5.0 out of 5 stars A good system for an exciting setting., 11 Dec 2005
The system is similar to others seen before, a points buy character creation system costing 6points to have a d6 to roll for an ability or skill.
Modify your points with Assets or Complications (modifiers to rolls) and you have a well rounded character with a personality, ready to play.
Also included are the ships and crews of Serenity and Aces & Eights, to jump right into the action with your favourites or a new, but fun to play crew.
My favourite bit as a GamesMaster was to create a brand new ship, which acts as a seperate character than just its crew, and crew it with flawed heros, just trying to survive.
To do anything a difficulty number is used and you roll one dice for an ability, eg d6 Strength, and one for a skill, eg d10 Intimidate, if the total of those dice equal or beat the difficulty number then you succeed.
Easy for GamesMasters to run, very fun and easy for RolePlayers to play.
Highly recommended for Serenity/Firefly fans and recommended for people bored with d20/d10 systems.
Good Job Joss!

5.0 out of 5 stars Gorram excellent!, 29 Jun 2007
By Mr. S. C. Chandler "Curse you for your sudden... (Northampton, England.) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
As a roleplayer and a fan of Joss Whedon's excellent series 'Firefly' and the Big Damn Movie I found this book useful and very interesting.

The rule system is extremely easy to get used to and can easily be understood by both new and experienced players. Rather than useing a fixed dice, which usually characterises an RPG (such as D20 (D&D) or D100 (stormbringer)) the dice changes depending on how good a characte is at doing something. As an example, a character who is a gunfighter may have D6 in guns and D10 in pistols as a specialisation. A character who is bad with the guns skill may however only have a D4 (compotent) in the skill. Character generation is also very simple and full statistics of the crew of 'Serenity' are included.

The background information given on the 'verse is also very good and interesting. As is the artwork and the book itself is set out very clearly.

All in all it is prety damn shiny.

4.0 out of 5 stars A decent rpg system for an excellent setting., 16 May 2008
The cortex system (the game rules) is a slightly different take on the usual rpg dice system, but not a huge variation. That said it is pretty easy to use and the skills system in particular opens up a lot of possibilities. The book is self contained, so you do not need to buy countless books to get the most out of it. However the book doesn't really have quite enough setting information for some peoples tastes, including me, but I was able to find out much of what I wanted online by looking up serenity and firefly rpgs and the show/film. As a games master I greatly enjoyed the challenge of creating a game the was recognisible as set in the firefly/serenity setting but was also not just retreading the show. I spent a while researching all I could about the planets in the 'verse and creating my campaign. well worth a look for all role players.
