If this is an Alternity game, can I use the old books to know the setting a bit more?
Though I admire people taking time to read up on things for more game knowledge, I’d have to say no on this one. This is an alternate setting for Alternity Stardrive, and I’ve made quite a lot of changes (yes, I wiped out the aliens) so reading up on Fraal history would be useless. However, you may read up on the factions available in the Alternity books, since they are largely unchanged… except that the majority of the non-major factions are all in the Verge now, instead of the Stellar Ring. The map is also drastically changed. This lack of metaknowledge is my attempt to simulate just how the Galactic Federation tends to hide their secrets in Interstellar travel and mapping.
