The final career book from Spica focuses on "job" paths more in line with the classic works of Sword and
Planet sci-fi, with swashbuckling fun abounding. Inheritors, mariners, privateers, renaissancers and wastelanders are not only fun to play but also fill up slots in the party beyond the standard worker/merchant/armed forces mix common to the game. Business and professional jobs are also present, and the Alternative Benefits Tables (great for avoiding Monty Hall money and ship acquisitions right out of the gate), Physical Features and Family Background tables are well-worth it. My players loved these books when making their characters for my most recent game. For the price of a Mongoose 1st edition splatbook, you can have a dynamic series that will give you hours of fun even when you aren't bellying up to the gaming table with your friends.
