Legendary game designer James M. Ward brings you Doom on the Warden, a Metamorphosis Alpha adventure of horror in space. The adventure includes pre-generated characters, and is playable as part of a campaign or as stand-alone play. Doom on the Warden is a new frontier for Metamorphosis Alpha, in both style and substance, and for the first time the pre-generated characters include wolfoids!

Written for the original 1976 edition of Metamorphosis Alpha, this adventure expands on the mysterious involvement of Earth’s military aboard the starship Warden. There is new information on what happened in the Warden’s early days. Unraveling the mystery sends the characters through 4 distinct geographical regions, into the secret military command dome, and beyond. Along the way, they will be confronted by threats old and new across 54 possible encounter areas.

A Derelict City on a Colony Ship Hurtling Through Space!

On a spaceship 50 miles long with more than a million colonists, Epsilon City was the single largest habitation. It was filled with entertainment centers, apartments, and offices for all the people moving about the ship during the long voyage. The city was designed to be maintained by its own artificial intelligence (A.I.) and a special series of robots that could repair areas of the city when breakdowns happened.

Epsilon City was less than half full when an interstellar radiation cloud destroyed the people of the ship and turned 99% of them into piles of white ash. The city was wiped out. Now, three hundred years later, things are vastly different in the city. The A.I. is insane and has an aggressive personality. The special robots have had to change or be destroyed, and have mutated much like the rest of the life on the ship. Wolfoid packs now inhabit many sections of the city and consider this metropolis their lair. And many more dangers lurk, hidden and waiting to be explored.

The original edition of Metamorphosis Alpha has celebrated its 40th anniversary! In honor of this milestone, creator James M. Ward has authorized Goodman Games to publish Metamorphosis Alpha: Epsilon City.

This huge expansion for the starship Warden is the biggest expansion for the original 1976 edition ever published!

This is the special gold foil edition of Epsilon City! Contained in the same attractive box as the regular edition, it contains a hardcover edition bound with gold foil imprint, as well as the box’s other contents!

A Solo Adventure

This short adventure is designed to be run solo, or can also be used in a traditional Metamorphosis Alpha game.

From the foreword by author James M. Ward:

"I have never written an MA adventure like this one before. In the fourth version of the MA rules I presented a storyline where the ship runs into an invisible asteroid filled with mushroom and crystal life forms. That storyline has always needed a transition piece that ties the starship Warden into the asteroid. This is that adventure. Take any of your characters from pure strain humans to androids or robots and introduce them to the little valley where the new hole in the ship is presented.One of the unusual features of this product is that this game can be run solo. All you have to do is use a strong character and pay attention to the numbers and you can test out the adventure all by yourself. You can then turn around and run it for any number of friends."

A Character Sourcebook

This incredibly useful supplement features more than 200 new mutations for Metamorphosis Alpha!

From the foreword by James M. Ward:

"This is the one product that MA players have been asking for since the game came out 38 years ago. Mutations are fun to play and fun for the Game Master to run as well.I feel the need to tell a Gary Gygax story here. He honored me by often asking me to run an MA game for his friends. Although Gary played lots of different characters from robots and androids to pure humans, every time he rolled up a mutant, one of the mental abilities of that mutant was TOTAL HEALING.

I would explain to Gary that TOTAL HEALING wasn’t one of the mental choices. He would explain right back to me that it was in his rulebook. I would look at his book and he had written in pencil the TOTAL HEALING choice. I wouldn’t let him use that mutation and the debate would rage for a few minutes until he had to give in. At that time he would always say, “Jim your game will never be complete until the TOTAL HEALING mutation is added to the rules.”

As the years went by and new editions came out he would write in TOTAL HEALING in every booklet and I wouldn’t let him have it. The debate would begin again. As we put together this book, I felt I didn’t have a choice. To honor the best RPG designer in this or any other time, I added TOTAL HEALING."

Now the game is officially complete.

When the colonization starship Warden entered a radiation cloud, every aspect of the ship was corrupted or drastically transformed. The biological mutations have been discussed at length. But the impact on the thousands of robots onboard has never been fully explored!

The starship Warden carried robots stored away to help humankind settle a new world, huge factories intended to manufacture still more useful robots, and automated terraforming machines ready to start work. When the ship passed through the radiation cloud, most of these electronic intelligences went insane!

In Robots Among Us, Metamorphosis Alpha creator James M. Ward provides 17 encounters built around the simple concept of “robots gone awry.” Ranging from a corrupted nanny unit to an angry self-aware war-tank, these encounters will give your players hours of new excitement!

This sourcebook includes more than 150 pieces of new combat equipment for Metamorphosis Alpha! Dozens and dozens of weapons, plus armor and shields; bots, droids, and drones; vehicles and exo-skeletons; and a few other miscellaneous items.

From the foreword by author James M. Ward:

"This is a work of science fiction. The premise is that several cargo holds were filled with useful equipment for a planetary colonization effort, but unknown to the colonists, another hold was filled with powerful military weapons. The military commanders of the colonization starship Warden were the only ones who knew where this special cache was located.This book is intended to stimulate adventures and quests to find and use all of this equipment. It doesn’t matter what set of role-playing rules are used. Just trying to figure out how to use all of the interesting equipment is enough reason to play with this booklet. However, imagine the fun when a group of crazed mutants starts attacking using powerful suits of armor making them stronger and leap incredible distances. Player characters will want to find equipment like that for themselves. Such an effort instantly spawns a fun adventure quest. Or strange robots in the shape of dogs and giant snakes start attacking your town. You need to find out where they come from before they inflict any more damage – the trail leads… that way.

The booklet contains countless adventure possibilities. Whether your characters are primitive tribesmen on the Warden or newly woken soldiers in cold sleep for three hundred years, the Game Master will find this a perfect supplement for high adventure."
