Publication history
editOmnigon was designed by Dennis Craig, Scott Groves, Alan P. Widtmann, and Glenn Zaroski, and published by Omnigon Games Inc. in 1989 as a 60-page book.[1]
Reception
editStewart Wieck reviewed Omnigon in White Wolf #21 (June/July 1990), rating it a 2 out of 5 and stated that "In all, this game includes everything you need to play a SF campaign, and while the rules are usable, the game falls short of establishing a mood or interesting background."[2]
Lawrence Schick called the game system "simple and rather trite".[1]
