BRP Monograph: Operation Ulysses (new science fiction monograph in the works)

[eric71]

Operation Ulysses: Journey to the Gammadon Fields

Operation Ulysses will be a military science fiction campaign for the Basic RolePlaying system available through Chaosium Inc. Operation Ulysses takes place within the Gammadon fields, scene of an apocalyptic space war fought millennia ago by two extinct species. The shattered remains of their colossal starcraft still drift aimlessly and their ancient atomic mines even now patrol the space lanes, seeking to destroy any ship traversing the system. Midway through its journey across the Gammadon fields, near the planet of Ion 9, the ISIS corp. star freighter Ulysses was inexplicably wrenched out of hyperspace by an unknown form of energy. Shortly after its initial distress call, all communication between ISIS Corp. and the Ulysses was lost. Contacted by ISIS Corp., you and your team have been hired to travel to the Gammadon fields to unlock the mysteries behind the disappearance of the Ulysses.

Good luck eric71. When do you anticipate submission?

[eric71]

Im looking at 3 to 4 months from now,but if it goes longer i wont be suprised.

Your monograph sounds really promising. If you can come near the quality of Outpost 19 (which, by the way Nick, I think is great), then you can count on at least one sale! How many of those 30 alien species are intelligent, BTW?

[eric71]

All 30 are intelligent species. The 30 new species are all from advanced cultures and are separate from the “creatures” that will be included. There are a couple of the species that are not intended for player character use, maybe 2-3.

It normally takes longer than expected.

What's the pagecount you're looking at? I've added a blurb to the news section, and posted it on the Basic_Roleplaying group too. Looking forward to it!

Im not sure yet,the main adventure will be about 6 chapters maybe more.there are side missions that could make up to another6-7 chapters worth of material.30 pretty detailed races,some of which have multiple forms.Then theres equipment,area maps,the ulysses mapped out...its 4 levels of starfreightor.im thinking somewhere around 100 pages atleast...Maybe more...ill have a better idea about that in the next few weeks.

[eric71]

Im thinking around 110 or so.I will have a better idea about the total page count in a couple of weeks.
