This project takes me back to high school reading assignments. Based on George Orwell’s dystopian scifi novel, [B][I]Nineteen Eighty-Four (1984)[/I][/B], the creators “worked side by side with George Orwell’s inheritors to make [B][I]1984: Thoughtcrime[/I][/B] as true as possible to the universe the English writer created.” This project translates the original RPG from Asturian and Spanish to English. The world is retro-future and suggests a post-WWII Cold War fear that never manifested. Still, this is a setting steeped in history and mystery and worth roleplaying through.

This does not replace combat and skill results, it adds to them to provide a cinematic flourish. For example, your character succeeds on a bludgeoning melee attack, flip to that page and roll to add flare to the results. What if their bludgeoning attack fails? There’s a chart for that. There’s options for skill results and more. If you need something to spice up encounter descriptions, this book may be the right quick reference for you.

Offered as two books, [B][I]Station[/I][/B] at 64 pages and [B][I]Struggler[/I][/B] at 40 pages, you’re on a randomly generated space station with random monsters. Every time you die, you return to a save point, but the world is randomly generated so it’s in constant flux.
