Super Astra Core Rules

ADD TO WISHLIST >
Suggested Price $0.00

Super Astra is a self-consciously old-school role playing game. It draws inspiration from Traveller and early editions of Dungeons and Dragons. Play rewards cleverness but doesn’t leave players with homework. Character creation uses an innovative system that can used as players sit at the table but also generates interesting individuals that players are excited to play.

Where do Combat Values come from?

Are they generated like Difficulty Numbers by rolling dice?

A table of rumors related to the map on page 28 would be handy for kicking off a campaign.

On another note, there seem to be a lot of setting-specific terms that are derived from C. J. Cherryh's Alliance-Union universe with its references to things like Merchanters, Dark Points and Hinder Stars etc. Others like Melange and Prana-bindu are derived from Dune.

For readers not familar with such terms a glossary would be in order.

The wording around the Luck Ability Score is a little confusing.

I don't believe that you should roll on the chart for LUC as it is derived from a calculation based on the other Ability Scores.

I would rephrase as follows:

To generate Abilities, roll on the chart in order for PYS, AW, EDU, CHA and WIL.

Luck (LUC) is the negative of half, rounded to zero, the sum of the others.

I've tried. I really have but I don't understand this game at all. Half the game concepts aren't explained. I'd like to see a complete rewrite, failing that, a series of examples for each system.

Hi Michael, thanks for the comment. Play testing has been a little slowed by events, but an expanded edition with examples of play remains in the works. In the meantime feel free to send us an email at sleeperlot@gmail.com with which features you feel are most in need of explanation.

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.

Original electronic format
These ebooks were created from the original electronic layout files, and therefore are fully text searchable. Also, their file size tends to be smaller than scanned image books. Most newer books are in the original electronic format. Both download and print editions of such books should be high quality.
