Fading Suns material?

Postby Guest » Sat Jun 23, 2001 4:05 am

What type of Fading Suns Material does everyone have here? I have a total of 6 books, which consist of the hardcover fading suns rule book, li-halan feifs, sinful starts, forbidden technology, the preists books, and nobles of the galaxy. I don't play whatever type of role-playing game it is, but the books have a ton of background information. I know Sean (whatever happened to him lately?) had lots as well, and a few others too. I just got the Li-Halan Feifs one today.

I don't have any although I borrowed the original EFS book about a year and a half ago or so from one of my friends.<p>That gave me a lot of the ideas for the League and Church units in Hyperion.<p>I'd actually like to start getting some, but I really want to go to a place where I can look at them before I get them.<p>Do you get yours online or do you go to a local store to get them?<p>Matt

I don't have anything :)<p>I haven't seen them in book shops either, so I'd say that Holistic distributes them directly (although I haven't had much of a look, try searching some online sites of brick+mortar book stores and see if they turn up).<p>Maybe we can ask Holistic to post excerpts from the books on their site?<p>- Deathifier

I also have nothing - but have seen quite all on the Net available materials, the fading sun jumpweb <A HREF="http://www.geocities.com/Area51/Cavern/3027/jumpweb.html" TARGET=_blank>http://www.geocities.com/Area51/Cavern/3027/jumpweb.html</A> gives also other nice stories. About the books, i found at the HDI site <A HREF="http://www.holistic-design.com/FS/Universe/Alustro/GhostStory.htm" TARGET=_blank>http://www.holistic-design.com/FS/Universe/Alustro/GhostStory.htm</A> some extract from the latest book, and <A HREF="http://www.holistic-design.com/FS/FSbooks/FSIntro2.html" TARGET=_blank>http://www.holistic-design.com/FS/FSbooks/FSIntro2.html</A> a intro to the fading suns is also available.<br>All books have ISBN numbers, what means that every normal bookshop can order them for you.

Matt, I buy them from Holistic's site or eBay (which you can get for really cheap). I've never seen them in book stores either. Rest assured, they're all good ;)

I believe that I saw one or two EFS RPG books in a local gaming store about a year ago near me. I was going to buy one but never got the chance, and now there gone. :(<p>Dan

I don't have any of the books either, but I did go and read some of the background on the Holistic site. That gave me enough knowledge to roleplay a House a bit, which is all I wanted. Doubt I'd ever want to pick up the books - I'm *way* too old for roleplaying games ;)

Well, I don't know if anyone actually role plays that stuff, I'm just using it for EFS knowledge, and the fact that's it's quite interesting to read ;) If it wasn't for these, I wouldnt' read anything at all.

I bought the 2nd edition rule book on one of the online bookstores so i could try to stay close to the original universe with my patch. that is the only book i have, but i have read almost everything on holistics website about the FS universe.

I'm still around, just a bit busy these days is all. Had to move my web site twice, and been busy with a variety of projects.<P>One of those projects was a short story set in the FS universe entitled "Slow Fade To Black". There is a copy of this on my own web site<P><a HREF="http://www.bardicheart.com" target="blank">BardicHeart.com</a><P>Or you can read it at the Wordsmith's Guild along with a lot of other great stories by various authors. This story was part of a contest, I'm still waiting to hear if my story won. You can visit the Wordsmiths at<P><a HREF="http://www.fadingsuns.de/" target="blank">Wordsmith's Guild</a><P>
