4.0 out of 5 stars
Hard SF and Space Opera all in one package, January 19, 2000
This review is from: Outbound: An Explorer's Guide (Alternity Sci-Fi Roleplaying, Star Drive Setting) (Paperback)
Outbound is a resource book for players and GM's of the Alternity game who are looking for a campaign based upon exploration. It consists of three adventures,each having a different "feel" to it. One is good hard SF, the other is a military-based exploration and the third feels like a D&D dungeoncrawl in space.
After the adventures there are a few resources for creating explorer heroes as well as how to run an explorer campaign for GM's. Finally, there is a brief explanation of the Concord Survey Service. I particularly found the character templates the most useful as well as uncommon uses for common equipment in the PHB.
Overall, it's a good package. I've run two of the three adventures and my players were pleased. Definintely worth checking out.
