Another Bundle - Stellagamus Cepheus
Jun. 1st, 2022 08:09 pmSome SF RPGs based on the Cepheus Engine, a Traveller-like system. I think I've seen some material for it before but don't remember much about it.
( Stellagama Cepheus )
This is interesting, but it feels like a game that tries a little too hard to emulate its predecessor. It owes a lot to Traveller in concept and systems, although the settings are different, but unfortunately that feels quaintly old-fashioned today. Lots and lots of tables, relatively little on actual role-playing. Art is a very mixed bag ranging from computer-generated spaceships to fairly crude sketches. There are a reasonable number of female characters depicted, and some of them are actually wearing sensible clothing. A few unfortunately fall into the big boobs / big guns / tight spacesuit camp, which doesn't actually make much sense if you're trying for realism. Having said that, it's a fairly cheap offer and you do get a reasonable amount for your money.
