Xenoscape: 2 Book Set (Text of Traditions & Creatures)

Xenoscape is a post-sci-fi RPG with primitive yet fantasy themes with a heavy emphasis on survival. Players take the roles of the rarest beings on Materia: the sentient ones. Materia is an alien world eons distant, where nature prevailed over the hard impact the Ancient Human Empire had by colonizing the planet. Materia, a world where the memory of human civilization has now faded, a plant kingdom marked by radioactive deserts and crystal forests, is a planet populated by bizarre and potentially lethal creatures, who will not hesitate to tear you to shreds to sate their hunger!

This two-book set includes both core Texts of the Xenoscape RPG.

Text of Traditions includes:

• The entire Xenoscape ruleset, easy to read and use.
• A guide to Materia: Its flora and fauna, its civilizations and dangers.
• 6 playable Species: Shrubs, Arthropoids, Clones, Mecha-Suits, Necrocordiceps and Squamata.
• 17 Paths to evolve your character in different ways.
• A detailed description of artifacts, weapons, resources, and materials.
• Adventure tips to get you playing right away.
• Different game modes for experienced and inexperienced players - or even to play without the help of the Narrator.

Text of Creatures includes:

• 70 creatures, illustrated and accompanied by an in-depth description of nutrition, habits, attacks, habitat and combat tactics.
• 13 NPCs famous for their deeds; each one complete with gear, background, survival tactics, and ready to jump into a game alongside (or against!) your characters.
• 3 narrative appendices: On the life-and-death cycles of the creatures of Materia; on the shelters and the few organized societies, and on the languages used by the inhabitants of the planet.
• A study of Materia's flora: 10 new plant species, each with its own characteristics, survival strategies and their uses.
• NPC sheets to keep an eye on the health and conditions of non-player characters or opponents during an adventure.
