REVIEWS
Alegis Downport: Overall, I think the updated Hostile Setting and new Rule book make for one of the best Cepheus Engine / 2D6 settings available and I would highly recommend you take a look at it. The Rules book makes for a fantastic addition to your gaming library and Paul Elliott, Ian Stead and the team involved should be commended in producing such an excellent publication ... READ MORE

Eric F: What makes 
the Hostile Rpg rules pdf so good is the internal consistency of the Hostile rules. The 2d6 done by Zozer Games is done excellently & Paul Elliot has an easy writing style that makes this an easy rule book to get through. READ MORE.

Welcome to the gritty, retro-future universe of HOSTILE which now expands with its own, dedicated rulebook. Based on the Cepheus Engine, these Rules add in the realistic combat rules from Zozer Games’ popular Modern War game, as well as setting-specific rules from some of the eighteen HOSTILE supplements. When combined with its companion book, the HOSTILE Setting, you will have a complete, stand-alone, retro-future sci-fi game. Please look out for the HOSTILE Double Shift Bundle which gives you these HOSTILE Rules as well as the HOSTILE Setting book, at a 20% discount off of the listed price.
 
HOSTILE  is a gritty, near future roleplaying setting that is inspired by movies like Outland, Bladerunner and Alien –  a hostile and brutal universe, where blue collar men and women work hard, rely on nobody but themselves, risk death every day and face the Unknown. And out here the Unknown is real – it is horrific: there are rumours of the disturbing side-effects of hyperspace, of ancient horrors entombed on icy moons, and of monsters – killer aliens, perfectly evolved to survive the hostile wastes of space – at any cost.
 
Requires the HOSTILE Setting book for play. A printer-friendly, white background option is also included with your purchase.
