Has anyone done a D20 Future Alien Artifacts book or pdf?
That'd be cool.
I'd probably buy it.
Dozen or more alien artifacts with different plot points, powers and histories.
Maybe even a xeno-archaeologist, xeno-historian, xeno-etc prestige classes.
You're in luck! Ronin Arts put out a PDF not too long ago called "13 Alien Artifacts" (or was it items?). Either way, go to www.rpgnow.com and look up Ronin Arts.
I don't own it, but it only has what it says: 13 alien artifacts. As for those prestige classes and such...nothing comes to mind, but a quick scan of the items for sale at rpgnow could very well turn up some gems.
One of the key features of Dawning Star is the existence of mystical, ancient ruins which contain mystical, ancient artifacts. Operation Quick Launch (launching any day now) will include some information on this and a few sample relics. There will be a lot more in the full Campaign Setting, AND we are planning an ENTIRE book on the Eotian ruins and relics for the summer of '05.
Dawning Star should provide a few artifacts of alien origin, yup. It is even possible some web enhancements of this nature could appear.
A little known project is d20 Alien Artifacts by www.Storybones.net. I have a couple devices that will be in that book, when it gets released, sometime in 2005?
