I remember giving this game's quickstart a try some time ago and skimming through it. 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.

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.

Rob, gracias for this review!

Colin, Sufficiantly Advanced has several brilliant features and I hope you are working on more games!

@daniel: Arg! How did I not spot that? many thanks. I'll edit.

Isn't the game called Sufficiently (instead of Significantly) Advanced?

@Steve - definitely! I think that the Culture novels are somewhat drier than SA suggests. I'd hate to lose th implicit humour found in the Civilisations by imposing culture principles.

@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.

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.

I'm glad you made it free, we're all the richer for it!

To 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.

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.

For examples of play, character sheet, plot generators, forums, etc., check out the game's wiki site at http://suffadv.wikidot.com/. The character sheet is in with the Demo section.

Sounds perfect for a game set in the Iain M. Banks culture novels...
