A pamphlet presenting a monster, a set of factions, and a set of supernatural abilities, all linked to a mysterious black hole.
The special abilities are fun, but I would have loved to see some more guidance on how to obtain them, and how to interact with the darkstar and the factions. Currently, the components of the pamphlet all feel quite disconnected, leaving it up to the warden to connect the dots and turn it into something gameable.
The text on the front side of the trifold is very small, making it difficult to read, especially on a black background. This is not helped by the module being provided as two pngs rather than a pdf.
(+) Great diverse range of powers for players to unlock, each providing unique uses and good advice on how to implement them
(+) Great word building to tie the horror into the world's observations and cultic obsessions
(+) Cleanly laid out while still taking some liberties to present its information in thematic ways
This kind of reminds me of the Clooney Version of Solaris if like the Warp from WH40K was outside the station. Good stuff!
Great cover art - The Dream looks spooky in pink silhouette! Love the new faction ideas, and the "You're OP and also you're probably dead now" approach to this Darkstar worship! Very cool!
A great set of powers that drain and destroy characters as they make use of them - I like that they all feel interesting without being overpowered, costly without being too punishing to learn or use, it's really good tightrope-walking. The eldritch, apocalyptic setting stuff and new factions don't quite feel like they've got enough room to breathe here, however.
Really pretty art!
I have never played Dead Space, but the moon sure looks big tonight. Very atmospheric! I love the slow creep. And if I make it not so obvious, affecting everyone, I can use it as a cult. I will use it, no doubt at all!
