The corebook to the Obsidian universe, this book has all the rules, mechanics, history, setting, and players that are used in the game. Obsidian is set in the 2299, as a desperate humanity wages war... This description may be from another edition of this product.
>this review comes to you from, well, an old friend. micah is a personal deity of mine, and i was given a copy of this book when he first had it published. it's probably the coolest rpg i've ever played, and is the only one i still would play. i love the fluff material and the environments in his world, and i especially like the take micah has on religion and all its evils...definately a good game to pick up. and definately pick up any of his cd's under the name Cruciform Injection, he has four at this point, and all are good.<

I picked this game up at Gen Con and was hooked after reading the 1st page... Simply stated, it's the best thing to happen to to role playing games since Vampire: The Masquerade. The blend of Lovecraftian Horror and gritty Sci-Fi gets under your skin and won't let you go... I could rant and rave for pages and pages about how great the game is... but i'm gonna keep it short here: Check it out, you will NOT regret it, and get your hands on the "soundtrack" by Cruciform Injection while you're at it...Rev. 7roi

I bought this book on a shelf in England during a holiday. I love it. My friends ordered three more from this website. We play it. We love it. The conflicts of good versus evil where lines are blurred and the totalitarian state is actually looking out for your best interests is unique and exciting. I highly recommend the Wasteland: Beyond the Outposts supplement for this game as well!

I absolutely love the book! I picked it up at GENCON '99 this year on a whim and now I cant get enough of it. I am hoping another supplement will be out soon. I plan to start playing soon. The artwork is also fantastic. I have play Call of Cthulhu, Shadowrun, Vampire, D & D, and most other games and I must say this is an extrodinary game!!!
Filled with great imagery and content.. quality!!!!

I have been roleplaying for about 12 years now, and have really appreciated Obsidian for all the work that must have gone into it. It is full of information and history. It is the book necessary to play.. it combines the Main book with the players handbook. VERY DARK!!!!
