Zoa of the Vastlands

ADD TO WISHLIST >

The Vastlands are full of life. Bacterial colonies burbling away in abandoned radioactive storage caverns. Megamorphic protozoa pulsating in the mud geysers. Fungal hybrids spreading through spore cloud events. Dreaming cycads spliced with symbiotic hydrozoan neural nets, the abandoned products of an earlier noösphere development programme. Dappled saltwater neo- amphibians colonizing new volcanic islands burping forth from the mist- shrouded Cyan Sea. Star-gazing machine-riddled birds devoting nights and days to ritual observations of the heavens. The last of the the ten thousand ten thousand latter-day sputniks chirping their forgotten electric songs in their near-void orbits about the world.

Zoa of the Vastlands is a creature generator supplement for the Ultraviolet Grasslands or any other science fantasy roleplaying game.

  • ~20 pages of content (for now)
  • 27 illustrations (for now)
  • dozens of tables to generate and modify new creatures based on terrestrial biological stock and strange fantascience
  • expanded rules for observing and researching strange creatures in the vast wilderness of the UVG and other trackless domains
  • new backgrounds and extras (NPCs) for the UVG (or other game looking for technomagical naturalists and an early 20th century vibe)

WARNINGThis is a manuscript edition. This means the text is yet to be edited and proofread. There must be typos. An editor will be paid and the manuscript revised in due time, but there is always a lag with these things.

Hi Ryan - no, it's not. That said, this booklet is on my radar for a refresh!

This is great! Will you consider a print on demand option when you've tuned it to your satisfaction?

Yes, for this one certainly. I'm hoping to add a small bestiary to the file this year. Clean it up a bit more and all that ;)

Well I can't wait to buy it! For some reason, Drivethru says I can't leave a review. So:

For anyone reading this: Buy it! It's a delight of random tables for creating all sorts of weird creatures. Well laid out and easy to understand. The bestiary that is being planned will just be icing on top, IMO.

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.
