Things That Go Bump in the Spaceship

Humans have a tendency to make mistakes, sometimes ones that have far-reaching and unforeseen effects. In our history we have wiped out entire species, transported exotic animals to places they really do not belong, accidently spread disease across the globe, and created technologies that we can barely control. In the future, this trend will continue, for it is human to err, especially when doing so with the best of intentions. What humans do, one can expect other sapient species have also done in the vastness of explored space. 

This publication contains three iconically creepy and dangerous alien lifeforms that can be inserted into any OGL games. On the one hand they are commentaries, as good sci-fi often is, on the dangers of technology either run amok or casually handled. On the other hand they are nasty critters that will happily eat your face off and are thus perfect fodder for games of suspense and terror. 

First is the Balthusian Bilge Rat, a hazardous xenomorphic leftover from a pre-human star-faring civilization, that assumes three successively more dangerous forms throughout its lifespan. 

Second is the Donner Virus, a dangerous viral infection that drives its victims to suicidal Violence, and for which we have included both a sample victim and a template that can be used to create custom monsters. 

Third is the predatory Hunter, an artificial lifeform created by an ancient race and placed throughout their long dead worlds-spanning civilization to guard important sites and to track intruders until it has killed them all. 

~ TSRPG (Travel-Sized RPG) ~

Be sure to check out Skirmisher Publishing's popular and Platinum-bestselling TSRPG (Travel-Sized RPG)! This rules-light storytelling game can easily be played anywhere, from the airport waiting area you are stuck in, to the overnight in some hotel where there is nothing to do (and also, of course, in your own home). All the basic rules fit on one page; no dice are needed; characters have just two stats; and any bookkeeping that might be required can be done on a cocktail napkin with a pen borrowed from a waiter. TSRPG is fully supported with sourcebooks that include "Arms, Armor & More," "Wands, Wagons, Whips & More," and "OS-TSRPG," along with 10 compelling scenarios, "A Long Way to the Top," "Beating Around the Bush," "A Midsummer Night's Scheme," "On the Plane of Magma," "A Violet Shade of Death," "A Rose for Erato," "Into the Terrorium," "Whiskey in the Jar," "Krampusnacht: Night of the Krampus!," and "Temple of the Banished Suns," all of which include pregenerated characters and the basic rules for the game, allowing them to function as quick-starts for it. We have also had TSRPG translated into a number of other languages, including German (along with three adventures, „Eine Rose für Erato,“ „Auf der Ebene des Magmas,“ and „Tempel der Verbannten Sonnen,“ along with the „OS-TSRPG" supplement), Spanish (along with four adventures, "Una Rosa Para Erato," "Un Tono Violeta de Muerte," ""¡El Plan de Una Noche de Verano"," and "En el Plano de Magma" and the "Armas, Armaduras y Más" and "Varitas, Vagones, Látigos y Más!" supplements), and Ukrainian!
