Description (Specifications)
The Third Imperium, teaming with life and activity, is the source of countless adventures. However, outside the Imperium there exist worlds untouched by human hands. Aliens have shaped these worlds, worlds where exotic adventures can be had - where a completely new type of science fiction adventure prevails.
This module includes:
- Deep Metal: Far from their home, a diplomatic mission of Zhodani to the planet Parthina is charged with securing mineral supplies for the Consulate. However, a local minor race, reputed to have psionic abilities, helps uncover yet another deceitful Imperial plot.
- Prosperity for the Taking: As Vargr player characters, a team must locate and recover a Tukera Lines ship, stolen by Vargr corsairs who have broken away from the mighty Kforuzeng band. Only he who is charismatic enough and therefore powerful enough can come away with the prize - Prosperity.
- First Son, Lost Son: In the backwaters of the Aslan Hierate, a clan leader despairs of ever locating his first son, stolen from him twenty ftahea ago by a deceitful female. The player characters must track them down and bring the son to his birthright.
- Interdiction Zone: On a covert mission behind enemy lines, an Aslan team is forced down on a world with a primitive humanoid race. With rescue perhaps years in the future, they must carve their own niche in their new world.
And more: Four other scenarios are also included for other races:
- The Last Patrol for human characters
- No Credit Check for Vargr
- Ahriy Uprising for Aslan
- The Casteless for Droyne player-characters.
Alien Realms is also presented in a unique new format. each of the above scenarios has both a player's section, packed with information for the players to view, and a referee's section, for his eyes only. Information in the referee's section is organized so that the players might take several different approaches to their final goal, withoout bogging the referee down in endless detail.
