Edition Summary

Battlelords of the Twenty-Third Century is a d100, skill based system, that allows you to create a player character that is a complete individual. Hundreds of skills and thousands of pieces of weaponry and equipment allow you to make your character whatever you want. We've got a race for everyone to play: from the Eridani Swordsaints, with their strict code of honor, to the fun loving Orion Rogue, to the huge but dimwitted Ram Python who's favorite saying is "If it moves, kill it. If it doesn't move, pick it up and kill it." Some races wield Matrix Powers, like the Mutzachans, allowing them to affect the fabric of time and space. The system is balanced between realism and fast playability. Battlelords is all about releasing your imagination. Unlike many RPGs, you have a whole universe to adventure in; anything can happen. Battlelords is a game, and like all of our products, is designed so you can have fun.

The challenge to Battlelords of the 23rd Century is playing aliens whose mindsets are completely different from elves and dwarves, or anything else you've become used to playing. It was the interaction of these races in a hostile environment that our playtesters found to be the most enjoyable when playing the game. In short, the company has hired to perform difficult and dangerous missions, a bunch of individuals who fundamentally don't get along with each other. Killing one another is out of the question because that is destroying company property, which carries the Death Penalty.

Notes on This Edition
This 4th edition of the rules features an Eridani on the cover. Note that there are two printings of this cover, the earlier of which is very similar to the 3rd edition "red book".
