Cosmos: Age of Sail Charted Space

ADD TO WISHLIST >
Suggested Price $4.00

               Well Humanity didn’t make it easy on itself. The twin miracles of the Newton Manoeuvre and Kessler Jump Drives opened the paths to the stars; gravitic technology and genetic and environmental modification followed in their wake. And yet jealousy, greed, rivalry, war and all the old follies of Humankind remain. The stars would not simply fall into Terran hands; the heavens would have to be won.

               Expansion and colonisation were fitful. Driven by the desperation of a poisonous over-crowded Earth, by curiosity and naked ambition and hindered in turn by reticence, recession and infighting. The discovery of life beyond Earth thrilled the adventurous almost as much as it made others fearful of what else might be lurking out in the black.

               It is 2400. A new era dawns and Humankind has finally carved out a place for itself among the heavens. Now it is time to steel yourself for adventure; to scramble together enough credits for that frozen low berth ride to the new Colonies, to sling your bag over your shoulder and brave the gangplank to board that Frontier scout ship or to jack your Spacer pilot brain into the Kessler Drive interface and crest the swells of another dimension.

Welcome to the stars!

What a great setting, well written and nicely setup for play! Bravo.

I wondered if you had the planetary data in Sector file format? I was thinking of pushing it into the Travellermap to create some outputs?

Excuse the very tardy reply Graham, stuff keeps happening. Feel free to Travellermap the bejesus out of Age of Sail. I'm afraid the setting was created completely from scratch (Endless screens of pre-rolled d6 results, my own system modifiers based on position, TL parameters etc. It's fair to say it took a while) so I don't have any suitably formatted stat blocks other than the ones you see in the books. I have zero objection to anyone copying and pasting Age of Sail stats into their format of choice. In fact if it helps you I positively encourage it and would probably get a kick out of seeing the results. The map as is, hit the spot for me and, if you grab the Companion volume, has all the info you need to narrate bopping around the setting with or without a starship of your own. Please feel free to screenshot/copy/edit my map or any part of it to suit your own gaming needs. Poyekhali!

When I saw the name listed as "Cosmos: Age of Sail Charted Space" I thought this was Cepheus-engine reworking of Spelljammer ;)

It's title was Ad Astra - scuppered by pesky movie of the same name appearing just as I finished my 1st draft. I figured I should avoid renaming it Trek Wars or Dune Avengers!

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.
