Primus Star 2nd Edition is well on its way to being developed. It may still be in its early stages of polishing the core mechanics, but we're looking at adding the artwork soon. Right now it's just one person (me) working on the 2nd edition. Because of that, it's a long and arduous process. Despite that, however, I'm very excited for everything that's to come!

Please support if you can so that we can continue developing new games, but if you can not, please enjoy your time with Primus Star as we create Primus Star: New Frontiers, the answer to several suggestions and ideas from the community!

What is covered under "additional rules"? I'm looking for a good system for designing my own starships and maybe even a random star system generator.

Additional rules cover money, vital stats, the in game crafting system, religions, driving vehicles and piloting ships, hospitals, combat rules, and how food works. We'll be releasing an armory in the future and we can work on making rules for designing personal star ships in that. As for a random star system generator, we can possibly create an app on our website myevilpig.com. We already have a free download for the character sheets there. I hope that answered your question! If you need to ask anything else, we'll try and get back to you as soon as we can. Thank you!

The starships in the core rule book are highly customizable already, though. They have a set amount of rooms in each design and each room can be designed with something in it, like one could be a shield generator and another could be a communication room. There are also slots on each ship for guns. If you're looking for a system like that, that's built into the core of the game. And if you want to get deeper, the scientist class can design their own starships if they focus on making them. They're also able to invent guns and other things. This game likes to promote creativity in the player and game master.

A well written and pretty straight forward book that seems like it will be pretty easy to follow. It's nice having everything you need in one book instead of three different books at a higher price per book. Can't wait to actually try a campaign with this new and exciting system and frontier.

We've found a few errors when reviewing the core rulebook. There's nothing major, but we will still update the files for everyone. If you have already purchased the game, you should have access to the new files when they're published. Thank you!

A print version should be coming out in the coming week. We hope everyone is enjoying the game so far. We'll release a pre-made adventure module in the future, so keep a look out for that! Thank you!

We're fixing a few technical errors before we release a print version. We should have everything fixed in a few days. Keep an eye out for the hard copy coming out soon!

There are a few mistakes in the enemy section of the book. We apologize for these small mistakes that slipped our quality assurance. We will be re-releasing all the enemies plus hundreds more in our Primus Star: A Hostile Universe book in the future. These enemies will be updated to reflect their actual scores and what they should have as far as stats are concerned. The game, however, is still fully functioning and we hope you enjoy playing it. Have fun, everyone, and thank you!

We will be taking down the hardcover book and updating the PDF version for the time being to make sure the game is performing up to our standards. We have improved our quality assurance and wish to make sure all of our products meet our requirements. Thank you for your continued support.

Is this "1E" of the book because it uses 1E-style OSR rules?

1E means it's 1st Edition. We have plans to possibly release a 2nd Edition in the future if we feel that mechanics should be updated, but for now everything is in place and it's a solid game.

The rules of the game are somewhat new. They use some mechanics from games such as Dungeons and Dragons 3.5 and 5th edition as well as Pathfinder, but all in all it should be considered a new system that makes use of some aspects of the d20 system. I hope this has helped.

I changed the "1E" to instead say 1st Edition so as to make it more clear.

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.
