Forbidden Lore: Technology
 |
Technologie von Raumschiffen¸ mysteriöse Alienartefakte und vor allem: Was sagt die Kirche dazu?
The weird world of Fading Suns technology is revealed¸ from starships to ominous psychic artifacts. But beware: the Church claims that such items can endanger the soul¸ and the Inquisitor"s flameguns are ever ready to burn those who dare to use such proscribed and sinful tech. Includes enough equipment lists to choke a Vorox.
This is the technology book for the Fading Suns game. Unlike most such works¸ this is not a 'build the gadget' book. Instead¸ it outlines where the state of technology is¸ where it has been and how it got to be the way it is. There are sections on basic technological tools¸ including transportation¸ cybernetics and computers¸ starships¸ weaponry¸ and 'Weird Tech'¸ including relic technology from those who build the stargates and from alien races.
Crucible of Progress - or Engine of Sin? Technology in the Known Worlds is not what it once was. Science fell from its pinnicle with the rise of feudal lords and superstitious priests¸ stamped out by ignorance and fear. Few now dare to ignite the fires of progress¸ to build anew. Instead¸ engineers pick over the bones of the past to revive ancient war machines for their masters. Visionaries are rare¸ working under stigma of heresy. Their patchwork creations - whether robots or refrigerators - are considered monsters by the Church. For those who spurn the laws of the Church and construct demons of metal and lightning¸ there is no escape from the wrath of the Inquisition. Forbidden Lore: Technology includes information on: starships¸ artillery¸ vehicles¸ Church law¸ Known Worlds economics¸ think machines¸ golems¸ cybernetics¸ psychic tech¸ Vau Tech and alien artifacts. A must for well-equipped heretics everywhere.
