2300 AD Kafer Sourcebook

ADD TO WISHLIST >

Humanity's exploration among the stars have brought it into contact with several alien species. All of these contacts have been peaceful, except for a shirt war against the Sung. Humanity had never met an alien species which presented a serious threat to its own species – until the Kafers.

Humanity's contact with the Kafers is probably the most significant event in human history since the Twilight War of the late 20th century. The encounter, like that war, could conceivably spell the end of the human race.

The Kafer Sourcebook contains al information necessary for the 2300 AD referee to create campaigns and adventures involving the Kafers. It describes the physiology and psychology of the Kafers, concentrating on their unique intelligence, and explains why there can never be peace until either humanity of the Kafer population is destroyed.

Covering the origin and evolution of the Kafers, the Kafer Sourcebook goes into the details of the Kafer homeworld and explains Kafer motivations and drives, their history, their society and social structure and their technology.

The Kafer Sourcebook details the political and governmental structure of the Kafer Associative, discusses the political motivations behind the current war and explains why it will get worse.

The Kafer Sourcebook enables the 2300 AD referee to introduce new items of Kafer weaponry and equipment, as well as more complete details of previously described items. The equipment chapter is copiously illustrated (with some illustrations in full color). The players can be introduced to Kafer artifacts, which range from hand tolls and small arms up the Sigma-class starship. They can puzzle out the true function of the enigmatic "worry stone" often found in abandoned Kafer encampments or try to discover the technology, behind the recently discovered "Kafer Computer Mark II," an advanced portable computer of chilling technological sophistication.

A full-color map of the Kafer Sphere is included, extending tbeyond the boundaries of the original game map. The Kafer Sourcebook also presents a complete listing of the more than 30 new stars not included in the original game map as well as those already covered.

Introduced in the Kafer Sourcebook is a new alien race, unknown to humanity so far but important to the understanding of certain aspect of Kafer technology and history.

The Kafer Sourcebook also presents a treatise on Kafer language, including a pronunciation guide, a short vocabulary and samples of Kafer ideographs.

In exploring the universe according to 2300 AD, human beings have encountered a few alien species... most are friendly and only one poses a massive threat: the Kafer. This book presents the Referee with all he needs to know to use them to best effect [...]

One of the great books of the 2300 AD line (I started out with the game originally being called Traveller 2300), the Kafer Sourcebook offers something that most sci-fi games rarely offer. The Kafer are not just "rubber forehead humans", but [...]

A reasonable scan, partly bookmarked. The Kafer Sourcebook's information on Kafer anatomy, society and planets goes well beyond what I'd call fluff. It has a complete new species writeup and full statistics for Kafer gear. [...]

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.
