System Guide to Aegis (Alternity)

Rating:
Summary: Good, solid addition
Review: Not mind-blowing, and the scenarios at the back seemed thrown together in a bit of a rush, but the core of the book worked well and was useful to me as a GM. The background history, geography and political scene were good, easy to use and had plenty of fun game hooks in them. The individual islands and their inhabitants were well-described and colorful. I have used Aegis as a base for my players and was delighted to be able to flesh it out better with this source book. This and 'Planet of Darkness' make a nice pair of opposites (in terms of contents, not quality).

Summary: Usefull, but not Necassary
Review: The System Guide to Aegis was a very informative book on the governments and powers that run the system and a few adventure hooks too. All in all a rather good book to add to your shelf of alternity books, it provides much information about bluefall (the system's water dominated planet) and the deepfallen (bluefall's sentient race). If you have the cash, then get the book. The only thing i didnt like was the art, but the info was great.
