According to John Watt's info dump its more then a fancy new paint job; "Clement Sector Third Edition will be available at DTRPG and the Independence Games webstore on December 16. If you have purchased the second edition, be on the lookout for a special offer in your email that will allow you to get the new version at very substantial discount.</span></p><p dir="auto" style="margin: 1em 0px 0px;"><span style="background-color: white; font-family: georgia; font-size: medium;">Folks have been asking me what changes will be in the third edition of Clement Sector and what will be added to it. Along with a lot of clarifications, there are a few changes.</span></p><p dir="auto" style="margin: 1em 0px 0px;"><span style="background-color: white; font-family: georgia; font-size: medium;">There's no intention to invalidate the existing books and force people to buy new ones. Indeed, we're not trying to pressure you into buying this version. However, if you already own the Clement Sector PDF, we're going to provide you with a rather substantial discount to get this PDF.</span></p><p dir="auto" style="margin: 1em 0px 0px;"><span style="background-color: white; font-family: georgia; font-size: medium;">Third edition is 673 pages. The second edition was 270 pages.</span></p><p dir="auto" style="margin: 1em 0px 0px;"><span style="background-color: white; font-family: georgia; font-size: medium;">This is the section from the book on what many of those changes are.</span></p><p dir="auto" style="margin: 1em 0px 0px;"><span style="background-color: white; font-family: georgia; font-size: medium;">"While we consider this to be the third edition of Clement Sector, there are few changes between the rules of second edition and this one. Here, we will cover those changes.</span></p><p dir="auto" style="margin: 1em 0px 0px;"><span style="background-color: white; font-family: georgia; font-size: medium;">This volume exists so that all the pertinent information concerning Clement Sector could be found in one volume and would save newcomers to the system and setting from having to purchase multiple books to have an understanding of the setting. Therefore, the first change from the second edition of Clement Sector is that this book contains the entirety of The Clement Sector Core Setting Book, Clement Sector: The Rules, and Ensemble Cast. The advanced space combat rules from Clement Sector: The Rules will now be found in the upcoming third edition of The Anderson and Felix Guide to Naval Architecture.</span></p><p dir="auto" style="margin: 1em 0px 0px;"><span style="background-color: white; font-family: georgia; font-size: medium;">In addition, this book contains excerpts from several books that we felt would be relevant to the new player. These include the inclusion of two subsectors from Ariel Sector and two subsectors from Tranquility Sector which have appeared in Subsector Sourcebook 5: The Colonies, The Slide, and Unmerciful Frontier: The CCA Sourcebook. This book also contains the Achilles altrant from Tree of Life: Altrants in Clement Sector, uplifted Lions from Wondrous Menagerie: Uplifts in Clement Sector, and the Prisoner career from Diverse Roles. Three vehicles appear here (the American Dreams RetroWheels Grav Cycle, the Croselly Meteor Cruiser, and the FV(G)107 Stoat IFV from 21 Vehicles. The Starlight-class Merchant Vessel is included in this volume which originally appeared in Ships of Clement Sector 4-6: Traders, Scouts, and Small Craft. Information concerning smuggling appears here from Outlaw: Crime in Clement Sector as well as information concerning piracy from Skull and Crossbones: Piracy in Clement Sector. Information concerning visas and the political situation in Clement Sector is taken from Balancing Act: Interstellar Relations in Clement Sector. Information on the history of corporations is taken from Almighty Credit: Corporations in Clement Sector. While we felt it was important to add some of the pertinent information from those books into this one, we think you will still find these books entertaining and useful as well.</span></p><p dir="auto" style="margin: 1em 0px 0px;"><span style="background-color: white; font-family: georgia; font-size: medium;">The major change in this edition from the second edition of this book is the change from the Characteristic of Social or Social Standing to Charisma. This is something which I have long championed and wanted to do and here, in this version, we have. If you’re using older volumes which use SOC, simply change that reference to CHA. It should be a one-to-one switch in most cases. However, if you have a character that you feel is more charismatic than their SOC would indicate, feel free to modify it to better reflect the character’s charisma. After all, the main reason we’re changing this is because I have always felt that Social Standing really had no place in Clement Sector.</span></p><p dir="auto" style="margin: 1em 0px 0px;"><span style="background-color: white; font-family: georgia; font-size: medium;">The other change is within the skill listing. First, we have added Draw. This is to continue to lean into the “space Western” feel of Clement Sector that we are hoping to evoke as well as because it is a fun addition. Feel free to add the skill to characters that you and your Referee feel need to have it.</span></p><p dir="auto" style="margin: 1em 0px 0px;"><span style="background-color: white; font-family: georgia; font-size: medium;">We have removed the skill “Steward” and replaced it with “Chef” and “Etiquette”. Chef, as you might imagine, handles the parts of Steward that once covered cooking and Etiquette handles the parts of Steward which once covered dealing with people and being polite. Adjust your characters accordingly and, if you come across a career track which offers Steward, you are free to pick either Chef or Etiquette.</span></p><p dir="auto" style="margin: 1em 0px 0px;"><span style="background-color: white; font-family: georgia; font-size: medium;">We have also removed Zero-G and melded this into Survival (Freefall). In a similar vein, we have also moved Vacc Suit and Battle Suit into the overall skill “Suit” with specialties which cover these. Simply convert these skills one-to-one as needed."" <br /><br /></span></p><p dir="auto" style="margin: 1em 0px 0px;"><span style="background-color: white; font-family: georgia; font-size: medium;">But is a third edition of the Clement Sector neeeded!!? Well in a word yes! The Clement Sector is a series of rpg products that has evolved over time with their writer & designer's vision. They are indictative of a greater trend in the Cepheus Engine rpg's community. Unlike the normal OSR, the Cepheus Engine community is quite vigious & highly active. Not in a controversal way or a reactionary way but a creative way. The Clement Sector campaign setting has literally evolved over time & consolidated its contents into a usable campaign setting. This is because its writer is highly active in molding it to be complete open & playable as a campaign for 2d6 old school science fiction play. <br />Overlooking the third edition of the Clement sector  & reading through the pdf since last night brings a sense of smoothing out a few of the rougher patches. This isn't to say that the book doesn't have room for the DM to drop their own star system or sub sectors into the Clement Sector quite the opposite. The Clement Sector seems to read a bit better as fully realized  & written campaign setting. But there's a wrinkle with the Clement sector; "In 2210, scientists discovered a wormhole allowing travel to the opposite side of the Milky Way galaxy.  Once across, exploration teams discovered worlds far more suited to human habitation than those in star systems nearer to Earth.  Were they terraformed by some unknown race?  Are they just a coincidence in the vast diversity of the universe?</span></p><p><span style="background-color: white; font-family: georgia; font-size: medium;">Over the ensuing years humans left Earth and began to colonize these worlds.  Nation-backed colonies.  Corporate colonies.  People who simply no longer felt compelled to remain on Earth.  The best and brightest.</span></p><p><span style="background-color: white; font-family: georgia; font-size: medium;">In 2331, the unthinkable happened.  The wormhole collapsed leaving those in Clement Sector cut off from Earth.  Now these new worlds and new civilizations must stand on their own.</span></p><p><span style="background-color: white; font-family: georgia; font-size: medium;">The year is 2342.  Adventure awaits!" <br /><br />You've got two sectors for the price of one! You've got the Earth sector & you've got the Clement Sector both of which have gone along their mary way as the bloody worm hole collapsed. Both of which have their own campaign setting 'bug a boos'. And this isn't a bad thing. The DM needs to choose where, when, & how they want their campaign to run. <br />And third edition of the Clement Sector goes a long way towards making that happen. It smooths out the details, clarifies the rules, brings in new material, & expands upon the possibilities of adding in your own spin on the Clement sector. <br /><br /></span></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/a/AVvXsEinianUFeCYHlXW6gbmuVaMX_c24ewSsk9049i-6_wql1aFbSHamO2c0UsfPXdrLTVMjcWhaCtuudWjCq05BDNstiKOGUMLyQxWesgXBBhHmje9XTUdmvWzxV5qIpdGcpqnCeEWlimSLcIKE3HL0ft1YEsXgapRl7NG33u5Z0WCscBi4kFS7NInjVk6=s1165" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1165" data-original-width="900" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/a/AVvXsEinianUFeCYHlXW6gbmuVaMX_c24ewSsk9049i-6_wql1aFbSHamO2c0UsfPXdrLTVMjcWhaCtuudWjCq05BDNstiKOGUMLyQxWesgXBBhHmje9XTUdmvWzxV5qIpdGcpqnCeEWlimSLcIKE3HL0ft1YEsXgapRl7NG33u5Z0WCscBi4kFS7NInjVk6=w494-h640" width="494" /></a></div><br /><p></p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p><span style="font-family: georgia;"><br /><span style="font-size: medium;">I'm not sure that the Clement Sector oozes a 'Space Western' feel but it certainly oozes a 'last frontier' feel to it. This is a sector that isn't going to be tamed easily and its gonna result in a lot of PC's deaths! So its handy to have a Clement Sector PC sheet.But is Clement Sector worth the money?! Thirty dollars for a soft cover six hundred & seventy five page monster of a book is well worth it in today's rpg market.

font-size: medium;"><br /> Its been a very busy day today & there hasn't been a ton of time for hobby related stuff until late this afternoon. But talking over Arduin rpg this afternoon with some friends has been interesting to say the least. There's three things that have always appealed to some folks about Arduin. The scope of Arduin as a setting isn't actually all that big. So DM's can scale the adventures to the player's PC's. The fact that power attracts power means that your character is gonna be at the center of the action. Consider the fact that monsters are going to try to eat your face but because of Nexus Gates you could potentially encounter anything. <br />  The fact that much of Hargrave's material could be plugged into many of the Seventies &  Eighties Judge's Guild adventures was or is  a huge plus. <br /><br /></span></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjeJw1pM-KH8cYWCplpNoDo2M_oi9vhcczZq_NLmQ65ANLK42_372xvxuKiwqkges_dxf5sbLExFq7Ucd9b3j-S2zccadHPdSIJzyvSW2buRyfQhDF2BjVghYHDczLtXmeOH3FB1UsyOsg/s510/117725.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><span style="font-family: georgia; font-size: medium;"><img border="0" data-original-height="510" data-original-width="357" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjeJw1pM-KH8cYWCplpNoDo2M_oi9vhcczZq_NLmQ65ANLK42_372xvxuKiwqkges_dxf5sbLExFq7Ucd9b3j-S2zccadHPdSIJzyvSW2buRyfQhDF2BjVghYHDczLtXmeOH3FB1UsyOsg/w448-h640/117725.jpg" width="448" /></span></a></div><span style="font-family: georgia; font-size: medium;"><br />Was the choice to dive into the Dave Hargrave world Arduin worth the price of admission?! To a certain extent the answer is yes. Why?! Because the fact is that any band of adventurers if they survived the uncertainties of life & limb on Arduin can & will come into their own. <br />Using a combination of Judges Guild & Arduin material with Advanced Dungeons & Dragons first edition a group of players could potentially end up as royals after a few years of play. This goes back to something that a bunch of us with my uncle's gaming group had noticed. <br /><br /><br /></span><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjMaIjwXOWqb_rU_AP9wkQzDSmcBE7Z8uodzbmoLZftKPo5f7Ah_yq9yAVxcB9ba53YMXgbJdweLzrDZKWNmxwele9Q44Mf_tZAadRM9Fjo-4cKU4CNKVSzBTMAAaxVHB3bH0HetgUlCU8/s1125/ADD_Players_Handbook_Old_p1.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><span style="font-family: georgia; font-size: medium;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1125" data-original-width="826" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjMaIjwXOWqb_rU_AP9wkQzDSmcBE7Z8uodzbmoLZftKPo5f7Ah_yq9yAVxcB9ba53YMXgbJdweLzrDZKWNmxwele9Q44Mf_tZAadRM9Fjo-4cKU4CNKVSzBTMAAaxVHB3bH0HetgUlCU8/w470-h640/ADD_Players_Handbook_Old_p1.jpg" width="470" /></span></a></div><span style="font-family: georgia; font-size: medium;"><br />Arduin is built to have stuff happening to the player's PC's  with all of its random tables, races, and what not so that campaign play happens. No we're  not talking about 'wild & crazy' events here. We're talking about the type of play that promotes organized domain play of the Arduin variety. As has been said elsewhere on this blog. Dave Hargrave was ahead of the curve of 'fashion' of rpg's by decades. And even with say out saying it. Arduin was created by Dave for the players to make it their own. Even more so then say Greyhawk or other canned world campaign settings. Its this customization through play that's a part of the Arduin legacy. Each DM's Arduin is going to more then slightly different then the others across planet Earth. That's all well & good. Campaign worlds need to be defined not through books of campaign setting lore but through actual table top action & decisions. </span><br /> <div style='clear: both;'></div> </div> <div class='post-footer'> <div class='post-footer-line post-footer-line-1'> <span class='post-author vcard'> Posted by <span class='fn' itemprop='author' itemscope='itemscope' itemtype='http://schema.org/Person'> <meta content='https://www.blogger.com/profile/11243274667834930867' itemprop='url'/> <a class='g-profile' href='https://www.blogger.com/profile/11243274667834930867' rel='author' title='author profile'> <span itemprop='name'>Needles</span> </a> </span> </span> <span class='post-timestamp'> at <meta content='http://swordsandstitchery.blogspot.com/2021/05/osr-commentary-defining-parameters-of.html' itemprop='url'/> <a class='timestamp-link' href='http://swordsandstitchery.blogspot.com/2021/05/osr-commentary-defining-parameters-of.html' rel='bookmark' title='permanent link'><abbr class='published' itemprop='datePublished' title='2021-05-25T15:42:00-07:00'>3:42 PM</abbr></a> </span> <span class='post-comment-link'> <a class='comment-link' href='http://swordsandstitchery.blogspot.com/2021/05/osr-commentary-defining-parameters-of.html#comment-form' onclick=''> No comments: </a> </span> <span class='post-icons'> <span class='item-control blog-admin pid-1389871235'> <a href='https://www.blogger.com/post-edit.g?blogID=7672684189982389944&postID=5015977009904475407&from=pencil' title='Edit Post'> <img alt='' class='icon-action' height='18' src='https://resources.blogblog.com/img/icon18_edit_allbkg.gif' width='18'/> </a> </span> </span> <div class='post-share-buttons goog-inline-block'> <a class='goog-inline-block share-button sb-email' href='https://www.blogger.com/share-post.g?blogID=7672684189982389944&postID=5015977009904475407&target=email' target='_blank' title='Email This'><span class='share-button-link-text'>Email This</span></a><a class='goog-inline-block share-button sb-blog' href='https://www.blogger.com/share-post.g?blogID=7672684189982389944&postID=5015977009904475407&target=blog' onclick='window.open(this.href, "_blank", "height=270,width=475");

It also published a small line of comic books and other magazines. Skywald's first publication was <i>Nightmare</i> #1 (Dec. 1970). The company lasted through the end of 1974 or early 1975, with <i>Psycho</i> #24 (March 1975) being its final publication. <i>Nightmare</i> published 23 issues and <i>Scream</i> put out 11 issues." Saga of the Victims is a pulpy, weird trippy, over the top beyond gonzo horror comic from the folks at Skywald publications.  Scream issue number 6 featured the introduction to the Saga of the victims, tells  the story of two young girls from the Scollard Manse School for Girls in Manhattan, where they are kidnapped by horrific mutants  in the Manse and dragged deep down into the depths of the school right into the underworld of alternative Earth. This is only the beginning for the ladies of Saga. But there are several very unusual characteristics about our heroines. First of all the ladies are very,very, slick and skilled. They don't just overcome their circumstances they kick ass and survive. There was also cheesecake, bondage/fetish overtones, sci-fi and horror trappings and lots and lots of crazy 1960s-style cosmic weirdness.

Not only were these heroines capable of out thinking their tormentors they did it with style and murderous wit  that I've only seen matched a few times.  The ladies faced everything from  skinless businessmen, robots, pterodactyls, midget Nazis, zombie pirates, mutants, and worse. The problem is that there was never any resolution that I've seen, Skywald went belly up before the ending could be revealed.</div></span><span style="background-attachment: initial; background-clip: initial; background-image: initial; background-origin: initial; background-position: initial; background-repeat: initial; background-size: initial; border-image: initial; box-shadow: rgba(0, 0, 0, 0.2) 0px 0px 20px; color: #333333;"><div style="text-align: left;"><img border="0" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhKlGjzub3UxjfNW0AccRS_BDQNPYA0MB9REdKwx9gq3ChqekbDLgLeQgKUtvRl424qDYujOiCE1E24QCBcn70-T69xebb19UBgnY64ded_q3olk9U_5xdpW7mfdPh2sLpemn4B3zNfJ78/s640/cc-05.png" style="background-attachment: initial; background-clip: initial; background-image: initial; background-origin: initial; background-position: initial; background-repeat: initial; background-size: initial; border-radius: 0px; border: 1px solid rgb(204, 204, 204); box-shadow: rgba(0, 0, 0, 0.2) 0px 0px 20px; padding: 8px;" width="496" /></div></span><span style="color: #333333;"><div style="text-align: left;">As other comic blogs have described the series as 'the strip was quite simply a wild ride of exploitation glee with each episode the girls getting put through increasingly more terrifying scenarios with little no rhyme or reason as to why what was happening or where it all was heading (leaving the reader to think creator Hewetson must have been thinking 'what misery can I put the girls through this episode?

You can think of this book as a candy sampler of retro science fiction goodness that never existed until now. This starts with the cover which pays a nice nod to the original Star Frontiers game to the layout and graphics which references everything from Marvel style sci fi comic series to things like Star Wars. This is a style choice and a very well done idea in what it does. </span></div><div style="background-color: white; color: #333333; text-align: left;"><span style="font-family: georgia;">Nine ninety nine might seem a bit steep for a simple but its not because this is wall to wall well done artwork.

Trust me, this is a world where one week your adventurers will be battling PHARESMID SYNDICATE and then taking down the machinations of the THE VOKUN EMPIRE. Its all right there at your finger tips and best of all its system neutral. </span></div><div style="background-color: white; text-align: center;"><div style="color: #333333; text-align: left;"><span style="font-family: georgia;">Use it with your favorite OSR sci fi retroclone or Traveller or Fate or whatever system you want. I see how and why the author has done what he's done. This is a solid impact of a book into the sci fi market. Very cool and I highly recommend this book.</span></div><br /><div style="color: #333333; text-align: left;"><u><span style="font-family: georgia;">Using The Strange Stars Campaign Setting </span></u></div><div style="text-align: left;"><span style="color: #333333;"><span style="font-family: georgia;"><br /></span></span></div><div style="text-align: left;"><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><img border="0" data-original-height="230" data-original-width="400" height="288" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiQcGzvDEX6nehhQGsNFrMU2zlfxyclpZXF1p9Sn7pqIp4eBTRLnmR6sNMy-_faB5_LMvEmDs3-63iEZUPwWfXeAwHJIM12P2AeWM_d-0gxPw-x6IEUNVxeOZI2rn_wyvUxOmrauAQPKp0/w500-h288/Sholtis+Strange+Stars+blog.png" width="500" /><br /><br /></div><span style="font-family: georgia;">Jason Sholtis homage artwork  to Marvel's Fin Fang Foom in Strange Stars remains one of my favorite pieces of his artwork. </span></div><span style="font-family: georgia;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: left;"><span style="font-family: georgia;">A lot of OSR retroclones, sci fi settings & more have come & gone from the marketplace since I wrote this review for the Strange Stars OSR rule & setting book. But the majority of my points still stand. There's a lot of science fantasy material here that could used with many of the OSR games on the market. <a href="https://www.drivethrurpg.com/product/148169/White-Star-White-Box-Science-Fiction-Roleplaying-Swords--Wizardry">The White Star Rpg</a> comes to mind here but there's plenty more. And while the  Stars Without Number rpg has now gone into its second edition & I haven't had the time to truly investigate it. The Strange Stars books were perfectly suited for the SWN first edition game in spades. <br /><br /></span><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><span style="font-family: georgia;"><img border="0" data-original-height="228" data-original-width="400" height="285" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhjldY0rjmBpzzBfhMIvIfTUWOPrVpIT5C60qubVoyzmbNWsAaX53tWmcQ4ZxjeV_O3_98uhdYuZiQHO0nNz-OLkpL3RAhEyWAZWIkCc-EBFV3ZQ4kB3cNvbGoZofg5jE4qc72Af_c9AYM/w500-h285/davidlewisjohnson_salvage+on+gogmagog.png" width="500" /><br /><br />Strange Stars has its points for independent intergalactic role playing in spades this makes it perfect fodder for Venger Satanis's Cha'alt series especially <a href="https://www.drivethrurpg.com/product/321444/Chaalt-Fuchsia-Malaise">Cha'alt: Fuchsia Malaise campaign book</a> which fits the politic of Strange Stars as both setting & rule book!

Greyhawk orbits around it & Hyperborea is near one of the sixty two (sixty three?) moons of Saturn. Greyhawk's golden age might have been in fact much more marked by the passage of Ragnarok. Humanity was led to the safety of Greyhawk because of the sacrifice of the deities of Old Earth.

It would be extremely rare. I'm talking 'The Seventh Voyage of Sinbad' film rare. The Free City of Greyhawk is the focus of a place of incredible Sword & Sorcery ancient learning like <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Library_of_Alexandria">the Library of Alexandria. </a><br />This is the setting where the  Xian wizards would sell their black hearted souls to go.

After cyber... erm fanboying out with these two I got one last question in the mix. 'Whose your favorite author/designer besides Gary Gygax? The answer was <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mike_Carr_(game_designer)">Mike Carr</a> whose work in the game design field is right within the classic period from 1968 through 1983.</span></div> <div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"> </div> <div style="text-align: left;"> <span style="background-color: white; font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;"><iframe allow="accelerometer; autoplay; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture" allowfullscreen="" frameborder="0" height="315" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/ybGNkI3rE3E" width="560"></iframe><br /><br />To be quite frank the answer surprised me. But <a href="https://www.drivethrurpg.com/product/17081/B1-In-Search-of-the-Unknown-Basic">B1 In Search of the Unknown</a> is one of my all time favorite modules. So I grabbed my copy & began to really dig into the module once again.

I'm speaking of course of the classic B1  In Search of The Unknown by Mike Carr. <b>The sourcebook is a free jammed packed piece of OSR goodness with all kinds of old school awesomeness. Its available for download in the fifth paragraph down with the words," Demos Sachlas (paleologos of Dragonsfoot) has assembled a mighty B1 Campaign Sourcebook (link is for pdf download; linked here with permission), which is subtitled "a collection of original work and material gathered from the pages of Dragonsfoot and elsewhere on the internet".
