This is a well rounded game bringing in many aspects to satisfy any type of play group. Players can really go any way they want, it is not a one demensional game based around combat, though it easily can if that is what people want. The D100 system, and realistic damage and "physics" keep things grounded and accurate, while the world and story keep this sci-fi adventure game interesting and fun. All around one of the best games I have ever playe. There are infinite possibilities with hundreds of planet descriptions that allow players and GM's to make anything happen, your only limited by your imagination.
A fun new sci-fi RPG

I've been playing Pax for the last 7 months with a solid group. The combat system is much more rich and detailed than D & D, and the concept of interrupts transforms combat from a static to a lively dynamic flow. While there are a few typos, the game is very well balanced, and is a sheer pleasure to GM -- very little book reference is necessary, even when players try to do very obscure actions. If you're tired of D & D, this is the RPG for you.
