Wow, it's so cool! Has anybody else played it?
I heard about that ttrpg and I was struck by the cool, very 2000 A.D. comic, cover art.

I finally managed to try it and it's so full of charm! We've ended up making what would've made a great comedy satire film in a sci-fi setting!
You don’t love it. You’ve been tricked into thinking you do.

I really need to get the newest edition. My son really likes it.

I haven't played it in forever but it was a great palate cleanser between other campaigns. My favorite way to run it was for people who were really unfamiliar with the setting and rules. I would say, "There is a chance you are a member of a secret society or a mutant - we have to roll secretly to see if that is the case." And then no matter what they rolled I would say "OH MY GOD! YOU ARE BOTH! Better keep it extra secret!" And would do this with each player. :ROFLMAO:

Love it myself, my biggest problem was keeping up with tech to use and technobabble for the game.

Use stuff like:
Reclamation Industrial Plant (RIP) - The place where characters became Soylent Green​
3D Printer - where players would report to, to get equipment and later where there clones were generated​
D30 Goo - Look it up, just cool but What IF it with AI, it goes bad​

Honestly, it's so..... clever!
Our DM, or should I say our friendly A.I. overlord, just handed us our character sheets and told us we were waking up in a room, and then we got greeted by said A.I. We soon ended up in a mixture of Monty Python + Weekend At Bernie's + 2000 A.D. Three things I love!!

I'm quite happy that it actually lived up to the expectation that the cover images I've seen around were promising.

So I was the..... how is it called in English? Happiness officer? I think the majority of the pills, my character took for themselves. I kinda felt like playing a sci-fi Rincewind, twitchy and scared of everything. It was hilarious!
