ADD TO WISHLIST >
Suggested Price $2.99

Cepheus Modern is a 2d6-based OGL game based on Cepheus Light, for playing campaigns set in the modern era. Whatever your game is: modern paramilitary, retro espionage, World War II battles, mysterious explorers, or renegade hacktivists; Cepheus Modern has you covered. This rules-light game offers character creation with a variety of modern careers, skills and equipment, rules for resolving actions in and out of combat, and a complete animal/creature creation system.

Do you like your modern games with a dose of strangeness? Cepheus Modern has that as well, with chapters covering Psychic Powers, Cybernetics, Urban Fantasy, and Aliens! Run your game as straight reality or with as little or much weirdness as you like. To add more sci-fi to your game, consider using this game with Cepheus Light.

Cepheus Modern is compatible with Cepheus Light, the Cepheus Engine System Reference Document, and other 2d6 OGL games with some conversion.

For the last few days, I have soloed my way through Live And Let Live (38 pages, DriveThruRPG). This adventure was designed for the Aralsk-7 RPG. The RPG I picked out to run this fun adventure was Cepheus Modern, a 2d6 system (86 pages, same place, free/pay what you want). The two solo engines that I used were a yes/maybe/no oracle and the Bing Chat AI.

So, the adventure started when Ted received his mission – to retrieve alien artifacts. He traveled to an island where aliens had been and also previous biological testing. Once there, he traveled through a jungle and he soon found some abandoned vehicles. He searched them and found some cigarettes. He then entered the property of the ruined scientific facility. He had only been inside a few minutes when there was an anomaly outside. He went unconscious and eventually woke up upstairs naked and without his gear. Determined to re-equip himself, he searched the labs and found a flamethrower and three containers of chemicals.

When he came...See more

I'm very satisfied with the book,
Mark was able to Address the following:
1) Careers were fixed - The qualifications were simplified making that if you fail to qualify choose a different career.
2) I like the modern careers they are well designed for the setting
3) Skill packages to facilitate play
4) There is a Skill advancement and XP mechanic which is important IME
5) There are very basic Quality of Living Mechanic.
6) Elaborated and improved on the CE Gun qualities options and added a gun or two.
7) Clarified the Conditions for combat - gave it a table
8) More tactical options in Gun combat - suppressive fire being one of them
9) Adds fatigue, in Character conditions
10) Environmental Hazards are added on ( I like his rads mechanics and starvation and dehydration and suffocation).
11) Cybernetic Options are available
12) Urban fantasy options and Magical Careers
13) TL9 and up Equipment

So if you have...See more

I have purchased the rules, and they look pretty good. I would be interested in contacting Mr. Stout to check on some possible additional booklets to go along with the rules.

A nice extension of the Cepheus Light rules that fills in some gaps (animals, magic) from the original. Any hope of a POD version soon?

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.
