HOSTILE - Welcome to a gritty, retro-tech sci-fi setting ...
HOSTILE is Zozer Games' popular science fiction roleplaying setting for the 2D6 Cepheus Engine rules. Inspired by movies like Outland and Alien, this gritty, near future setting presents a universe of mining installations, harsh moons, industrial facilities, hostile planets and brutal, utilitarian spacecraft. Games feature down-to-earth characters, such as spacers, miners, explorers and rover drivers – the folks who get things done out here in the lonely and hostile star systems of the American Sector. None of the habitable worlds are a paradise and most aren’t remotely Earth-like; there is always a kink that makes life tough, whether it’s the biosphere, the seasons, the radiation, the atmosphere or one of a score of other deadly effects.
There is a slew of available supplements for this setting. You will also need a copy of Cepheus Engine to play. Find Out More |

GURPS ATOMIC HORROR - Still Selling!
GURPS ATOMIC HORROR
Science Runs Amok in B-Movie Adventures! The RPG of classic 1950s horror featuring flying saucers, radioactive ants and everything in-between! A well-loved worldbook for Steve Jackson's popular RPG GURPS. Released 1993 Paperback e-Book Preview HERE |
“I've never seen the first edition of this book, but if it contains half the information the second has it would be a great buy as well. The updated version is one of the best GURPS sourcebooks on the market, bursting with material that just about any roleplayer could use. Atomic Horror's stated goal is to recreate the era of the B-movies - the campy horror/sci-fi of the 50's and its mutant progeny, including modern films like Mars Attacks... Not only is Atomic Horror a faithful homage to those films, it's a historical sourcebook as detailed as the best GURPS has to offer.”
