I disagree with Gary's assessment. This game is awesome. The mechanics are so easy and intuitive, you can tell that it has been play-tested extensively. And you can play it over and over again because there are so many choices of characters you can play. Gary correctly points out that there are many similarities to Star Wars. If you read the author's description, he started writing this RPG before there ever was a Star Wars RPG! And let me tell you as someone who has played both, this one is better. Primarily, I would say because you have more room for imagination in this universe. You don't have to play within George Lucas' fantasy world -- you can make your own. Sure, the book itself has some idiosyncrasies but it's like buying a 1st edition Gary Gygax...this one is going to be a cult classic!
