Astonishing Worlds!

ADD TO WISHLIST >

Astonishing Worlds is a systemless sandbox setting designed to be used with tabletop RPGs capable of handling a retro-style space opera. This work is inspired by the science fiction of yesteryear when good and evil were clear and Pluto was still a planet. Astonishing Worlds is a nod to the retro science fiction found in comic books and television from the 1950s and 1960s. Imagine an alternate reality in which the fantasies of this era of speculative fiction were real, and the only limit was human imagination.

Inside you'll find:

  • 28 outlined worlds spread out over four solar systems.
  • 12 Character Archetypes to spark the imagination.
  • Guidelines on the three types of races: Humans, Near-Humans, and Beastmen.
  • 5 Terrifying villains known as the Galactic Lords, each with their own sinister empire.
  • A planet, alien, and adventure generator. 
  • And much more!

"It's the TTG Anniversary sale! Now through January 1st our entire catalogue is 40 percent off!" - 12/21/2018

It would appear this title, despite being part of the catalogue, is exempt from that sale?

What game system would be recommended for this setting? What did the Authors play when play-testing this material?

When designing this I went with Savage Worlds to run the campaign, which I personally find to fit this sort of pulp environment well. Most generic systems should handle Astonishing Worlds without trouble. Fans have also stated that the Retrospace supplement for the Blood of Pangea RPG works well, though I have no personal experience with that system myself.

FATE or FATE Accelerated would also run this beautifully.

Seems to be missing the Villain charts from the "Adventure Generator" section.

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.

Most newer books are in the original electronic format. Both download and print editions of such books should be high quality.
