Cepheus Journal Issue #014

BeRKA August 3, 2023Leave a comment

Welcome to our 14th issue. We have lots of interesting articles.

Jo Jaquinta has given us quite a few articles this issue. First up is an article looking at cats in the far future and how to use them in your game, an interesting look at foamcrete, a possible character class called The Dark Guard, and his latest instalment of The Raider’s Lament.

Timothy Collinson has given us some notes on his article from last issue “The Sapphire Sea” and how he used generative AI to create the article. Given he is a librarian by profession there is some intriguing insights he puts across. Next up is A Fistful of Spaghetti, by Norton Glover, an interesting and fun romp of using the old spaghetti westerns as a basis for your games.

Finally, from our own Brett, is a couple of articles, one on some mushroom like trees and the nasty surprise they hold, and Firaious Prime, a world where these trees can be found growing.

Please enjoy issue fourteen and keep those dice rolling!

Cepheus Journal Issue #013

Welcome to our 13th issue. The theme for this issue was supposed to be bad luck. That is why there is a crashed spaceship on our cover. But we didn’t get any submissions on that topic. Some of the adventures posted may include some bad luck. But that is up to the referee to determine.

But we do have a bunch of other interesting stuff and also some AI experiments (including one silly comic). We hope that you will enjoy it.

We are also happy to note that any license problem seems to be resolved for now, and that there may be other licenses in the future. (Have a look at what Mongoose say!)

Welcome to our eleventh issue. The theme for this issue is aliens. We hope that you will enjoy it.

In previous issues there have been a few alien writeups. Now we wanted more aliens, and we got it. Thanks to everyone that has submitted an article or more to this issue.

We also have several other interesting articles about starships, orbital stations, combat, inspiration from a TV-show and converting PCs from Cepheus Engine to Cepheus Deluxe.

We also have part 5 of The Raider’s Lament and an interview with Omer Golan-Joel.
