pick a skill and role the dice, and don't worry about feats or bonuses or anything like that. The additions this brings to that simple formula might bring some complexity, but I think they give some good fleshing out to things such as unusual characters and talents. Best of all, its free and plugs pretty much right in with any of the old D6 stuff you still have lying around. What is not to like.

I have come to the conclusion that anything from the Future Armada series is pure gold, and the MisFortune is no exception. This is the perfect ship to run half a doven adventures on, an alien style hunt was what first came to mind. In addition to the maps, which are good enough on their own, this book includes d20 stats and a solid background for both ship and crew. The ship AI in particular should inspire some interesting plots. Finally, while stated for d20, there are enough details for a slightly enterprizing GM to convert this to most other systems, and the ship is generic enough that doing so will not jar the universe. All in all, well worth the price.
