Normally I wouldn't write a review for a module for an RPG (I own a lot more books for D&D and Warhammer than I have reviewed).
But this book was just so much damned fun to read (especially the comic at the end of the book) that I couldn't not mention it.
This supplement allows you to relive the weirdness of the TMNT's interplanetary travels in TMNT: Book 2, and TMNT: Book 3.
