[Dawning Star] Red Truth Revealed - FREE

[Justin D. Jacobson]

One of the things the DS team is proudest of is our new take on psionics called Red Truth. First presented in Operation Quick Launch and fully detailed in Helios Rising, Red Truth is a "dimension" of pure information that underlays our own. As some religions have described it, Red Truth is the programming code left behind by the Creator. Or, to use a more contemporary analogy, it's like the stream of green text Neo sees when he taps into the Matrix. What makes Red Truth unique is that this take on psionics is somewhat more realistic, eliminating the sorcery-in-space feel of a full-blown psionic array. For example, reading information is a standard psionic ability, while manipulating that information in an effort to effect the tangible world is more difficult if not impossible.

We've recently released a few products that deal with Red Truth, including TERRAFORMER 9 - Grass Widow AdC and Seeing Red, the free Gen Con '06 Adventure. By popular request, we've decided to release a short but thorough primer on Red Truth, absolutely free.

I give you: Red Truth Revealed

This free pdf duplicates the information from Helios Rising (with a few minor tweaks) including 18 pisonic powers. This way, you can enjoy all of our products without having to purchase the largest sci-fi setting book ever published.

Wow! We've had a ton of downloads since I posted this. Thanks to everyone for your interest. We'd love to hear any feedback you have--either here or on our own message boards. Our next book is likely to be a full treatment of Red Truth, so the more input the better.

Very cool. I like the fact that you don't have people stopping artillery shells like in the anime Akira. The psionics in the setting have an attainable feel to it as well as a metaphysical one. I like the way that the powers all manifest from the idea that it is difficult to manipulate the red truth and just waving your arms around won't cut it.

Nicely done...can't wait to see the next version.

Thanks! As a small part of the popular demand mentioned, I certainly appreciate it. It's intriguing to see a SF psionics implementation that has an original concept behind it rather than the default pseudo-magical flavour.

Red... Truth...
