5.0 out of 5 stars A marvleous sourcebook!, March 31, 2011

This review is from: Byzantium Secundus (Fading Suns) (Paperback)

It looks like I am the first reviewer of this epic and clever sourcebook, so here I go. First of all, I have never played the game. It is a vast future history that I have been illustrating since 1998. Byzantium Secundus is a planet thats not too far from Earth and has become the capitol of the Empire. It has all of the drama and pathos that you may find in Rome, New York City or Jerusalem. There is a twisted darkness on this world that alway becons me to explore further.

I have read every page several times, know all of the continents, cities and intrigues inside and out. I have my characters visit this somewhat fractured world from time to time. I wont give too many spoilers, yet with the next edition being relesed, I see this as a hot product.
