I just finished reading Octavia Butler's Xenogenesis trilogy. What a complex piece of science fiction! I don’t think I've ever encountered aliens as strange and amazingly written as the ones in these books. Wildly unique analogies of gender, race, and colonization.

fyi DTRPG has waived their usual fees, so 98% of your purchase goes directly to Rae via this bundle. If for whatever reason you don't want to use that service, Rae also has an itch page at temporalhiccup.itch.io or you could consider his (somewhat dormant) patreon www.patreon.com/swordqueenga...

We're offering Umdaar as a Pay What You Want title to gauge fan interest in both the game and the Fate system in general. The suggested price is $20 for this 464-page standalone PDF, but if you're just purchasing out of idle curiosity, consider paying at least $1 - it really helps boost the title.
