Posthuman Pathways is a transhumanist roleplaying game that focuses on the changing world and the sacrifices we make in the name of progress. It’s about the transformation of our society over a single lifetime, and what it means to be human.

Technology is changing us. We are transforming into beings both less and more than human. We abandon the frailties of human flesh and our simple creature comforts. We reach for lofty positions in this new society and leave our heritage in the rubble of our former world. Our minds and cultures expand, changing how we perceive the world.

In this game, you ask wondrous questions and discover terrifying answers. Every question is a path leading to an increasingly alien future. Discover what your character really cares for and what they are willing to sacrifice. Present your fellow players with hard choices and discover who their characters really are.

• How will technology transform society, and will it be worth the cost?
• What price are you willing to pay to transcend the human condition?
• When tomorrow comes, will you be ready?

What’s it like to play the game?

During the game, you play through a series of scenes. All of the players in this game have equal narrative control and creative authority. There is no single game master, since the players create opposition for each other during play. At the end of each scene, you rotate roles. Each scene has one player filling the role of Trailblazer, one as the Voyager, and one as the Guide.

  • The Trailblazer describes how the world changes and establishes how the scene begins.
  • The Voyager portrays a character who is struggling to adapt to the world.
  • The Guides portray the various elements that pressure the Voyager to make a hard choice.

Change is coming and the future is near.

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.

Most newer books are in the original electronic format. Both download and print editions of such books should be high quality.
