Core Mechanic

Roll 2d6 + skill + modifier ≥ 8 to succeed. Character generation is a mini-game.

Best For

Comprehensive sci-fi toolkit, lifepath character creation, detailed trade/travel systems

Considerations

Lifepath character creation can produce unplayable results, subsystem rules are spread across multiple supplements, steep buy-in if using official sourcebooks
