A Review of the Role Playing Game Supplement LSD: Liquid Science Doom – A Troika Zine

LSD: Liquid Science Doom – A Troika Zine by Roz Leahy is a role playing game supplement published by Two Rats Press for use with Troika! Numinous Edition.

The supplement is available as a 16-page PDF from itch for £3 but was purchased at a reduced price as part of a special bundle. One page is the front cover and one the front matter.

The first page of content, Credence, has some brief details on the city, Credence.

The Tent City is the city of nomads outside the city walls. There are details on the mayor of Tent City.

The Walls briefly describes the plastic walls of Credence.

The Drydocks describes the district and an NPC.

The City Itself gives an overview of the city, where water is plentiful but cursed.

The Ziggurat is at the centre of Credence and is the source of the water. There are details of ten market stalls and the city’s ruler.

Cosmo’s Factory is a place where automata, weapons and cybernetics can be purchased, and describes another NPC.

The Sultanate explains that this empire invaded Credence a decade ago and now has an agreement with the ruler. The general of the Sultan’s forces is described.

Cartographers Guild gives some details on this.

The University was formerly an institute of renown until its destruction.

The Curse explains how the curse on the waters in the city works, with a d6 table of possibilities.

The Gods describes nine dead gods.

LSD: Liquid Science Doom – A Troika Zine in Review

The PDF lacks bookmarks and is long enough that these would have been useful. Navigation could be better. The text maintains a single column format and appeared to be free of errors. There are a number of black and white illustrations, all of which appear to be custom. Presentation is okay.

There is probably less content in this supplement than might appear from the length, given how it is laid out. There are also almost no game stats or references used, meaning that this should be usable with other settings fairly easily, as long as they are settings that fit with the Troika! style (Hill Cantons is one that springs to mind). This is a decent little supplement that fits with the overall weirdness of Troika! LSD: Liquid Science Doom – A Troika Zine can be found on itch by clicking here.
