Blades of Tyri

ADD TO WISHLIST >

Sword-and-Planet (also called Science Fantasy and more archaically Planetary Romance) stories were popularized in the early 20th century by such writers as Edgar Rice Burroughs, Alex Raymond, Michael Moorcock, Ralph Milne Farley, and Otis Adelbert Kline. Often considered the precursors to what is now Science Fiction, Sword-and-Planet stories downplayed scientific accuracy in favor of swashbuckling action, melodramatic narratives, and high adventure. Usually featuring protagonists from Earth suddenly transplanted to an alien world and anachronistic technology, such stories were typified by Burroughs’ John Carter and Carson of Venus tales, Alex Raymond’s Flash Gordon, and others.

Referees and players looking to emulate the wonder and heroism of high adventure on a distant planet need miss out no longer. Blades of Tyri brings you a campaign setting for Cepheus Engine (CE) and other 2D6 RPGs such as the Traveller SRD, both of which are descended from the Original Science Fiction Roleplaying Game (OSFRPG) introduced in the late 1970s. The campaign features all the derring-do that can be expected of the genre, in addition to other goodies:

  • A campaign overview to quickly familiarize Referees and Players with the intended tone.
  • An internally-consistent narrative complete with social and magic systems customizable by the Referee.
  • An overview of methods to emulate the fantastic abilities often displayed by Sword-and-Planet heroes.
  • A detailed look at the alien setting of the campaign, the planet Tyri.
  • And information the Referee can use to tie everything together into a coherent whole.

Blades of Tyri. Earth isn’t the only place for amazing and daring pulp exploits.

Is this solely the setting or does include the rule system as well?

Only the setting. It uses the rules for Cepheus Engine (which is descended from the Traveller SRD.)

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.
