Heroes of the Solar System
 |
Heroes of the Solar System¸ the second sourcebook for Rocket Age¸ offers you a look at the heroes of the rocket set. The focus of Heroes of the Solar System is on the player characters¸ though Gamemasters will still find plot hooks and episode ideas galore.
This book is just filled with new ideas for familiar species¸ new organizations for your heroes to fight for (and sometimes against)¸ new equipment to use in their explorations and adventures¸ new character traits¸ and new species.
Heroes of the Solar System contains:
- 4 new types of sophont for you to play: the beloved Lizard Monkeys of Venus¸ the ancient Robomen of Mars¸ the winged Jovians of the skies of Jupiter and the utterly bizarre Metisians¸ cephalopodian soldiers of the Europans.
- Expanded background for each of the 13 sophonts from the Rocket Age rulebook. How long does a Maduri live? What sort of material culture do the Venusians have? Are all Martians lactose intolerant? The answers to these questions and more besides are in here!
- 10 new heroic organizations for your heroes to join up with - or for the Gamemaster to use as antagonists - from the Europan Emissary Corps to the International Comintern and the Rocket Rangers themselves. The structure¸ history and operations of each organization is fully detailed¸ along with a typical NPC¸ a selection of plot hooks and character packages for playing an agent of the organization.
- Over 50 new Traits for your characters to pick from¸ from Don't Die on Me! and Percussive Maintenance to Space Sick and Wanted Man¸ and more esoteric options besides.
