Cepheus Quantum Revised Edition

ADD TO WISHLIST >

Ever needed to run a quick sci-fi game at a convention without much time for the players to go through the rules? Ever wanted to introduce your friends to sci-fi RPGs with ease? Look no further! Cepheus Quantum Revised Edition provides streamlined, simple rules for exciting sci-fi adventures - which fits on a single sheet of paper! (the two sides of one page). These rules use a simple 2D6 skill mechanic and includes lightning-fast character creation, adventuring equipment, and rules for personnel, vehicle, and starship combat - and even star travel and character advancement!

For further, more detailed sci-fi adventures, we recommend Cepheus Deluxe: Enhanced Edition - our full-scale 2D6 sci-fi role-playing game.

Cepheus Quantum comes in both A4 and US Letter formats for easy printing, as well as an editable DOCX file.

I notice on the revised version ship to ship combat, there is no way a Light weapon can damage an Armored spacecraft, so Fighters, Scouts and Merchants are ineffective against say, a Corsair. Is there a work around for this?

Was this inspired by 5-point fudge?

In fact, some inspiration came from Microlight M20.

I'd like to see an Editable version for those fast mods before Saturday's game. (As an example. I don't need it before Saturday.)

Sincerely, this is the best version of Cepheus. The emphasis, even outside of a one-shot, is that of rulings and world-realism. All of the crunch gets out of the way of fantastic play. Love it.

Hi Omer! Sorry if this has been asked/answered elsewhere. Is there a conversion formula for Characters drawn-up in "regular" CE, to Quantum CE? Thanks!

Not a clear-cut formula. For Lifeblood, sum up STR and DEX. Skills would be a rough equivalent - e.g. soneone with Pilot or Vacc Suit/Zero-G will have Space, Gun Combat/Melee/Gunnery becomes Combat, and so on.

A suggestion - add an Engineer career, maybe with Combat-0, Knowledge-1, Physical-0, Technical-3?

Nice! One page Traveller-ish game... Do a one page Hammer's Slammers style adventure to go alone with it :D Or a bug hunt thing... Adventures with lots of shooting are usually good for quick one shot games.

Indeed, I have a star-marine variant of this in mind... Probably with a bug hunt!

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.
