Troika! has two distinct supplements. Acid Death Fantasy is a unique world and while it may be a Sphere it is unique from the assumed Troika! setting. The vibe and the default PCs are different from the core rulebook even though the rules all work together. Other supplements dive into the...

I really like Fronds of Benevolence. It sets just the right weird tone and is a great point crawl. Also monkey elevator at The Wall.

Cannot wait for Vaults of Vaarn. Post-apocalyptic with a slightly reduced gonzo factored in (compared to Gamma World) paired with well tested rules and lots of GM support. Plus extra content available as well beyond the core book.

In my discussion of Star*Drive, I touch on what makes it still viable 25 years later. When I get around to running it again, I'm going to focus on the Verge itself and the PCs wandering planet to planet.
