Extinction

ADD TO WISHLIST >
Selected Option:

EXTINCTION is a stand alone RPG of Sci-Fi survival horror made with the BLACK HACK, inspired by movies like Alien, Outland and Event horizon.

Players can choose a character class, from Corporate drone to Medic or Deck officer (8 classes in total), read a 1 page summary of the setting, pick a rules cheat sheet and start to play right away.

GMs will find an introductory adventure, Breathing Day, so they can start running the game on the same day they bought the book!

Keeping with BLACK HACK traditions, EXTINCTION is loaded with tools: create NPCs, colonies, space stations, alien ruins, find what's wrong with a corporation or the next target of a fringe group... It's a big universe and xenomorphs are not the only danger players will face.

Hello, i can't download the pdf: "The requested source file could not be found. Please contact us and let us know about this error."
I tried to contact drivethrurpg but the procedure is very complicated.

This might sound like a stupid question, but, do you need the Black Hack rules to play this?

So synthetics have no adrenaline - do this mean they can never panic or burn adrenaline? And they also have no nerve - what do they roll for initiative?

Exactly: synthetics don't panic. In my games they always act after the NPCs but if that sounds too harsh, they can roll INT for initiative. Sorry the rules didn't make this clear.

Appreciate the reply! That was really the only thing that wasn't clear to me from the rules. But other than that I love it.

Hey Alexandre i have question : in the book you mention the weapons are prohibited on spacecraft, have you a recommandation showing a space boarding ? I thought of Alien Resurection but they dont show how they process to hijack the personnels in hypersleep.

(I also saw you mentionned Quartermass, i had no clue the original hammer's trilogy spawned a tv show, i ll need to check this out)

Sorry the text was unclear: you can have weapons on spaceships but they're under lock and key (only the captain and the security officer have access to them). Concerning the Quatermass TV show it was also called the Quatermass conclusion, I'm not a big fan of the way the main character was portrayed but the writing is solid (Nigel Kneale knows his stuff) and the plot is gold for any GM.

for the weapons i was more thinking of the ones mounted on the spacecraft (like mass canons or missiles / torpedoes launchers)
Thanks also for the precision about onboard security.

(i watched the Quatermass Trilogy 20 years ago and the second blew my mind)

Ok! You can go two ways:
_First as a dramatic plot device: "you're boarded, what do you do?"
_Second, using an INT test (to avoid boarding or to board a ship), critical failure leads to a collision. You're either boarded or you're not, one roll should be enough. But that's only my way of doing things. If you want more specific rules let me know.

I've read the Black Hack 2nd edition every day for a few weeks :) In the book's preview, the first page lists all rpg-related inspirations for the game.

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.
