It's just transcribing someone else's rules as suggestions. For my taste it loses a lot by doing so.

But why would anyone sue? A reader who is interested in the content would get much better value by buying the original.

I thought one thing was a misreading: the idea of Bookhounds is that you are shonky booksellers, not sekrit investigators using your bookstore as a clubhouse.

The second page, an adventure generator for Bookhounds, looks genuinely useful.

It's an amusing idea. Some people's belief systems might find it horrifying. I don't know that I would take the time to prep and run it for a session.

I received a copy as a Kickstarter backer. There's a lot of innovative work in this for a variety of systems. I'll go so far as to bump it a star for the price offered.

edit: Thanks for a quick update! If it was cut and pasted from "Bug Ship", it's thoroughly adapted for space pirates with some nice touches.

Advice here should be reasonably familiar, but well put together. New specialties look useful for each class to make an important contribution to a scenario.

There's just very little to it for the price asked.

If you throw enough cliches around, some of them are likely to stick, but it's pretty uneven. The setting doesn't make a lot of sense, starting with the map.

There's quite a lot going on with a number of possible interactions, given the size of the location.

Space Dungeon offers an interesting variation: rather than a language for each alignment, the game, or the setting, has a language specific to each class, most efficient to discuss matters of professional interest.

Many abilities drawn from the legends of these intimidating lawmen build up to a distinctive and focused class description.

Mechanics from elsewhere in the d20 system with a different setting explanation might give an interesting flavour to a modern game.

A bit of shrine-looting and running away from understandably aggrieved tribesmen. The deity mentioned doesn't have a lot to say about it.

Mostly, it's a nicely detailed building block for a campaign and quite a useful freebie. The adventure is more an encounter.

This and the following issue introduce the influential and still interesting rule system for Robots. Generally lots of useful content.

Moderately hard-SF mini-setting and an adventure for this system looks like a solid start for a short campaign.
