I ran Death in Space a few days ago.
I'm not seeing how this is a horror system, but I did realize how Mork Borg it is when creating chareacts. Rolling 2d4 and substracting the later from the first is miles better than the comparison table every other MB uses.
I was a bit surprised by the "how you were meant do die" table. I didn't understand it at all, but used it anyway because I was testing the system and wanted to do it in good fatih. The conclusion we reached, and it kinda worked, is that the table is the shitty death you were destined to have as a regular joe, but instead you had a cool death doing stuff and living life. I'm not entirely sure if that's the point. If anyone can confirm or has another ake let me know.
