I know what you’re thinking listener—and so does everyone else playing Psi World, a 1984 RPG released by Fantasy Games Unlimited! This surprisingly slim box set gives you everything you need to either…
That's just a first impression.
I could be totally wrong.
It's only a first impression.
And though the impression is strong, it never can hurt to question
Oh, they just changed my meds around, that's all.
Ah.
Plus, like, three cups of coffee today.
My first impression is, is this, like, some game that's deserving a big reboot and a re- revival? I don't know about any of that, but it is...
at the time, in 1984 when it came out, it would've been a great book to grab, not to play the role-playing system itself, although you could, but as a psionic system for whatever game you already have, 'cause you could integrate the rules easily.
That, those were my first impressions.
I'm like, "Oh, this, like, this is way better than the psionic system in, uh, AD&D," for example.
That is a low bar.
Not to talk any s-
Pretty low bar

Good, thank you.
Yeah.
Yeah, that's a low bar.
Corbett, as the only one who actually played this game back in the day.
Yeah, I dug out...
And yeah, I didn't think about that.
I, I dug out my character sheet, 'cause I keep a binder of all my character sheets, and my Psyworld sheet is right at the beginning of where my GURPS characters start popping up.
