Trebuchet Posted August 21, 2004 Report Share Posted August 21, 2004 I just got Galactic Champions, and was intrigued by the Xenovore supervillain Maraud. But I know nothing about the Xenovores except they have castes. Can somebody give me a capsule summary of the Xenovores. I'm not asking for anything major or copywritten, just some idea of what they're all about. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BobGreenwade Posted August 21, 2004 Report Share Posted August 21, 2004 Re: Lowdown on the Xenovores? They are somewhat insectoid humanoid aliens that consider all other sentient life food. All other life, period, really. Sentient life is known as "food that pleads." The full description for Xenovores can be found in Alien Wars.

Sociotard Posted August 21, 2004 Report Share Posted August 21, 2004 Re: Lowdown on the Xenovores? You can find two other xenovore critters in the Bestiary: the Warhound and *some kind of eagle looking thing whose name I can't remember* The Warhound makes a great Warg, for what its worth.

tabascojunkie Posted August 27, 2004 Report Share Posted August 27, 2004 Re: Lowdown on the Xenovores? I thought how they refer to humans as "soft food that pleads and screams " was one of the coolest things in AW. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Trebuchet Posted August 28, 2004 Author Report Share Posted August 28, 2004 Re: Lowdown on the Xenovores? I was thinking of using the xenovores as heavies in my Champions campaign, which is about to go on a space adventure story arc. Do you think they'd be suitable for that?

GamePhil Posted August 28, 2004 Report Share Posted August 28, 2004 Re: Lowdown on the Xenovores? Yes, they are quite suitable as villains for a Champions game: they have all the charm and sensitivity of the Brood from Marvel Comics. Alien Wars is also a great little book, even if you never use it for the Military SF setting that it is specifically designed for. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And since humanity was able to defeat them in the 24th century, their technology should not prove unsurmountable for experienced superheroes. That's exactly what I needed to know. Thanks. Guess I'd better get my FLGS to order me a copy of Alien Wars. Man, I'm putting Steve Long's kids through college... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DrTemp Posted August 28, 2004 Report Share Posted August 28, 2004 Re: Lowdown on the Xenovores? Guess I'd better get my FLGS to order me a copy of Alien Wars. It's a really good book. You'll quite probably enjoy the reading. Man, I'm putting Steve Long's kids through college... Why not. Good work deserves good payment.
