4.0 out of 5 stars Useful information on Orgotek and the FSA, Nov 24 2003
By A. Lee "Aethernaut" (Baton Rouge, LA USA) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
America Offline was written like the other Psi Order/ Area books of Trinity. The color section contains general information that most people in the game world would have access to. The black and white section has information that is mostly for storytellers.

The sections on Orgotek were good. The subdivisions provide more choices for PCs who don't want to play a corporate drone or an engineer. Orgotek's goals and beliefs make it very PC-friendly. It generally isn't a big evil corporation like Pentex. The section on alternative Electrokinetic powers was very interesting. The technology section was rather light considering the fact that Orgotek makes a ton of neat bio/hardtech gadgets.

The section on the FSA gets the job done but wasn't very thorough. It does drive home that the U.S. is now a fascist empire where the rich are at the top and the masses are down at the bottom. There should have been more information on culture and the day-to-day activities of the citizens. It seemed like all the people in the FSA are either drones from Orwell's '1984', anarchists, or violent nomads. If that is what the people are like then the section on the FSA did its job. Also, there should have been more information on the FSA's Warmachine agenda. I wanted to know when the war of aggression will end. Perhaps the FSA's war will never end.

Despite some of my complaints this is a good book. It is a must for storytellers who want to run a Trinity game with Orgotek or in the FSA.
