Woot! The Threats Database has been a great resource in my games! This looks awesome!

Finally! Excellent news.

I don’t know if it’s the change of genres or the lack of a blockbuster franchise, but EG games are always wild fun. It’s so easy to run with whatever the players come up with.

I got to get a new game started soon.

These books are gorgeous. I especially like that second spread with the starship stretching across the two pages.

All us non-kickstarter people have been waiting a long time for this awesome book to be released.

Esper Genesis is, imo, easily the best Sci-Fi adaption for DND 5e out there, so this is one of the very few third party books I'm actually incredibly excited for.

There are two podcasts that i know of of actual play of D&D 5e: Esper Genesis, Espersito and Inglorious Bards Season 2 and both are well worth listening to.

You should also check out Esper Genesis: Shadow of the Zephyr by ArvanEleron, which includes some legit SF writers in it as well.
