Serenity
Role Playing Game does a grand job of capturing the flavor of this
setting. The system is pretty easy as well, with set difficulty values
met by a variable set of dice. The editing is fairly decent, although
there are a couple score typo or printing glitches scattered throughout
the book. There are also a number of incidents where descriptions are
incomplete. For instance, grenades are assigned a range, which is
really the blast radius and no throwing range is ever explicitly
provided, nor is it even possible to compare to a thrown weapon to
extrapolate one. There are just enough of these little oversights to
irk detail oriented readers. The layout, though, is quite decent, with
full color pages, well placed dialog snippets throughout the volume,
and full color art. Most of the art are direct film shots from the
film, although there are some sketches of the Aces & Eights crew
and vehicle schematics. Overall, this is a pretty solid game book. Or
to put it in the vernacular, it is all shiny. Take a look and keep
flying. |
The only gripes are on incomplete descriptions of things and a noted lack of rules. I say, make it up as you go, but I'm a nerativist.
