Alien Breeds

ADD TO WISHLIST >

What would an ocean be without a monster lurking in the dark? It would be like sleep without dreams.   [Werner Herzog]

 ALIEN BREEDS is a roleplaying supplement for the Cepheus Engine and other classic 2D6 SF roleplaying games.  It details a new species of hostile alien predator with both an unnerving and horrific lifecycle as well as an ability to mutate ad hoc to suit its current environment. ALIEN BREEDS works well within Zozer Games’  own SF setting called HOSTILE, but it can be used in any Cepheus Engine game – as long as your players can handle this beast… and there is certainly no guarantee of that!

Included with the book is a typical colony installation. It is a fairly small example, big enough to hold may be 50 or 60 people, enough for an extended science survey, a prospecting mission or the maintenance of some new equipment on planet – perhaps a powerplant, refinery, test mine or atmosphere processor.

The colony layout is used in the included adventure – ‘Outbreak’.

I snagged the Lulu version an other than the awkward size, it's very good but why doesn't it have the pregens? Is there another way (other than buying Hostile) to get the pregens for the adventure in Alien Breeds?

Larry, if you want to do that. That's fine. Print it however you like. Please don't distribute it on Lulu, however.

Is a (battle)map of the colony installation included? At this price, it may be worth picking up for that reason alone, even for non-Cepheus use.

Yes Mark, Ian Stead has produced very nice deckplans of the entire self-contained colony. Have a look at the Alien Breeds webpage to see two of the images before you decide. I planned the colony to be modular and useable again and again in different configurations, on different worlds (or underwater) and at different scales: https://www.paulelliottbooks.com/alien-breeds.html

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.

Most newer books are in the original electronic format. Both download and print editions of such books should be high quality.
