Pros & Cons
Pros
The book itself is a high quality hardcover with a logical, ordered layout and just enough evocative art. The ruleset is decent and captures the sense of playing as a team, running missions, very well - which is precisely the premise of this game.
Cons
The book hits the sweet spot of maximum player annoyance. The layout is poor as well, trying to find needed information is a difficult chore.
Highlights
Quality
The book itself is well made has good art and is a sturdy hardback
Scum villainy is an elegantly designed beautifully made fun to play game
Please dont let the 1star review discussing quality deter you
This is a common shortcoming imho of many rpgscertainly the granddaddy of them all dd is a culprit as well
Packaging/appearance
But in such a small package i would love to see a quick overview to help pique interest before having a bunch of rules thrown at you
Competitiveness
Space games are always a challenge because there are so many different groups and keeping alliances and such straight is hard
