Clarence Redd’s 2016 M‑Space is an SF table-top role-playing game.

M‑Space is published by Frostbyte Books, headquartered in Sweden. It is also the specific game that inspired me to do the BRP series of SFRPG reviews.

Here I am reviewing only FutureWorld. The other parts of the box set fall outside the purview of the BRP review series.
