About the Bundle:
Spacer! This revived March 2018 Jovian Chronicles Bundle presents the 1997 Second Edition of the tabletop science fiction roleplaying game Jovian Chronicles from Dream Pod 9. In the 23rd Century the Solar System trembles on the brink of war. Earth’s militaristic CEGA forces are ready to recapture the Motherworld’s restive colonies — from the Mercurian Merchant Guild and the zaibatsu corporate states of Venus to the powerful Confederation on the moons of Jupiter. With an exciting, original setting that combines hard science fiction and anime-style action, Jovian Chronicles puts you at the center of the struggle for the Solar Nations.
This comprehensive bargain-priced revival once again gives you everything you need to climb into your exo-armor suit, board an Alexander-class Destroyer, and set out for interplanetary “solar opera” adventure. For just US$14.95 you get all eight titles in this revived offer’s Starter Collection (retail value $56.50) as DRM-free .PDF ebooks:
- Silhouette CORE Deluxe Edition: The Dream Pod 9 universal rules set that also underpins Heavy Gear (previously presented in our April 2017 Heavy Gear Bundle).
- Jovian Chronicles Player’s Handbook 2E: This complete 258-page rulebook (1997) details the Solar Nations, organizations like SolaPol and ZONet, the pilots and agents of the Jovian Confederation, and daily life in the planetary settlements and Orbitals.
- Four vital equipment and vehicle guides: Mechanical Catalog 1 and Catalog 2, Spacer’s Guide, and the Space Equipment Handbook.
- Two Planet Sourcebooks: Earth and CISLunar Space.
And if you pay more than the threshold price of $25.82, you’ll level up and also get this revival’s entire Bonus Collection with eleven more titles worth an additional $76.50, including the Jovian Chronicles Companion; four more Planet Sourcebooks (Mercury, Venus, Mars, and Jupiter); all three Ships of the Fleet volumes (1: Jovian Confederation, 2: Jovian Confederation, and 3: CEGA) cataloguing spacecraft from the Jovian Confederation and Earth’s government, CEGA; the campaign sourcebook The Chaos Principle; the Jovian Chronicles Gamemaster Handbook & Screen; and The Art of Jovian Chronicles Volume 1, a gorgeous full-color 220-page gallery of cover art, characters, exo-armors, vehicles, spacecraft, and more from the entire Chronicles line.
(Note: These .PDFs are image scans of the original 1990s print copies with OCR (Optical Character Recognition) applied. Text is light but readable; the designer credits in some books are blurry.)
