The disk turned up last night. It just looks like I'm the last guy in the universe to pick it up. I had started to despair that the great potential of Jovian Chronicles as an RPG would be completely overlooked. On a recent trip to a games store in Berkley, I was stunned to see a blue book in the Dream Pod 9 section. The JC setting can now be used for more than simple clashing mecha.
Player characters have a place in the potentially dramatic and exciting setting.
Loads of background info, toys, character templates, villains, criminal organizations, and suspect operations. All are well done and provide numerous adventure hooks. From a role-playing standpoint, the Chronicles have been rather dissappointing over the last year. More warship parameters are just not going to be appreciated at this point. The rest of the book is filled with extensive information on the history, branches, organization, and foes of Solapol.
