The Official PLANET OF THE APES RPG Quickstart Rules

Return to the world where Apes rule over a dwindling human population.

In a world turned upside down, civilized apes sit at the top of the evolutionary ladder, ruling over a population of primal humans. But this dominion will not go unchallenged. Wayward astronauts arrive to lead an uprising, questioning this madness and the events that led to this topsy-turvy, backward future. Political intrigue, societal conflict, and fantastical, dangerous mysteries abound on this planet ruled by apes!

This Quickstart is just the beginning of your journey across a planet controlled by apes. This download allows you a glimpse of what's in store for you by letting you play pre-generated ape characters. In addition to adventures and rules for playing pre-generated simians, the complete Role-Playing Game of the Planet of the Apes Core Rulebook will allow your players to create their own characters. Just choose an ape and then choose an archetype to play. With the former quota system abolished, any ape can have any career. And gorillas,  orangutans, and chimpanzees are just the beginning. You can also assume the roles of mute tribal humans, two factions of mysterious mutants, and the most dangerous creatures of all— the so-called “astro-nauts”!

Instead of playing within one character group, you might want a more diverse gaming experience. You can even run adventure parties comprised of apes, mutants, and humans working together! Utilizing the Magnetic Variant of the world-renowned West End Games D6 game system (D6MV), the Core Rulebook also contains rules and statistics for the following: 

• More gear, weapons, and vehicles, including spacecraft.
• Twenty-four character templates to choose from!
• New Character Quirks, Motives, and Remarkable Abilities.
• Heroic Stun Rules.
• Mysterious mutant Psionic Powers.
• Keep track of fear, terror, and tensity with Psychometrics and Mental Trauma rules.
• Statistics for a variety of fearsome Foes, awesome Allies, and mutated Monstrosities.
• Environmental Zone Effects allow you to quickly drop your apes into any hostile environment!
• Random episode hooks and easy episode generator tables help you create your own adventures on a planet where apes evolved from men!
