Book Description

Publication Date: 1988

"INTRODUCTION The ALBEDO Role Playing Game is based on ERMA FELNA, EOF, the feature story in the comic book "ALBEDO Anthropomorphics." Erma's story is a dramatic "hard" science fiction tale, with the unusual twist of having characters that are "funny animals." The funny animal format gives the story a strikingly different visual effect, and is a major factor in the scenario's unusual background material. The anthropomorphic character races are effectively portrayed as races in their own right rather than simply being people dressed in furry animal suits. The ALBEDO Role Playing Game aims to be very different from the run-of-the-mill science fiction adventure game. Since the ERMA FELNA story relies upon character interaction and socio-political plot and intrigue to provide its plotline, the game allows this type of action to be role-played. Although the game can be played as a "shoot-'em-up" the role playing game contains some easily useable rules for simulating character personalities, love, hate, loyalty and treachery. Thus clever adventure plots, political intrigue and interpersonal relations become readily playable, encouraging a very different type of playing style. The game's background material is notable for its well thought out technological base, and the unique society which it describes. The game includes details on languages and alphabet, social attitudes and day-to-day life, as well as outlining dozens of different races. One of the game's strongest points is the quality of its artwork, which is all done by the artist and writer of the ERMA FELNA, EOF story, Steve Gallacci. The abundant illustrations give the reader a clear view of the universe of ERMA FELNA, and includes technical artwork."
