Core Rulebook by Zozer Games
This universal science fiction RPG allows players and Game Master to emulate most kinds of sci-fi gaming, from time travel or near future cyberpunk, to space opera; from modern-day Solar System exploration to a far future that enjoys antimatter power, matter transportation and food replicators. As much attention is given to low-tech societies as mid-tech and far ftuture, high-rech societies. You’ll find options for gunpowder weapons, disintegrators, fusion powerr, portable shield generators, flnt tool production and using beasts of burden. The scope of Cepheus Universal is huge.
The 2D6-based Cepheus rules are adaptable but not complex, and easy enough for players new to sci-fi gaming (or to roleplaying in general). Character creation is purely by design, and features a life path system that adds depth and which connects them to the setting. Create a character in 5 minutes or less.
Packed with material that you can use to build your setting, or adapt your favourite setting from a novel or movie, it includes systems for building not just characters, but starships, animals, robots, vehicles, AI machines, star systems, spacesuits … you name it. Pick the parts you need to build the type of setting you desire.
No setting is included, but three examples are provided to give you an idea of the scope of these rules.
Note that the core part of these rules previously featured in Zozer Game’s Hostile and Modern War RPGs.
Cepheus Universal is available through DriveThruRPG in PDF.
