Orc revolutionaries in love! Giant-sized mythic mecha! Swashbuckling cats in the far future! Hard-boiled and haunted police detectives! Whether you’re a fan of genres and genre mash-ups covering the full spectrum of RPG worlds and settings, or you’re just looking for a tabletop game system you can customize to your own specifications, Cortex Prime is primed for you. Includes three sample Spotlight settings ready to go: Eidolon Alpha, Hammerheads, and TRACE 2.0.
GAMEPLAY BASICS
- Narrative-focused traits and abilities that quickly bring your character and stories to life in ways that make sense for the genres you prefer.
- A simple dice-pool-based mechanic in which you add two of your dice results together and compare against an opposing roll. Uses polyhedral gaming dice of four, six, eight, ten, and twelve sides.
- Player-centered choices allow for flaws and limits to manifest when the player feels they’re most effective. “Hitches” (dice results of 1) generate interesting immediate complications and long-term player benefits.
- Session-based play recognizes that both one-shot stories and extended campaigns are made richer by focusing on the immediacy of what happens at the table—either in person or online.
Key Selling Points
- An exhaustive, award-winning tabletop roleplaying game system. Refined and redesigned for a new, digitally supported generation.
- Entirely modular and packed with advice, examples, and options. Build your own roleplaying game primed by Cortex using hundreds of mods, traits, and mechanics, using themes and genres you already know and love.
- Flagship evergreen product with full digital support. Cortex has existed in one form or another for over twenty years, powering multiple licensed roleplaying games. Two exciting new games have already been announced for 2021: Tales of Xadia: The Dragon Prince Roleplaying Game and Legends of Grayskull: The Masters of the Universe Roleplaying Game.

Just as described
Like I needed one more thing on my countertop! But it's coffee, so I'll make it work out. This is first product of it's type that I've used. I've seen it offered in coffee shops and thought that slower drip process must create a nice coffee. So, I've tried and I love it. Just follow the instructions, and get the filters at the same time or pick some up at your grocery store. If you're like me, you'll want to try it out right away.
I enjoy a dark roast and this really improved the flavor of my usual brand of coffee. The only thing that concerns me is the beaker is made of pretty thin glass. I'm wondering if thicker glass would also help to keep the brew hot as I make enough for two cups. Overall, I'm really happy to have found this.

Durable glass coffee container, nice to use
Previously, we were using an old metal coffee can to store our coffee. The problem is that because it was not transparent, we found ourselves frequently running out of coffee. Out of sight, out of mind.
This glass container lets us see how much coffee we have left, but the fact that the glass bottom didn't appear to be reinforced had concerned me somewhat, particularly because our kitchen counter is hard ceramic tile.
Well, it seems that these glass containers are made of borosilicate glass, which is a special glass made with boron that has superior strength and durability. Apparently, borosilicate glass is made at a higher temperature, and slowly cooled to room temperature in a process called annealing. Annealing involves controlled cooling to relieve internal stresses and improve the strength and durability of the glassware. Still, I wish that the base of the glass container was thicker, like most bottles and jars.
The lid fits on snug and airtight, and there is a button on top that you can push to pump out air and create a vacuum seal. I cannot comment on the worth of this nifty aspect, as the taste of our coffee has not noticeably changed after we began storing our beans in this container.
Still, it is a nice container, it looks nice, appears to function well, and hasn't cracked yet. It even comes with a small sturdy steel coffee scoop. And we get to see our coffee all day long.

High quality
Bottom line - highly quality vacuum container - would recommend for use with products that are not used daily.
Ordered this for use to store my whole coffee beans. The product appears well crafted and the glass is high quality. After washing and drying the product, I loaded it up with a pound of coffee and this sealed extremely well. It is pretty much impossible to remove the lid without using the release to break the vacuum.
However, after using this for a few days I started to feel like it was a little more work than I wanted to do on a daily basis. It seems to take a while until the button stayed down at the recommend level - I'd rather just push a button once, slid the lid on and release to seal the container than have to push the button 30-40 times to get a vacuum seal.
If you stock up on coffee when there is a good sale, I still wouldn't recommend this for longer term coffee storage, simply because it is a clear container - coffee slowly degrades when exposed to light so it should be an opaque material. I am now using this to store my ground corn (polenta) to ensure it stays fresh and keeps any bugs out that may get into the pantry - after one experience with pantry moths, I don't take chances and now put all my grain in good quality containers. Since I only make polenta about once a month, I don't mind the time/effort it takes to reseal.
Overall, this seems to be a well crafted and high quality product. However, it does seem to be a little on the expensive side for what you get and just didn't work out for me (as originally intended). Fortunately, I did find a good use for it.

Awesome!
I have tried so many ways of keeping my coffee beans fresh. This cannister is the winner! It is a very high quality container made of Borosilicate Glass which has provided me the protection I need in order to maintain freshness. I am happy, beyond description, with how well this works! The wide mouth allows easy access to the beans until the last is used. And when it is time to clean it, I can easily wipe it out as well as put it in the dishwasher since it is also dish washer safe. I will consider getting a second one for storing other items that I want to keep fresh as well as visible (like cookies, etc).

For serious coffee connoisseurs
I got this coffee canister because I know that my coffee connoisseur, son will be staying at our home for a few months this spring. He invests in very good quality coffee beans and grinds his portions as needed. I know that this glass vacuum type jar will do the trick in keeping the beans fresh so that the oils don't dry out. My husband and I use a flip top hinged canister for our more regular grind and the speed at which my husband drinks coffee means that it's usually quite fresh without the vacuum additional feature. I would caution that it took a hot minute to figure out how it work and wasn't easy to get open the first time outta the blocks. Read the instructions so you get familiar with home the air is extracted and how to release the pressure to open the canister.
