Stellar Horizons Basic Set

Stellar Horizons is a skill based science fiction game set in the near future that utilizes a percentile system for task resolution. The rules are easy to learn and the system is quick to play, with rules designed to stay in the background so that role-playing your character can take center stage. This unique system is based on the philosophy of cinematic realism. This means that if it can be accomplished by a character in a movie, book, or television series then it can be attempted by your characters.

The characters of Stellar Horizons can be either Human or one of three other different alien species. Each alien character has its own set of unique traits and abilities. These range from the psionic talents of the Krylans, to the four armed insectoid Rogue Hydrax, to the feral winged Sha'kavri. Each character then selects a culture to belong to giving added depth. A full system of advantages, disadvantages, and quirks is also available to further customize your character and make them each truly unique.

The game begins with the two-book Stellar Horizons Basic Set. The first book in the set is the 96 page Players Guide. In the first twenty page section this book details the rich background history and vast interstellar stage where the game takes place. Each major alien culture is detailed as are the prominent Terran nations. Important locations, NPC's, and organizations are also listed. The remainder of the manual instructs players in the character creation process, task resolution system, and describes the equipment available to them. The second book in the set is the 64 page Director's Guide. It details how to create and run adventures of your own. Special rules, alien species information, critical hit charts, NPC generation, and star system creation rules make up the remainder of the book. There is even a ready-to-play introductory adventure to help you get your campaign off the ground and amongst the stars!
