- System
- 100 Science Fiction Adventure Seeds is completely
systemless but is geared towards 'generic' SF of a plausible,
rather than space opera, bent.
- Presentation
- 100 Science Fiction Adventure Seeds uses sparse
graphical elements and a page border image but the text
is left clean and clear and easy to read.
- Keynotes
- 100 Science Fiction Adventure Seeds takes the concept
of 'seeds' found in a great many other game supplements
and setting books and takes it up a step. Rather than the
one line or one paragraph that you usually get 100 Science
Fiction Adventure Seeds devotes a whole page to each idea,
developing it, offering alternatives and plot twists and
then giving an idea on how the adventure might progress.
Some seeds also come with story and game enhancing ideas
in addition to the normal information.
- Design
Notes - Adventure supplements are a difficult thing.
Lots of people say they want them but hardly anyone buys
them. People need game support, they need to see how the
author believes that the game should be played but an adventure
released may not be suitable to the players or the characters
of the home game. One thing I always have found successful
has been the 'seed' ideas. Scattered plothooks and ideas
scattered throughout a book of setting or background material.
I hardly ever use the standard 'modules' in my gaming, so
I set out to write something I wanted and that I would use.

This
is a great product for just about any sci-fi campaign. I run
my own custom setting and I find this book a constant source
of new ideas.
This is a gold mine! Out of the 100 adventure ideas offerred,
I found something to adapt into my Star*Drive campaign for
around 50 of them.
An excellent selection of adventure possibilities, useful
with almost any SF game you care to name. Some of the seeds
are ideal for one shot adventures, whereas others can be expanded
out to form the basis of a longer adventure of even an extended
campaign.
This has it all. You'll see alot of familiar stuff in here,
but organized and seembled to be extrememly useful when you
have a writer's block. Well worth the price, well written,
and an innovative product!
Many good ideas, definately a way to ensure you never have
a dull night running a sci-fi campaign
