Space 1889 - Marvels of Mars

ADD TO WISHLIST >

This sourcebooklet contains two different supplements for playing on Mars, using the Ubiquity version of the Space:1889 roleplaying game.


Creatures of Mars


Mars—a dying planet, still far from dead!
In the vast steppes, in the sand of equatorial deserts, on the mountain tops, at the icy poles, in the massive artificial canals and in the ancient sewers of Martian cities, underneath the dry dust of Mars’ surface, and in the wide open of the cloudless skies: the Martian flora and fauna thrive everywhere and have managed to adapt to even the most unfavorable of environments.
Expand the game’s atmosphere by including herds of grazing eegars, a lens beetle lamp, or a tasty krolik dish with all six legs still attached. Confront your players with challenging combat encounters with a teshuwaan, a dust kraken, or even the legendary white ape. Alternatively, add some flavor to your game by having the adventurers participate in a gashant race or ambush them with a Deimos crawler—the deadliest weapon of the Worm Cult. This sourcebook contains descriptions and stats for more than sixty Creatures of Mars, for every purpose imaginable!



Wonders of the Martian Past


The Mars of today is but a pale shadow of its former glory, where great technological marvels lie hidden in the sand, long forgotten by the native Martians. For Martian technology had already reached its lofty peak by the time human weapons technology had evolved to the stage of throwing stones at each other. But the slow death of the planet halted the march of Martian technology, and now the secrets of the ancient Martians lie forgotten as Martian civilization continues to decay.
Discover the many varied roles of Martian crystals: shoot mighty rays with fire lances, communicate across the void with pair stones, or have mind blowing experiences with Martian mind crystals. Encounter amazing Martian robots or find out how ancient Martian cities were powered by telluric currents. Discover the ancient history of the Canal Builders themselves, and uncover their darkest secrets!
The second part of this sourcebook is dedicated to the Wonders of the Martian Past and contains background information about the technological history of Mars as well as detailed descriptions of more than 20 aspects of ancient Martian technology. Also included are two adventures centered around Martian technology.

Will it contain a comprehensive map of Mars? It is tough to use an RPG without decent maps.

Since the product is not a detailed description of Mars, it does not contain a map. The core rulebook for Space 1889 meanwhile does contain a map of Mars.

We will also upload the map to the download area of our homepage in the next couple of weeks. :-)

This is nice, but are we going to see the full Mars sourcebook that's coming out in German. That's scheduled for May or June, and I know it contains a lot of info not seen in Marvels of Mars.

The Mars sourcebook will definetely be translated into English, but this will take at least till end of 2016. The Kickstarter addons have to be finished first (which means that the Mercury sourcebook will be translated from German earlier).

Thank you. When is the Mars sourcebook being released in German? And is Amazon.de still the best way to get a hardcopy shipped to the US?

The Mars sourcebook will be released in German in June/July. Right now it is being printed.

I actually don't know which is the best way to get a German copy to the US - sorry! But if Amazon doesn't work out you might try any retailer who stocks German RPGs, if there are any. You can also order a copy via our own online shop (shop.uhrwerk-verlag.de), but shipment would be between 10 and 30 Euros depending on what you order.

Good luck!

Is there any material in this book that did not find it's way into any of the German books? And, as a more general question - are there any publications for 1889 that have no equivalent in German?

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.
