Cepheus Engine / Traveller Setting by Monachus Press
The Gods Themselves is a TL 16 to 19 settling and culture for 2D6 SF RPGs. This is not a complete game, you will also need a set of RPG rules to play*.
The Year is 4300. Mankind has spread out towards Deneb. Humans and machines have become one culture, with AIs running society. Starships have become redundant, except in the border areas. The main culture is The FV. They are high technology but avoid violence if at all possible.
Most FV citizens live lives of unparalleled luxury but your character has things to do in the neighbouring cultures. Perhaps an FV citizen has become a hostage, or someone from the FV has set themselves up as an eternal ruler on some low tech world? Are rumours of a powerful alien culture true? Someone has to go and resolve the problem, that someone is your character.
While you can have any equipment you want, people from cultures outside the FV object to your very existence. The FV is seen as elitist and superior and its policy of expansion by attracting people (by providing better lives) is hated by the rulers of worlds outside the FV. Player Characters are essentially immortal, but they can be killed.
The Gods Themselves includes character, starship and world design, history and details of the FV. Part 2 contains star maps of various border areas and details of a few selected worlds. The 3rd part is a scenario to play. A character sheet is also included.
* Cepheus Deluxe, Cepheus Universal, Hostile, Kosmic or Traveller are all recommended.
The Gods Themselves is available through DriveThruRPG in PDF.
