Description
COOPERATION, UNITY, SUPPORT, AND PROGRESS Welcome to O-12 Born from the failings of the UN and the League of Nations, the O-12 is a place where what passes for interplanetary law across the Human Sphere is born, bred, and ultimately enforced. A bureaucratic monolith, it provides guidance on every topic and imposes order when all other measures fail. It is the one neutral place where all the factions can come together and talk out their differences. Each can contribute, secure in the knowledge that they will be equally able to speak regardless of military might or economic leverage, and who knows, occasionally someone might even listen. Whether marshalling the forces arrayed against the Combined Army, negotiating multilateral trade treaties, or pursuing shoplifters on a Circular, the O-12 is a constant, often quiet part of the Sphere’s everyday life. Partnered with the Sphere’s sole AI, ALEPH, it seeks to promote order above all, despite the natural anarchy that humanity is inclined to pursue.

Rulebooks also encourage creativity and strategic thinking among players.
What types of rulebooks are available?
Rulebooks vary based on the game system and genre. They can include core rulebooks that cover basic gameplay mechanics and setting details, supplemental rulebooks that introduce new rules or expand on specific aspects of the game, and adventure modules that provide pre-written scenarios for GMs and players.

How do I choose the right rulebook?
Choosing the right rulebook depends on several factors such as your preferred game genre (fantasy, sci-fi, horror, etc.), complexity level, and storytelling style. Consider reading reviews, exploring sample pages, and discussing with fellow players to determine if the rulebook aligns with your gaming preferences and group dynamics.
Can rulebooks for different systems be used together?
Rulebooks for different systems are generally designed to be used independently due to variations in rules, settings, and gameplay mechanics. However, experienced game masters may adapt elements from one system to another with careful consideration and adjustments to maintain game balance and narrative coherence.
