Points in Space: Starport Locations
In the dim corridors of a backwater starport¸ starfarers offer themselves to the maw of the Mad God¸ bitter men seek revenge outside the law¸ and strange aliens titter and scream at the sight of inhuman erotica! From grim tragedy to salty satire¸ this is Points in Space¸ a science-fiction roleplaying resource by S. John Ross¸ author of Among the Clans ¸ the Star Trek Narrators Toolkit ¸ GURPS Warehouse 23¸ Uresia: Grave of Heaven and more. Points in Space: Starport Locations describes 15 locations that might be found in any starport¸ orbital colony¸ or outpost. The locations can be used together¸ or inserted into any setting at need. Backstory¸ secrets¸ important NPCs¸ services provided¸ seeds for adventure and annotated floorplans accompany every one! There's more. The 40-page locations book also comes with a PDF of table-smothering 1:36 scale versions of every floorplan: fifteen tactical maps (arranged for tiled poster-print) for months and years of miniatures play (some alternate scales also included). The book even includes rules for an alien gambling game (complete with print-at-home cards). Points in Space is part of the All-Systems Library ™ ¸ Cumberland's line of rules-free gaming books. All-Systems titles contain no system-specific game rules whatsoever ¸ just the "good stuff" - the people¸ the places¸ the ideas¸ the sense of adventure you crave. Not in the mood for space opera? There are All-Systems Library™ titles for historical and fantasy games¸ too! From the vaults of Cumberland Games comes this¸ one of the earliest gaming PDFs ever sold! Now this dusty old artifact is available here (and it's not so dusty at all; things keep pretty well in space)! If you're used to my more recent work¸ you'll find the maps a bit simpler (I was just learning vector graphics back in 2000; see the preview above) but the writing and design still very much what you're used to from me (in fact¸ I think it's some of my best). Here's hoping you love it¸ it's an old soldier still ready to kick some butt.
