GURPS Classic: Space Bestiary

ADD TO WISHLIST >

The Extraterrestrial Zoo

In the outer reaches of the galaxy, life can take weird forms indeed. The GURPS Space Bestiary presents over 300 extraterrestrial creatures for the science fiction roleplaying campaign.

In addition to strange and dangerous variations on earthly animals, this book contains examples of silicon life, crystalline creatures, energy and liquid beings, vacuum dwellers, and many more bizarre lifeforms.

Inside you'll find fierce predators, treachers trappers, gigantic herd beasts, carnivorous plants, scientific curiosities, and valuable rarities. All are completely defined and cross-referenced to make it easy for the GM to pick just the right creatures to populate his campaign world . . . and there are over 100 detailed illustrations.

The creatures are organized according to habitat, including every earth-type environment, plus interstellar space and other exotic, hostile places where man could never survive. There is even a special section on the pets and domestic animals of a spacefaring society!

The Space Bestiary isn't just for GMs running a GURPS Space campaign. A fantasy, horror, or post-holocaust game needs strange monsters too. And some of the nastier beasts can even challenge a team of supers!

Also included is advice for the GM who wants to create his own creatures – features to emphasize, creative ways to let the beasts interact with the PCs, and hints for devising ecologically sound and believable animals – and a bibliography of science fiction source material.

(This is a digital reprint of a GURPS Third Edition product.)

Bought this over at Warehouse23-- had no idea Steve Jackson games were on this site! Great, cheap PDF. The creatures are highly creative and are sorted by biome/location. Even though the stats are for Gurps Classic, there are dozens of neat creatures to inspire any GM or creative writer.

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.
