found this one thru the link - there's no way this isn't AWESOME

Somebody here said they picked it up awhile back. 

Didn't hear much about it.  I'm a bit intrigued after seeing it uses the PbtA system.  The few others I have, which use PbtA, are surprisingly interesting for as light as the rules are.  Lotsa theme built into them.

Also kinda reminds me of the over-the-top action movie stuff in the Feng Shui 2 RPG.  Very mashed-up action movie thing.  Which looks like it would be a great vehicle for a Big Trouble In Little China style campaign, too.

I think I made mention of having it and it probably can be as gonzo fun as described. Sad to say I've never played.

Fun fact: If an RPG excites my neurons, I nearly immediately start cranking on ideas after just reading the "game fiction," section (now actually running anything is another story). "Adventure!" "Star Trek," (LUG version specifically regarding Federation Merchant Marine info), and "Spirit of '77," did this for me - even went and bought "Bedlam Hall," from the same folks with the same results.

Bundle of Holding has Traveller: The New Era on sale. I'm only familiar with Classic Traveller and Mongoose Traveller so I don't know if it is worth it or not.

It uses GDW's late-era "house," rpg system of the time, so it's loads more complex than the Classic & the Mongoose versions (and I'm guessing the Mongoose version wasn't too far removed from Classic).  Of the books that are offered up in the bundle, I'm fond and familiar of the "Vampire Fleets," book only as it details the rouge AI warships that are kicking about the spacelanes making a shitty situation even more shittier for the surviving humans of the Imperium. Shades of the Berserker series from Saberhagen can be seen here and that tickles me pink.

Otherwise, I was on my way out from GDW at this point and I wasn't going to drop more dimes on a system or line that once again seemed to want to reinvent the wheel...again.
