About The Book
The global sensation of the Planet of the Apes comes to tabletop in this official role-playing game! The Role-Playing Game of the Planet of the Apes will challenge every idea you have ever had about a role-playing game. You will be thrust onto a planet where humans are the lowest order of living things and the superior beings are apes. It’s the evolutionary process—but in reverse. Become an intellectual chimpanzee who seeks to better apekind through science and exploration. Choose an orangutan statesape whose weapons are philosophical debate, political savvy, and the power of the Sacred Scrolls themselves. Perhaps a gorilla soldier is more your style—honor-bound to protect Ape City and lead aggressive expansions into new territories. What else, if not an ape? Be a time-lost astronaut struggling to grasp a world gone insane. Become a mute tribal human forced to scavenge for resources as you are hunted by murderous gorillas on horseback. The rules even allow you to play mutant survivors who use the power of their minds to turn their enemies against each other. Built on the official Magnetic Variant (D6MV) of the classic D6 System role-playing game rules created by West End Games, The Role-Playing Game of the Planet of the Apes is easy to learn yet full of challenges to master. With settings and lore written by sci-fi novelist Andrew E.C. Gaska, this core rulebook contains all you need to role-play in this upside-down world where apes evolved from humans: · Detailed histories and lore from Planet of the Apes · 24 character classes to choose from · Optional Stun and Encumbrance Rules · SRP Defenses create fast-paced combat · Extraordinary Abilities give your PCs an edge · Quirks and Expectations help define character motivation · Statistics for the mutated monstrosities that lurk in the Forbidden Zone · Plus a host of new Gear and Weaponry that will help turn this upside-down world right · Compatible with all Magnetic Press Play’s West End Games D6 products
