Suggested Price $14.99

We are not alone in the Universe, but we have few friends. As we emerged on the galactic stage, we found a universe stripped bare of sentient life by a great Plague, leaving only the wild beasts and twisted plague horrors wandering the ruined hulks of lost civilizations.

We are the Surveyors. We explore the uncharted sectors of space and hunt these ruins for the treasures they contain and the riches they might bring to what sentient life remains. We are not brave, merely foolhardy and desperate. Those who survive become rich beyond dreams. Very few survive. Hulks & Horrors is a science-fiction roleplaying game of galactic exploration and adventure for 2 or more players ages 13 and up. Inside you will find:

• Complete rules for characters up to Level 6 and beyond

• 7 character classes: Pilot, Scientist, Soldier, Psyker, Hovering Squid, Omega Reticulan, and Bearman.

• Easy to learn old-school inspired game rules and combat system

• Weapons, armor, and equipment inspired by classic science-fiction

• Spaceship construction and combat rules

• Random tables for creating whole sectors of space

• Loot generation rules

• Dozens of alien monsters as well as guides for designing your own

• Dungeon-mastering advice for sandbox space exploration

• Optional rules for customizing Hulks & Horrors

Hulks and Horrors is available in 6"x9" format in both PDF and Print on Demand.

Has anyone tried to built a spaceship? Looking at the first example (Light Courier, p. 65) it says it is a Class 1 which has 150 tons (p. 54), Armor I (50 tons), and Engine 1 (50 tons).

So that's 100 tons out of the 150 tons available.

Then it adds another 90 tons of accessories. So even disregarding page 58 that says only 60% of the remaining space can be used for additional systems, I still don't see how it can add up.

I'm I missing something? thanks!

Ah! I see the confusion. Had to double check myself.

The 150 tons for the frame is just the base weight of the frame. You *add* the Armor and Engine and Weapons weights to that base to calculate your total weight and Mass Rating, which is important for calculating how high a Thruster rating you need to buy.

Your Additional Systems in Step 6 are the only part where you have to worry about space budget as a function of weight. Take 60% of the weight of the frame, and that's your space limit for those parts only, and they don't count against the weight of the ship because they're considered part of the frame.

The actual error here seems to be in my math for the Light Courier. It should be 50 tons heavier. :D I think an earlier draft didn't have the armor plating, but I added it later and I guess I forgot to update the total weight.

This book is too well done to have zero illustrations! Of all junk that has been Kickstarted why not a well-illustrated version of this one!?

We tried! Believe me, we tried! I had a lovely pair of artists for the IndieGoGo campaign, but sadly it didn't fund, and sadly the publishers I talked to backed out for various reasons, so I never got the budget for the planned "Advanced" edition that would've been finally illustrated.

Help please. I am not a native english speaker. I know that hulks means something like abandoned ship. So, to help me to understand the title, how would you rewrite the title? Ruins and Horrors? Wreckages and Horrors?

I would recommend looking into translations of Games Workshop's Space Hulk. The sense of the word is the same as there.

From Wikipedia: "a space hulk is a mass of ancient, derelict space ships, asteroids, and other assorted space debris". Thank you Annaia D!

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.
