Guide to the Known Galaxy

ADD TO WISHLIST >

 “We have to consider the possibilty of xeno-cultural contamination, not just biological ontaimination. There is a very good chance that sooner or later, a xeno-visitor will arrive with the either the firepower, charisma or sheer economic muscle to completely reshape human civilization. We’ve seen it appen to other species- to the Thray, to the Cavepainters, to the Clee-Setti, to the Polyflor- alien contact hanges a planetary culture so radically that its recognizable, indigineous society effectively collaspes. here’s no reason to assume it can’t happen to homo sapiens."

United States Secretary of Defense 2038

The Guide to the Known Galaxy

The universe itself is several trillion years
old, and has been host to sentient life almost from
the first moment of its creation. Life has evolved in
the hearts of stars and in the deepest, coldest voids
between galaxies. The Milky Way galaxy is the
jewel of the universe, the axis upon which all of
material reality turns. Our galaxy is home to an
assortment of wonders, unmatched anywhere else in
this impossibly vast universe.


The Guide to the Known Galaxy is a
sourcebook for the Otherverse America campaign
setting, describing a dozen alien races common to
the universe. The new player races presented here
range from the relatively humanoid and comprehensible,
such as the Half Grey or the Thrayce, to
exotic, truly alien enigmas like the dimensionallydispersed
Jigsaw. These new aliens were built with a
specific campaign world in mind, but can easily be
used in any D20 Modern or Future campaign.


In addition, a new feat type is described:
Lifechain Feats. Lifechain feats give their recipient
an overwhelming genetic advantage, and provide the
character with supernatural talents….. at an enormously
high cost.


These Lifechain Feats, and the star-spanning
ecosystem and mythology they are part and parcel
of, form the basis for Otherverse cosmology and
galactic history.

All this and more are presented in this jam-packed 176page PDF presented by Otherverse Games.

I've never played this system, but I've bought just about every one of the Otherverse America products to raid for ideas, because I've bought some of my favorite products from this publisher. For someone running a sprawling, several year cosmic [...]

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.
