Explorers

ADD TO WISHLIST >

Explorers is a supplement for Cepheus Engine and for the gritty HOSTILE science fiction setting.

It provides all of the tools the explorer needs to tackle dangers and exotic encounters on remote worlds. Included within the book is a fully detailed survey ship, the USCS Castle Bravo; an in-depth look at both the Tharsis Armadillo All-Terrain Vehicle as well as the explorer’s habitat of choice: the Leyland-Okuda modular base series. The space suits of the HOSTILE universe are also featured, with a set of customisable options.

Finally, survey and exploration procedures are explained with advice and rules provided which will allow the referee to create a tense, unpredictable and (hopefully!) dangerous survey mission. These come with 36 uninhabited world descriptions for use in your game. 

  • Deckplan for the ATV
  • Deckplan for 9 modular base variants
  • Deckplan for the 300-ton survey ship, Castle Bravo
  • The state of exploration today
  • How to game a planetary expedition
  • 36 world descriptions for exploration use
  • Hex charts for your use
  • Vacc suits in depth, with 4 full colour full page adverts

This is the supplement I've been waiting for! It looks great so far--especially having bookmarks. Another quick hyperspace question or two: Do ships exit hyperspace at the hyperspace points, too? And, do you picture these hyperspace points as having dedicated stations or military forces on station?

Hi, yes ships exit hyperspace through these weak spots in space, the hyperspace points. They are not manned, however, there may be dozens in a single system.

I'm confused, did humanity invent hyperdrive in 2120 or 2150? I've seen dates for both.

First manned mission was in 2150, but interstellar drones began mapping routes from 2120. I need to get a history together for free distribution!

This was an instant buy and I'm enjoying the content, but I'm also seeing some honest mistakes in there. Does the Lulu print version already incorporate fixes that'll be coming to the PDF version as well, or are you still looking for feedbck? (and if so, how would you like to receive it?)

Janne, the document has not been sent off to the Lulu publishers yet. If you have any errata to report I can incorporate those immediately. Would you mind contacting me on the Zozer Games website? Unfortunately publishers cannot include web links, but a simple search will bring up Zozer Games.

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.
