Suggested Price $2.99

A nano-game of interstellar crime and rebellion by Epidiah Ravachol.

Four game books in one, a not a single book over 470 words long!

This tiny package packs an entire cosmos of punches:

  • Character creation rules;
  • Rogue vessel creation rules;
  • Alien species, culture and environment creation rules;
  • Rules for handling long military campaigns as well as drawn-out courtships;
  • Rules for creating and violating alien taboos;
  • A full-color map of the entire galaxy;
  • Rules for interstellar travel and pursuit;
  • A complete account of the Seven Wonders of the Galaxy;
  • Rules for creating new and alien technology;
  • Calibration mechanics to make sure everyone is on the same page when it comes to the wacky, weird and powerful;
  • Guidelines for customizing technologies to the cultures that created them;
  • Customization rules for the player character’s personal gear;
  • And rules for building, repairing, inventing, constructing, jury rigging, and demolition on a deadline or at the sort of leisurely pace only interstellar travel can allow!

All of that, and the core game, in less than 2,000 words! You can see for yourself--the whole game is in the preview.

The background just makes it too hard to read. I gave up after a while and a couple attempts. It might be a great game but it's a terrribly rough read! [...]

Is there anyway to get a version without the background? It's nearly impossible to read because of it. Might be an amazing game but the background takes away so much from it as to make it nearly illegible. [...]

As always, I roll into a review ready to talk primarily about things only tangentially related to what I'm reviewing. If you don't feel like reading through all of it, here's the TL;DR version: this is a truly remarkable and above all else, complete, [...]

The graphical presentation is so bad it's almost unreadable: think 90's bad web sites, with ugly fonts over colourful space photographs. The content is, well almost nothing, actually. [...]

I am so excited to play this game. The ENTIRE rules for this beautiful game are in two pages. TWO PAGES! The rules are also the GM Screen. :) Except, there is no GM! That's right, no hours of prep work to be ruined by adventurers. No loo [...]

Scanned image
These products were created by scanning an original printed edition. Most older books are in scanned image format because original digital layout files never existed or were no longer available from the publisher.

For PDF download editions, each page has been run through Optical Character Recognition (OCR) software to attempt to decipher the printed text. The result of this OCR process is placed invisibly behind the picture of each scanned page, to allow for text searching. However, any text in a given book set on a graphical background or in handwritten fonts would most likely not be picked up by the OCR software, and is therefore not searchable. Also, a few larger books may be resampled to fit into the system, and may not have this searchable text background.

For printed books, we have performed high-resolution scans of an original hardcopy of the book. We essentially digitally re-master the book. Unfortunately, the resulting quality of these books is not as high. It's the problem of making a copy of a copy. The text is fine for reading, but illustration work starts to run dark, pixellating and/or losing shades of grey. Moiré patterns may develop in photos. We mark clearly which print titles come from scanned image books so that you can make an informed purchase decision about the quality of what you will receive.

Original electronic format
These ebooks were created from the original electronic layout files, and therefore are fully text searchable. Also, their file size tends to be smaller than scanned image books. Most newer books are in the original electronic format. Both download and print editions of such books should be high quality.
