- Reviewed in the United States on September 9, 2022I chose to purchase the book from this seller, Titan Comics, even though there were other sellers offering the same book at a lower price, because from the condition descriptions, theirs was written as though they were actually talking about the specific book I was interested in buying, and not just giving a copy-paste description of the condition that was based on a broad classification that had been lumped into.
I was not disappointed. The book was in exactly the condition as described by the seller, and they took great care in packaging it with stiff cardboard, so that it would not be bent or damaged by the postal service. The delivery was also speedy!
- Reviewed in the United States on January 26, 2013I ignored this book at first (I actually just started playing the RPG maybe a month ago). I purchased the Ultimate Alien Anthology sure it would have everything from the original plus more. I never even checked to see what was in the AA. To date I have the Revised Core Rulebook, the Ultimate Alien Anthology, the Dark Side Sourcebook, the Tatooine book, the Living Force, the Rebellion Era Sourcebook and the Core Planets Guide as well as the Outer Rim Guide.
I was desperate to find the stats for a Gundark for an upcomming game (and quite upset they were not in any of the books). So I looked online, apparently the book they are in is this one. I've looked through it and I was stunned by the ammount of great content that I had missed out on. Sure a lot of it cam be found in other books, and there may be less species than I would like. Some might complain that the art is meh. But to me that doesn't matter because while it may not be super stylish, it was able to deliver some great content. I really think both the AA and the UAA are needed for any GM. Just my thoughts! But hey I'm a newbie to RP'ing so what do I know?
- Reviewed in the United States on September 8, 2011This book provides a brief history, typical personality description, and a physical description for each race. You will also find a brief description of the alien's home world as well as all the information necessary to play the race as a character or NPC. There is art accompanying each race however, this artwork is the main reason that I cannot give it 5 stars. While the quality is good, in a few cases it is obvious that the artist did not read the physical description of the species.
- Reviewed in the United States on April 26, 2003I own a copy of this... and i own a copy of the Ultimate Alien Anthology. I can say that despite popular opinion... the smaller Alien Anthology is still something i use quite often. Why?
Alien Anthology has several species that you could use, more than enough for any campaign that i would write. Granted i do like the larger selection the Ultimate Alien Anthology offers, the smaller version has more than enough for me and more than I'll probably ever use. It also has creatures, non playable species that the Ultimate Alien Anthology doesn't have. It also has guidelines on how to create your own creature and descriptions of creature skills and feats. Granted the Ultimate Alien Anthology has 180 species, pretige clases, new skills and feats, it doens't have predators, herd animals, vermin and scavangers.
Don't misunderstand, the Ultimate AA is a very very good resource for any GM, right up there with the Arms and Equipment Guide. The Ultimate AA lists out the species like they do in the book, with personality desriptions, sample names, adventurer types and whether or not Force users exist among the species, which the Alien Anthology doesn't. But if you are running an adventure and need a preditorial cat, the Ultimate Alien anthology will tell you how to hunt one, which speices hunt them, which prestige class to get to tame then, feed them, hunt them, breed them... but won't tell you a thing actually telling you what a preditorial cat is. It has speices ranging from the Space Slug to the Vornskr. And there aren't any repeats either... those mentioned in the RCR are not in the AA, creatures mentioned in the Power of the Jedi, Darkside, NJO or other source books are not in the Alien anthology. So is it still worth getting? Yes. I use it more often than my Ultimate Alien anthology because it is smaller, easier to navigate, easier to read, has more variety (not just playable species) and still a large selection of playable species.
If you are a GM you should own this and the Ultimate Alien Anthology. It maybe a marketing ploy, but it is still a vital piece of my campaign writing.
- Reviewed in the United States on April 14, 2013I ordered this book to help a friend who wanted to get into a Sci-Fi / Future based game as a way to incorporate more than just the standard Dungeons and Dragons Races. Having 100+ possible races to choose from should give plenty of options. Hopefully they will branch out into a completely different setting, now that they have an example of what awaits them.
