I've heard the system referenced a few times and it's on sale currently

So I'm wondering what it is exactly. I understand it's d6, low crunch, more or less Planescape
But I'd like to know a bit more. Anyone has played it and has some more verbose take?

That was informative, thanks

Now I need to wrap my head around "science fantasy" ๐Ÿ˜†

Science Fantasy is usually a fantasy story in a setting typically associated with scifi. The classic example is Star Wars; it's it a world with spaceships and lasers, but it's about space wizards having swordfights.

I read that on TV tropes but it only makes me lost more. What I've skimmed so far, Troika sounds more like weird fantasy, where's the sci-fi part?

Unless...
It's in a world with spice-travel, stargates, spaceships and planets, only about "eldritch portal and non-euclidean labyrinth and golden-sailed barge between the uncountable crystal Spheres"?

@INeedMana There are some other posts about Troika keyworded from that post which may held. Acid Death Fantasy will probably be informative.
