A Myriad of Sci-Fi Options for the Entropic Gaming System! Entropic

A myriad of sci-fi options for the Entropic Gaming System!

Entropic Heroes: Science Fiction is the first companion book to the EGS core rulebook, and provides a wealth of options for creating sci-fi characters, adventures, and campaigns! This book not only contains the sci-fi toolkits needed to fill your sandbox setting, it also provides a base sandbox setting, called the Argo Galaxy, for GMs to host their campaigns. To avoid limiting GMs on their available options, guidance is provided for running all manner of sci-fi games including space opera, pulp sci-fi, military sci-fi, post-apocalyptic, and much more.

Entropic Heroes: Science Fiction is for players and GMs and includes:

● Sci-fi Backgrounds with a toolkit to create custom ones. ● High technology equipment to fill your sci-fi games. ● Weird Character concepts based on science and technology. ● Guidance on using these options in different sci-fi settings. ● A toolkit for building sci-fi settings. ● A toolkit for building sci-fi missions. ● Sample missions. ● … and much more!

Entropic Heroes: Science Fiction is not a standalone supplement and requires the Entropic Gaming System core rulebook. For GMs needing adversaries to pit the PCs against, pick-up the Xenopedia for a collection of unique xenos.
