Book Synopsis

A science fiction roleplaying game of exploration, isolation, and survival in a dark and dangerous universe.

Space is a hell of a thing but you need to be sure that this is what you want. Like, what you really want. The idea of space exploration to further the frontiers of mankind is noble, but let''s not kid ourselves--it''s really all about furthering the profit margins. There''s money to be made and out there is the place to make it, but you hear all kinds of stories equipment malfunctions, strange discoveries, crewmembers going insane... You''ll be out there in the reaches, alone, for months or years, breathing recycled air and drinking recycled water, with nothing but a few feet of metal and shielding between you and certain death.

Are you sure this is what you want?

A game with feeling, which holds one enormous advantage over the Alien RPG * RPG.net *
There is undeniably some catharsis to be found in its steel corridors, and the mysteries your find between the stars are all the more fulfilling for it. * Tabletop Gaming Mag *
The Ana-Sin-Emid Report is nasty, weirdly creepy, and short. It is easy to run as a one-shot or add to an existing campaign, and should provide one or two sessions of play. * rlyehreviews *
Fantastically produced, beautifully written. * GMS Magazine *
