Shatterzone players, rejoice. West End is about to release a book which is absolutely essential to game play and will save you a lot of time. It's called Stock Ships, and it contains a plethora of new equipment, some new rules, and a host of ready-to-use vessel diagrams. It includes samples of most every imaginable ship type from in system. shuttle to Fleet dreadnought. It's a book for players and gamemasters alike. My interest in the book is keen, because I wrote and illustrated it. I think you'll like it even if you've never heard of Shatterzone. But wait, there's more! Space is the final frontier, and the lack of it often spells death for some 'of the material that an author or illustrator produces for a product. That's what happened here. The editors ran out of space and had to make hard choices. Ultimately, they decided to cut some of the ships from the finished product. We all wish it were oth. erwise, but anyone who has written a prod. uct for publication understands that these things happen. Fortunately, that additional material is not truly lost. The good people at West End and here at SHADIS Magazine all want you to have it. Therefore, what follows is an official supplement to the Shatterzone universe and a primer of what you can expect to find in the book Stock Ships. The ships were designed using the material presented in Techbook: Ships and Stock Ships. Read it, enjoy it, and use it in your games.
