Stars of Empire Referee's Book

ADD TO WISHLIST >

This is the Referee's reference book to the Stars of Empire game Universe. It contains information on cultures, creatures, and climate across the solar system. Information on how to be a GM for this setting is provided. This includes rules on how Player Characters can design inventions and other major projects with a unique and detailed system. Rules are clarified, and examples of play are included.Stars of Empire is a role-playing game in which the Victorian Powers have discovered space flight and are striking out across the vast darkness of interplanetary space. As they explore frontiers on Earth, Luna Mars, and Venus, they encounter transplanted populations of humans, ancient and terrible alien races, and ferocious exotic beasts, until 1892 each considered the other Great Powers to be their biggest rivals. It was in that year The Hive broke free in Devon and threatened more than just the balance of power on Earth. The Hive put the very existence of humanity at stake. Stars of Empire is a stand-alone gamebook. It contains the core role-playing rules, based on Black Pigeon Press' Hacktastic system and a detailed and dangerous universe setting. The Victorian in Our Time Line was a period of exploration and scientific achievement, military conflict, and colonial conquest and social upheaval. In Stars of Empire, aerial and space travel have been cleverly grafted into this historical fabric. Players will be able to interact on not only Earth but other worlds as well.Mars is home to a race of ancient aliens, powerful dangerous and unpredictable to the minds of men. Their true powers and purposes are shrouded in mystery. It is known that for many thousands of years, they have harvested humans from Earth for use as slaves. With this human workforce, Mars has been transformed from a lifeless rock into a tropical greenhouse of a world. Venus, beneath its thick atmosphere, is a strange mix of dark basalt plains and humid cloud forests. Rules include character generation, combat, and detailed sections allowing characters to develop engineering projects, scientific theories, or inventions.

I don't see any text blurb for this publication.

An unintended omission I'm sure.

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.
