Context Sensitive

ADD TO WISHLIST >

We are not alone in space. The discovery of an abandoned alien spaceship in the asteroid belt has answered this question once and for all and accelerated technological progress into the immeasurable. We've begun to colonize space. Life is ubiquitous there, but no traces of alien civilizations.

Until now...

Ender-2473 is a small research outpost, one of the bases farthest away from Earth. From there comes the news of an incredible discovery. Top secret! The world government is discussing the topic and will probably put together an expert commission. This gives "the company" time to take the find for itself.

Haste is called for, and only a small team can get there in time. But the lack of quantity is more than made up for by quality. Each and every member of the team has superhuman abilities. Some even claim they aren't even human any more...

The core of "Context Sensitive" is a relatively simple exploratory mission on a foreign planet, on which two research bases are located. The peculiarity lies in the different characters that the players take over, and in the interaction that will hopefully result from this. It is therefore particularly suitable for players who enjoy playing unusual characters and bringing them to life. The topic of "transhumanism" and the question of what makes a human human always resonates in the background.

The player characters are:

  • Chief, artifical AI in a flying box, team leader
  • Jochen Hell, cyborg, soldier, drone operator
  • Anahita Rahimi, medical doctor and carrier of multiple personalities
  • Atimur, genetically enhanced pilot
  • Lynne and Lynda Abbe, augmented research engineers, a pair of identical twins


The adventure uses the Cepheus Engine, but can be converted to other game systems without much problems. It comes with it's own hard sci-fi background set in the near future. It is suitable for 4-6 players, with six being the optimum.

Good to see how the 2d6 rules respond to some elements of more recent SF and games, with an interesting background that has its effect on the ship design. Information is terse in places, but I've had good results with other scenarios that needed [...]

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.
