I found this game through Character Creation Cast and was instantly excited on reading it. My excitement was dampened a little by the lack of an index or glossary in a 150 page game. I've tried twice now to make a right up analyzing this game, but that fails to explain why I like it. Let me tell you a story:
I rolled 'Died for the Sake of Others' on the How Did You Die table at char gen. I opened up a writing prompt website and, in the spirit of a game using only d4s, randomly generated 4 real-world occupations. 'Debt Collector' immediately caught my eye. I thought of the Yakuza game series. What if I was a loan shark? Who was murdered for letting someone escape my usurer boss?
I rolled my species: Skeleton. A yakuza skeleton! The game had my attention. Will this former criminal find his place in a new kind of underworld? When will this brave boney boy get the tacky suit he so desires? I will play to find out.
