Once again a great supplement to Legacy, now inspired by Alpha Centauri.

I really liked the written content side of Worldfall. Different political views clash in a sci-fi setting on a new planet. It reminded me of Alpha Centauri right away, and, unsurprisingly, AC is mentioned as the main source of inspiration. However, any similar sci-fi (like Earth 2) could serve as well. The political groups (cabals) match usual earthly politics, but they still manage to get their sci-fi twist. I really liked the roleplaying suggestions provided for each cabal. In general, the rules do not diverge that much from vanilla Legacy but there is one big change in the creation of a planetary council, something like UN, which allows the cabals to play out their political struggles even more. What I personally did not like that much was Cangini's art that came across as too comics-like for the setting and topic. I would prefer something along the lines of political agitation posters. But the game itself looks great.
