Deep7 publishing took on the nearly impossible task of converting the massive Red Dwarf universe of TV and making it into a fun RPG experience. Amazingly, they pull it off nearly flawlessly.

The game mechanics are designed in such a way that even a total novice can easily memorize them (unlike other, more complicated systems). This is not to say, however, that the game is overly simplistic. The depth of the game is such that experienced RP'ers will find enough material keep them engaged in the game.

I've run dozens of games using just this book and have never had a bad experience. Those new to the idea of role-playing love the comic nature of the game and the simplistic game mechanics. Long-time players will love the chance to really let loose with their characters and outrageous plot.

In short, buy this book. You won't regret it.

I got this because I own the entire series and loved it, the rules are so easy and quite fun.

This game is a great find. A friend brought it over and we were reading\playing almost as soon as I got a copy.
Cult classic fans will love reliving and RPG fan's will love the new directions you can take it. I highly suggest it.

This was the first RPG I even got. I didn't get to actually play it till about 8 years after getting it though. All I did was fined out that a friend of mine was into RPGs and Red Dwarf and we created a gaming group which has since lasted ~4 years. It was the first game I DMed and Played and since then I have played Paranoia(Similar system), Spyrcraft, and of course D&D. It was a fun experience, and I am currently thinking of starting up again once our current game is done.

I bought this for my friend's birthday, he's a fantastic DM in dnd and he grew up with Red Dwarf. He recently got me hooked on the show. He loved this book. We have yet to play, but just skimming through it we can tell it's going to be a blast.
