For a manual of game rules and guidelines, this was actually fairly entertaining. Once I catch up on my DragonLance reading (and re-reading) and get the source material more firmly set in my head, I might consider running an online campaign using this book. Even though I am not currently gaming, the book was interesting and filled in some gaps in the DragonLance world that I was missing.

Fair warning, if you intend on reading a lot in this series, this manual contains quite a few spoilers, so show more you may want to wait to take a look at this until you've at least read the main cannon of the DragonLance time-line. show less

What it says; a role-playing game set in Whedon' Firefly universe. (Or 'Verse, as the setting would say.) Serenity uses the Cortex system, which has been adapted to several media properties licensed by Weis. Not a bad system in my experience, but the use of different dice for every roll made can get a mite complicated. Also a useful sourcebook for those enthralled by the short-lived series and movie.

The system is, in a world, terrible. It's difficult for rolls to succeed, even if you invest a lot of points in a skill.

I must admit, I wasn't overwhelmed with the system.
