'A lighter, softer, Warhammer 40k'

Do not confuse this with science fiction! This is science fantasy! Swords, bows, knights, cavalry charges, magic, and just the occassional spaceship or alien seems to be the order of the day in Fading Suns.

The setting goes into lavish detail in some sections, but completely omits other areas which will likely be vital to play. Feels incomplete.

The core mechanic is fast and simple. lots of gear, both psychic and magical powers are included. No starship rules!

The art is black and white but of the highest quality for black and white art. The PDF is not bookmarked.

Hard to give it low marks in the areas they did include. But so many areas are omitted I can't give it any higher rating than a 3/5. If it were a more complete product 4/5 would be more likely.

AWESOME! If you like science-fiction and gothic role-playing, then this adventure is for you! Set in the aftermath ofa great cataclysm, mankind, having reached the stars is trying to expand their own territories. To do so, they have found enourmous technological rings on the outskirts to the solar system, these rings allow passage to other systems. Wars have been fought over these rings since, and humanity has fallen into three castes: Nobility, the Orthodox Church, and the Merchant Guilds. Each one vying for power over the others and the Known Worlds. Players take on the roles of individuals from amongst these three, each of which is broken down into smaller factions. I really enjoyed playing this game, the system is well organized, and makes an excellent source of inspiration for other works. My thanks, Holistic, I hope that you can make a comeback soon!

What a fantastic setting! There is so much going on in this "world" that you could really take the game in any direction and have TONS of story lines to play with.

The system is fairly flexible which will be enjoyed by more advanced players but may be a little frustrating at first for the novice players.

Fading Suns is a force unto itself. It blends popular science fiction elements and fantasy into a cohesive whole that will keep you facinated like few other games. A quick, intuitive mechanic and source material that sends your imagination flying make it one of my best RPG investments ever.

What makes this game so captivating is the very vivid universe setting. Character creation and game mechanics are easy. The best part of the game is the "Roleplaying" versus the "Rollplaying" that one gets in so many games. Humanity stands on an knife edge between hope and darkness. Its an epic game worth playing.

One of greatest epic space opera games. A rich back ground with medieval civilisation, space ships, xenomorph and mystical power. A great work for great adventures with a good Dune taste.

Quite simply the best Sci-Fiction game (with background) ever written. Though I cut my teeth on Traveller and Metamorphosis: Alpha this is the game I always come back to.
