Thanks to your enthusiastic review, I decided to give it another try (this time downloading the full thing) and I must say I don't regret. <BR/><BR/>The setting a is a bit too weird for me but the mood and the rules more than make up for it. I'm still a little ambivalent on certain abstractions in conflict resolution and have been chasing for more examples but overall, there are some brilliant features.<BR/><BR/>Rob, gracias for this review!<BR/><BR/>Colin, Sufficiantly Advanced has several brilliant features and I hope you are working on more games!Consonant Dudehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05828575831544439679noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5273659070093034708.post-40360998088370690882009-03-02T14:38:00.000+00:002009-03-02T14:38:00.000+00:00@daniel: Arg!

I'd hate to lose th implicit humour found in the Civilisations by imposing culture principles.<BR/><BR/>@Colin - thanks for stopping by. The character sheet is a shiney delight! Fits absolutely into the golden age setting. If you ever feel like updating the main book, it would be super to put that in.<BR/><BR/>I'm glad you love it when others get excited: I frothed at the horizontal face gash while reading through the Civilisations. Even for those who won't ever run Sci Fi, let alone SA, I think there is plenty of thoroughly thought out ideas to draw from.<BR/><BR/>I'm glad you made it free, we're all the richer for it!Rob Langhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01377928640392467606noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5273659070093034708.post-70402611765097063132009-02-17T18:22:00.000+00:002009-02-17T18:22:00.000+00:00To Steve: Many people have suggested as much.

I've only read A Player of Games, and that after writing the book, but it does seem like it could work well.<BR/><BR/>To Rob: It used to be for sale, but I realized that a) it wasn't getting bought, and thus wasn't getting played, and b) I cared more about people being able to use what I made than I cared about making money from it. I love it when people get interested and excited about my games. <BR/><BR/>For examples of play, character sheet, plot generators, forums, etc., check out the game's wiki site at <A HREF="http://suffadv.wikidot.com/" REL="nofollow">http://suffadv.wikidot.com/</A>. The character sheet is in with the Demo section.Colin Frederickshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10619406247731209530noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5273659070093034708.post-11367491447198778302009-02-17T15:46:00.000+00:002009-02-17T15:46:00.000+00:00Sounds perfect for a game set in the Iain M.
