FTL 2448 is an, uh, interesting game. I play another game from the same
maker - Stalking the Night Fantastic - which I found was perfect for a break
from serious role-playing of any sort. Stalking lends itself VERY well to
the B movie genre... which is good, because the internal system of the game
is really screwed. It (as well as FTL 2448) has a try-to-hard to mimic
reality system, which simply ends up getting very confusing and has far too
many loose ends.
Something else about FTL 2448... it's an old game. It's been hanging around
those "used" stores for over 5 years now, and nothing new is being produced.
Rish Tucholka (I'm sure I misspelled it) got a new fervor and reprinted a
bunch of his games, but nothing's really new. His latest is one called
"Incursion", which is about as new as it gets - and it's not really new,
just a remix of the old system with a new concept.
Don't get me wrong - I like the system (even though it's rather quirky), but
mostly because of it's amusement value.
Take this all for what it's worth (i.e. you got it free),
joe
