"Planet of Darkness is an adventure designed for the ALTERNITY science fiction roleplaying game. It takes place in the Oberon star system, described in the STAR*DRIVE campaign setting. You can play it as a stand-alone adventure or use it as the foundation for a trade-based, Progress Level 7 campaign. In these pages, you'll find general information about the planet Lison and how to managa a campaign on this unusual world. The heroes become entangled in the machinations of two stellar nations determined to take more than their share of Lison's most precious resource: rhodium. Act I: Rhodium Run introduces heroes to life and trade on Lison. Through their dealings, the heroes uncover a sinister plot involving a cykotek oxygen runner and a nefarious black marketeer. Act II: The Omega Agenda challenges heroes to investigate the disappearance of oxygen runners on the planet's surface and expose an insidious enemy threatening the rhodium trade. Act III: Eclipse puts heroes against a stellar nation ready to take the entire world hostage. With the aid of some alien artifacts, the heroes must breach the defenses of a dreadnought to end the blockade." 1999 ... Christopher Perkins ... 64 pages ... TSR 11328 ...

"For the past decade, klicks have struck at the humans of the Hammer's Star system and then vanished into the depths of space. All we've been able to do is react to their attacks. Striking back hasn't been an option - but that's about to change. A few weeks ago, a Concord cutter found a gutted ship drifting in space, her crew dead. The officer commanding the cutter ordered his crew to recover the computer core. They found that it contained the location of what could only be a klick base. The Concord has seized this oppurtunity to take the war to the enemy. Klick Clack sends heroes into the very jaws of the lion. It is modular in design, allowing Gamemasters to reuse the base in future adventures. Included in the product is a map of the base itself, and - for the first time - schematics of a klick attack ship! Designed for the STAR*DRIVE setting, Klick Clack is also usable with any other campaign based on the ALTERNITY game rules." 1999 ... 32 pages + map ... TSR 11364 ...

"An abandoned car, stolen by a desperate thief. A mysterious body, dead of unknown causes. The Point Pleasant "mothman" sightings of the 1960s. A corporation that introduces revolutionary devices into the American home. Archaic Native American burial mounds and a shaman's lingering curse. Bioweapon research developed from samples taken from the depths of the Earth. Strange as it may seem, these items are cloesly related. Discovering how, and why, is what The Killing Jar is all about. What begins as a simple investigation by the heroes quickly develops into a tangled plot of old secrets and new deceptions. With the aid of unhuman allies, the player characters must unravel the mystery before they become that latest victims of an ancient horror. An adventure designed for the DARKMATTER setting, The Killing Jar is also appropriate for any other modern-day conspiracy campaign using the ALTERNITY Science Fiction Roleplaying Game rules." 2000 ... 64 pages ...
