2259 Earth!

2259 Earth! is a variant of futuristic science and moderate post-apocalyptic — taking place in the distant future, dystopian Earth has evolved and devolved several times, finally reaching a state where countries and governments no longer exist, but corporations instead run the world. Three classes of people are left—those employed by corporations, those that are unemployed and unable to work, and the few who work for themselves, often illegally, scraping out a meager existence.

The book is divided into three sections; the Historical Background chapter tells the story of how Earth evolved to its fragmented state by 2259AD. The Current Day section describes the Earth’s corporate landscape, powerful leaders and way of life for the planet’s inhabitants. Finally, the Starter Plots chapter provides possible starting points for game masters (GMs) running their first scenario in Earth 2259!

For the SRS Sci-Fi Variant, but easily adapted to any RPG system.

30+ pages, b&w interior, digest sized.

Future Expansion:  Suspended Transports, an adventure set in the 2259 Earth! setting.  Late 2017.

The sci-fi variant of SRS isn't necessarily needed for this supplement - actually, there is not a single SRS rule in the supplement. That said, I can put the SRS Sci-fi rule book (prototype) up on DriveThru for people that are interested.

Thanks for the reply.
The 2259 PDF mentioned the sci-fi variant (and any RPG system); and when I checked the website; it said TSRS6001 was 2015?
You mentioned a prototype?
So I'm guessing the sci-fi variant is still in the works (so to speak)?

Yes, the book still requires a full edit and more play-testing. With other projects leapfrogging it in the schedule and the light interest in the system, it's taken a back seat for some time. But, I can release it for those looking to give it a try.

Thanks. I'll keep that in mind.
Real life and other RPGs (including my own) at the moment taking up time.

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.
