This is a summary of a good game. Where is the rest? Where are the illustrations? It's cheap, it's basic, and it's playable, but because it's so good its also disappointingly thin on detail. Pyspher 2430 uses attributes, tests, skills, combat, etc., in a way that an experienced gamer can get by skimming. Its mechanics use d6, but not in the common d6 way, which I am very glad of. Leaving them wanting more: more images, more story, more detail, may be considered a success. If so, Psypher 2430 is a success. But you may want to wait for the Deluxe/ 2nd edition for it to to give you any reason to stop playing your current SFRPG and take it up.
