This is a fantastic work of absurdist art. I just received the hardback and man it is ever a bloated masterpiece. I love Apollo everything, and this spoke to me on a visceral level.

One question: What is an elevator pitch I can use when I encounter puzzled looks from people who are not the Apollo nut I am?

I have had people ask me, "What's the point?" They can't seem to wrap their heads around not getting XP, a character sheet, or a wild adventure. They hear the words "mundane" or "absurdist," and their eyes glass over.

Any advice besides getting new friends?

I have no idea!  Absolutely none.  Maybe just do it?  

Stan:  I don't want to play this.  There's no character sheet.

Kcnieman:  There's no charsheet anywhere in the worksite?  Mission Control says to check your auxiliary R-A-2 pouch.  

Stan:  What?  No.

Kcnieman:  Look on your right leg, bright orange stripe.  Pull it and it velcros off.

Stan:  No, I want to do D&D.

 Kcnieman:  The pouch has a clabber tie to untwist, then the packet unrolls.  Charsheet is a pull out in the third case slot.

Stan:  Stop.

Kcnieman:  Okay.
