Description: An encyclopedic sourcebook for the classic Planet of the Apes franchise for use to expand the adventures in the official role-playing game!
Bring the cinematic thrills and shocking twists of the five original Planet of the Apes movies to your tabletop game. Now you can interact with the apes and humans that have come directly from the silver screen--Caesar, Taylor, Zira, Hasslein, and, of course, Dr. Zaius--every iconic character is gamified for campaign use with biographies and statistics. This sourcebook showcases a detailed chronology of the distinctly different timeline that arose out of choices made by both human and ape alike. The ANSA Files are filled with reference resources of the larger-than-life personalities, weapons, and settings from the classic films and novelizations--The Planet of the Apes, Beneath the Planet of the Apes, Escape from the Planet of the Apes, Conquest of the Planet of the Apes, and Battle of the Planet of Apes--plus linking material from the novels Conspiracy of the Planet of the Apes and Death of the Planet of the Apes! With more than five times the adventure in one place, this sourcebook lets you experience the span of the POTA universe like never before . . .Brief description: E. L.
