Hypertellurians (M)Anvil Edition

ADD TO WISHLIST >

Hypertellurians is a fast roleplaying game of low complexity, but high depth, with engaging character development and story.

Key principles.

The players portray the Hypertellurians: adventuring the length and breadth of the Ultracosm, in retro science fantasy style. Take control of one of six archetypes, and choose or create a unique concept by layering on fun, inventive, and story-driving powers.

Character creation.

Try Hypertellurians if you like:

  • quick character generation, with fast and daring gameplay,
  • compelling and out of this world character powers,
  • natural language rules that put the fun first,
  • an expedition to the Viridian moon in a stylish aethercraft,
  • and science fantasy adventure in the future of old!

The Royal.

Hypertellurians is a stand-alone roleplaying game system, but it is compatible enough with most old or modern fantasy adventure games for the GM to convert modules from those systems on the fly.

The Ultranaut.

Enjoy this lavishly illustrated tome, redolent with adventure, and play as a cursed shapeshifter, the wobbling dead, a pilot from a different time, a galvanic war machine, a sorcerous princess, an excitable half pony, an alien color, or so much more.

Room descriptions.

New in this revised and expanded edition, as well as lots more art, is a brand new 40 page starting adventure, with a focus on fun and ease of use at the table.

Volcano tunnels.

In additional to the main PDF, which is bookmarked and hyperlinked throughout, a separate PDF gathers a glossary and other tables for quick reference. And the 2-page rules summary has been updated for even greater clarity.

Rules summary.

I'm curious if the pdf/book contains exactly the same information as the online version, or does the online version show everything that is in the book (plus the scenario)?

The information is the same, yes, but the presentation differs, each playing to the strengths of their media. The PDF and book also have a lot more art than the web version.

Hi Maria. Due to the nature of print on demand, I can't replicate all the features of the offset print run with it, so I'm not sure yet. Our US distributor should have stock again soon though.

Can it be compatible with TinyD6?

Hi Anthony. I'm not very familiar with TinyD6 at the moment, but in Hypertellurians there are purposefully few stats, and more natural language rules. So far I've converted D&D, various OSR, DCC, Pathfinder, and other systems on the fly without breaking a sweat. Hope that helps.

I accidentally purchased the pdf only, when I intended to buy the pdf with the hardcover. Is there a way to adjust my order?

Not quite, but we can fix it. Drop me an email at shout@mottokrosh.com and I can sort you out with a coupon for the hardcover with the price for the PDF taken off.

How does the system differ from other OSR systems?

Any chance that there will be a premium paper version made available? I find it does more justice to full colour art.

Possibly—I went with standard because the slightly muted, matte colors go nicely with the pulp aesthetic, but when I'm done with the upcoming conventions, I'll try out premium and see how it compares.

Cool. I hadn't thought of that.

Scanned image
These products were created by scanning an original printed edition. Most older books are in scanned image format because original digital layout files never existed or were no longer available from the publisher.

For PDF download editions, each page has been run through Optical Character Recognition (OCR) software to attempt to decipher the printed text. The result of this OCR process is placed invisibly behind the picture of each scanned page, to allow for text searching. However, any text in a given book set on a graphical background or in handwritten fonts would most likely not be picked up by the OCR software, and is therefore not searchable. Also, a few larger books may be resampled to fit into the system, and may not have this searchable text background.

For printed books, we have performed high-resolution scans of an original hardcopy of the book. We essentially digitally re-master the book. Unfortunately, the resulting quality of these books is not as high. It's the problem of making a copy of a copy. The text is fine for reading, but illustration work starts to run dark, pixellating and/or losing shades of grey. Moiré patterns may develop in photos. We mark clearly which print titles come from scanned image books so that you can make an informed purchase decision about the quality of what you will receive.

Original electronic format
These ebooks were created from the original electronic layout files, and therefore are fully text searchable. Also, their file size tends to be smaller than scanned image books. Most newer books are in the original electronic format. Both download and print editions of such books should be high quality.
