The Cosmozoan Cards series is now complete, with 20 sets of Awareness / Energy / Morphology cards. You can now randomly create 20x20x20 = 8,000 cosmozoan creatures.
There are three kinds of Cosmozoan Cards:
- Awareness (type of thought)
- includes Communications, Computers, Command, Conn, Crew, Values, and a special rule;
- illustrated with an icon.
- Energy (energy used in metabolism; often what it eats and also what it emits)
- includes Traits, Engines, Sensors, Security, Engineering, Power, Scale, Resistance, Shields, and two attacks;
- Shields is dependent on the Morphology Card, so the final value is not calculated – but it should be easy to obtain the value with the formula on the card;
- illustrated with a particle.
- Morphology (cosmozoan physical type)
- includes NPC category, Structure, Weapons, Science, Medicine, Immunities, Focuses, and another special rule;
- Cosmozoans are (almost) always immune to Vacuum and Cold;
- illustrated with an image resembling the morphology.
Pick one of each kind, and you have your cosmozoan creature! Some combinations may take creative license from the GM, but that’s a feature, not a bug – and might even inspire you to come up with interesting ecologies.
Also, an online generator version will be completed soon, allowing you to generate cosmozoans on the fly, or pick specific combinations and print the creature you need.
