BurgerSlave Posted March 6, 2003 Share Posted March 6, 2003 Well, here it goes. My first post on EON. I've been meaning to join for some time, and I'm glad I have. Whee!Anyway, what I was wanting to post about. I noticed that the nifty folkses here at EON have posted guidelines for writing e-books. One of the books I always wanted to see was the Big Book of Aliens. And I got to thinking, "Y'know, I could do something like that!" ::biggrin I think one of the things I'd include would be an expanded writeup on the Chromatics post-invasion. I'd have a cultural writeup, a summary of ongoing diplomatic efforts, a planetary survey of Chrome Prime, maybe a 'day in the life' section.I'll also do a writeup of Qin, from a player's perspective. I think it'd be really neat to have character creation rules for these fellows, particularly after the shakeup of things at the end of Symbiosis. I think I'd also like to do a writeup of the surviving Erebans, particularly in light of the Trinity-coordinated relocation effort on China's behalf, described in Asia Ascendant. We really don't get a whole lot of information on the Erebans in Alien Encounter, save the fact that they're a primitive culture brutalized by the Coalition.Beyond that, I'm open to ideas. I know I'll be including the world of Gaia, a creation of my own. It began as an experiment to see how well I could merge fantasy with sci-fi. It worked out famously. So, there'll be an entry for elves, dwarves, orcs, and Beast Tribefolk. Call it silly if you will--my players keep on begging me to run the Gaia storyline, even months later. That never happens anymore, not since we ran through Darkness Revealed and Alien Encounter. ::smiley1 Naturally, each section will include rules for playing a member of one of these species. What do you all think? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Finbar Posted March 6, 2003 Share Posted March 6, 2003 I'd love it! Just what my players want, more toys for the ST! BWAHAHAHAHAHA!BTW, re: The Erebans:We've relocated them to the UAN. Roughly 100 sq mi were bought in their name, and they were let loose there. Given that it sounded like the planet had been destroyed, we thought it best to put them in a location resembling their native savannah, and Africa just sounded right...The tribe (of about 300) is doing well at last report;-)FR Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

phoenix Posted March 7, 2003 Share Posted March 7, 2003 I know I'll be including the world of Gaia, a creation of my own. It began as an experiment to see how well I could merge fantasy with sci-fi.

That never happens anymore, not since we ran through Darkness Revealed and Alien Encounter.Maybe you should just adapt the Aeon rules to a fantasy setting of your own creation, then ::thumbsup One suggestion: Gaia is either a product of Terran mythology or a true goddess (in a storyline, that is). If the planet is named after a goddess that also appears on Earth, that would insinuate that Gaia is an actual goddess (and also not limited to the Earth specifically, but rather all life-bearing planets). The point is that if you're not actually including magic, but trying to use evolution and psi (and/or possibly quantum) to mimic its effects, then you might want to change the name.Sounds very cool, though. I'd sure like to see it! ::smile Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alistaire Posted March 11, 2003 Share Posted March 11, 2003 Maybe you should just adapt the Aeon rules to a fantasy setting of your own creation, then Hey, why not? The whole Trinity universe seems to be moving back in time anyway...Trinity, Abberant, Adventure, fantasy game...(then classical game, caveman game, monkey game...) ::hehe Ahem, sorry. Silly attack. ::blush ::robotmonkey Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Finbar Posted March 12, 2003 Share Posted March 12, 2003 All right...So I guess a more interesting question is:What alien races have you created that you use (with any regularity) in your Trinity games? Obviously, I use the Greks and Erebans, but what do the rest of you use? (And, please, include a quick write-up, maybe a few paragraphs.)FR Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Joseph Posted March 13, 2003 Share Posted March 13, 2003 I've only ever used the Qin (maybe twice) and the Chromatics (specifically Howie, a rescued, but brain damaged frog).I guess I'm not that creative... ::dozingoff -Joseph Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
harlequin Posted March 13, 2003 Share Posted March 13, 2003 no, you threw some "purple oragutans" at me and pete once, we ended up web gunning about everything including ourselves to the ship and burning down most of the native rain forest trying to get away from those things... ::crazy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Joseph Posted March 13, 2003 Share Posted March 13, 2003 Heh. I forgot about those. Didn't know where I was going with them. I figured to throw something odd at you and play off whatever you did. (Par normal, yeh? ::tongue )Though in retrospect, I have a hard time distinguishing them from the piggies in the Ender series of books.-Joseph Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Finbar Posted March 14, 2003 Share Posted March 14, 2003 Purple orang-utangs? We have SO got to see about getting our groups together! I mean, they'd go so well with our green reindeer! ::tongue FR Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Joseph Posted March 14, 2003 Share Posted March 14, 2003 Don't mention reindeer around Pax's Pimp! His have huge @$$ horns, two pairs of wings and six legs.We haven't yet seen what his Santa looks like. ::crazy -Joseph Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Finbar Posted March 14, 2003 Share Posted March 14, 2003 Um...yeah....I actually read that on your site, I should realized that... I was referring to the Erebans one of our characters uses on his ship....Oops....FR Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
