Sci-Fi Ephemera I - The Ovocipede

The ovocipede would be a dandy little item for exploration - if we pretend that it works, I mean. I'm picturing explorers - robots especially - in these little bubbles rolling through the plains or a desert, maybe while be chased by some form of alien terror bird.

(Dali's space suit is gold, not silver - just in case you were wondering)

In terms of Space Princess, I'd say super science (DC 20 - the main difficulty being getting the plastic bubble) - "rider" can move at normal speed over land, water, ice, snow, etc. and enjoys a +4 DEF and +2 to tests against environmental hazards. At a super science of DC 25, the ovocipede can be motorized, with a vehicle speed of Slow.

The Space Princess Has Arrived!

Available in E-Book for $5.00 and in print (WARNING - I DON'T HAVE MY REVIEW COPY YET - BUY AT YOUR OWN RISK) for $10.00.

The old Space Princess came in at 48 pages with the table of contents, OGL and a page of character sheets (they fit four on a sheet, so I'm not sure character sheet is the right term). The back page is a map you can use for your first space fortress - I'm posting it below as well.

Lots of Space Princess ideas bubbling in my head today, so the next few weeks will see a few posts dedicated to it at The Land of Nod blog. I already want to do an expansion called Space Patrol that will get a little more into a setting, but also throw in some classes, monsters and rules that will make it more useful for depicting characters in a fleet that travels between stars, a "star fleet" one might call it, wearing technicolor uniforms, exploring strange, new worlds (maybe THE Strange New World), etc. etc. etc. You get the idea.

If you buy it, I hope you like it and get some use out of it - and if you come up with your own ideas and additions and post them, please let me know!
