Well lets see there's:

Nexus Battleship
Arcane Shuttle Mark XV - The Mystic Breacher
Demon Stars

and 10 other various ships from new fighters to Gas collectors and Asteroid Miners. Hope this helps :D

There should be a review or two around these boards. Assuming they haven't been pruned.

And what makes you such an expert on the book?!?! Sorry, couldn't resist :wink:



Well the guy who wrote it and I share the same name. So I figure we think alike :wink:

The premise of the book was to provide a ton of setting info for GM's to use. So there are dozen's of star systems with HLS's. I would say their is a good size equipment sections, plenty of ships, organic tech and a new antagonist - namely the Necrons. There are also rules for creating space stations, as well as a few stellar anomalies, like meteor showers and nebulas.

Hope this helps.

Well...once my gaming crew actualy get their act together so I can RUN a game it will help :P
I tend to do my own ship designs (using AU:GG with a mess load of arbitray number shifting) and conversions, but as backdrops and / or plot devices, I must say your material is cool :D
Still trying to figure out how to use the Necrons (I still think they're Yuzzong-Vong with magic, but that's me), but I think I have a good story arc using them.

As for the UWWN Arcane-X; used that as the basis for my own ORIGINAL design ;-)...now all I have to do is get the picture for it done :frust:

Looking forward to any new material you may fire off to PBooks, and it is inspiring me to overcome my distatse of the legaleeze for submitting something of my own... one day
:frust: :fl: :angel: :D

Its called parallel development! Well Ok, maybe the Yuzzong-vong did inspire some ideas and all :D I came up with the original idea from a friends space opera game. There were these villains called necanthropes. I think they are from a game called Slay Industries, I can't remember the exact name of the game, but they had something along the line of organic tech and were pretty cool. I figured something along those lines would be cool for the 3G.

Yeah...'SLA Industries' actualy :D
Bunch of gamers I know here in T.O. are enamoured of the game.
Not bad from what I can see of it, but the game system & story-setting have me scratching m'head in confusion :P
But I know the creatures you're talking about. Nasty buggers, they is!

SLA Industries, yes thanks its been about 8 years :oops:

Our GM didn't use the Game System either. He had a mish mash of systems with some parts of Palladium's combat system.

I've looked through the book, there's some cool stuff in there. Good for your own home brewed games. He was a master of blending all kinds of stuff from star wars, star trek to B5. His games inspired a lot of stuff for 3G.

Great minds think alike I suppose. 8-)
First Rifts campaign I ever did was a mix of Call of C'Thullhu & WH40K.
Later (when Phase World came out) my Space campiagns used B5, WH40K, Starwars, Phantasy star, FFVII, etc... you get the idea ;)

You forgot to mention Space Station construction template, which was very useful to me at least.
