Nice book!

I enjoyed the 1st volume, and this one is full of more winning d66 tables.

I used it in my last game and it set off a whole new sub-plot.
One of the off the cuff NPCs in my long running Pirates of Drinax campaign, was a potential recruit into the pirate gang and happened to have the "Always Hungry" trait from the campaign intro random crew traits table.
The ship's doctor, who is kind of a mad scientist type, suggested he may have some sort of alien parasite or disease and insisted on examining the NPC, I pulled out the d66 Compendium 2 and rolled on the Disease Names table.

I've had post-game questions from the players, trying to find out more information on "Aslan Scratch", the result I happened to roll on that table.
Now they want to find a cure, and so they can recruit this guy and his friend into the pirate gang. I was asked between sessions "I was trying to read up on Aslan Scratch, I cant find it in the core rulebook. How are we gonna cure this thing?" Great thing is, it wasn't even the doctor's player asking, but the pilot's player. (BTW: the doctor's player is happy too, because he gets more samples in his PC's collection of weird biological agents to use in various "experiments of questionable ethics...")

This isn't the first time a roll on one of your d66 compendium tables was, in my mind, providing just a bit of spur of the moment fluff, but turned into a significant plot aspect.
I love these books / tables. They spur my creativity, especially useful on days when I'm not feeling creative (usually due to a long, difficult work day before the game...)

OK, that got longer than I expected....
