  • GURPS Third Edition Jack Vance's Planet of Adventure by James L
    GURPS Third Edition Jack Vance's Planet of Adventure By James L. Cambias Introduction Far off in space floats a planet with ale-colored skies… Jack Vance took us there. Vance introduced delighted Earthlings to the people, creatures, and customs of Tschai. It's a world of danger, where humans are ruled and exploited by strange alien races. With Vance's hero Adam Reith as your tour guide, learn the awful secrets of the Chasch, foil the treacherous agents of the Wanek, escape the hunters of the Dirdir, venture into the underworld labyrinth of the Pnume, and meet vivid characters like Traz Onmale, Zap 210, and the appalling Aila Woudiver. GURPS Planet of Adventure lets you plan your own excursions on Tschai. Retrace Adam Reith's footsteps as intrepid scouts for Earth, or play natives of Tschai just trying to survive and make a few sequins. Tschai's depth and variety cry out for a long visit, with time to admire the scenery and get a feel for the place. A talented author like Vance can imply a tremendous amount in just a few sentences. The game designer has to turn those references into rules and complete explanations. He can invent some things, but not too much… the feel of the original novels must shine through. If any errors remain, they are entirely the designer's fault. Some of Tschai's mysteries have been left unsolved. What's the connection among the Pnume, the Phung, and the night-hounds? What are the goals of the Wanek? What will Earth do when it learns about Tschai? Those are for individual GMs to decide.
