| Aliens & Deviltry Regular price: $9.38 Bundle price: $7.31 Format: PDF
| Aliens & Deviltry re-presents two classic Fading Suns sourcebooks, each with d20 System rules (these rules require the use of the Dungeons & Dragons® Players Handbook, Third Edition, published by Wizards of the Coast®).
CHILDREN OF THE GODS: OBUN & UKAR One of the earliest sentient races humanity discovered was the Ur-Obun — peaceful and wise philosophers. Soon after, humanity met their cousins, the Ur-Ukar — vicious and cruel warriors, with a starfaring empire of their own. Humanity has played the two against each other ever since. These two races were gifted by the gods — the ancient Anunnaki jumpgate builders — with unique technology. Xenologists now scour their homes and myths for clues to the riddles of the ancients. But s...

Threats to Crown and SoulThe Known Worlds are rife with those who refuse to follow the social order. Whether practicing their rebellion in private or fomenting public revolt, these malcontents threaten the powers-that-be. Heretics refuse to follow the Church's doctrines of proper faith, and so risk their own souls and those of others through their example. Psychics plot to overthrow mundane humanity -- or worse, attempt to force psychic awakening on others through the mysterious Sathra Effect.
It is not only humanity's soul that is so threatened, however, for its very right to rule itself is challenged by the potential power of the alien Vau Hegemony. The incursions of the metamorphic Symbiots threaten to warp peoples' own bodies. What's more, barbaric human star-...

| Lords & Priests Regular price: $13.98 Bundle price: $10.89 Format: PDF
| A compilation of two of the most popular (and out of print) Fading Suns sourcebooks: "Lords of the Known Worlds" and "Priests of the Celestial Sun." Includes 10 pages of new material.
Lords of the Known Worlds
Nobles are the unquestioned rulers of the universe. Few are privy to their lifestyles and secrets, and the great unwashed understand little of the perks (and problems) associated with rulership. There are taxes to collect, wars to wage, and rivals to crush. Indeed, as any noble would tell you, the sacrifices they endure more than justify their opulent lifestyles. Not just anybody can be such a martyr; it takes blood privilege. A privilege the nobility protects at all costs, even if it requires deadly duels or declarations of war.

Notes from the Interstellar UndergroundBlur suits and wireblades now complement the cloaks and daggers of the past. In the 51st century, spies are a necessary evil. Without their deft fieldwork and cunning intelligence, noble reigns would topple and guild monopolies crumble. Although small in number and incognito in guise, these spies daily betray trusts, seed lies and mistruths, steal high-tech secrets and even poison rivals -- all in pursuit of their patronsÕ power. Even the Church plays these games of death and deceit, using ill-gotten secrets to sway their secular rivals -- or protect them from a greater darkness.
Anarchists and discontents lurk in these same shadows, seeking to topple the current order and replace it with their own. Whether they dream ...

| Vorox Regular price: $8.98 Bundle price: $7.00 Format: PDF
| A Vorox stands nearly 10 feet tall, bristling with six limbs (each usable as a hand or foot), a full set of fangs, a superb sense of smell, and an uncouth attitude which gets worse the hungrier it gets. Noble Vorox (and their untamed cousins in the wild) even bear poison claws capable of paralyzing prey in mere minutes. What's more, Vorox travel in packs.
And they're still not the premier predators on their homeworld. Ungavorox is one of the universe's most inhospitable places -- even the flowers are carnivorous. With such dangers constantly hanging over their heads or waiting from below their niches in the trees, it's no wonder the Vorox quickly developed sentience and a tight-knit society.
The Vorox book takes a close look at these fascinating sentients and the ecosyst...
