Terra Primate

This article is a stub. You can help 1d4chan by expanding it

Terra Primate is a roleplaying game using the Unisystem rules published by Eden Studios. Inspired by the Tim Burton remake of the film "Planet of the Apes" as well as the runaway success of All Flesh Must Be Eaten, and possibly also the fact that Planet of the Apes was incredibly big in the 70s, with a live action TV show, a cartoon and multiple comics, Terra Primate offers itself to Games Masters as their one-stop shop for all things related to creating Planet of the Apes inspired games. Unfortunately, it largely fell flat at the starting line because, unlike the zombie movie genre, the Intelligent Ape movie genre was never really that big! As a result, poor old Terra Primate never officially made it beyond a corebook, although there is a netbook floating around called "Serpents & Simians", which aims to be a "Fantasy Expansion Pack" for Terra Primate in the vein of Dungeons & Zombies for AFMBE.

Official Apeworlds

Dominant Species: Directly inspired by the Planet of the Apes series, an Iron Age setting in which intelligent, but bestial, chimpanzees, gorillas and orangutans rule a world in which man are little more than Stone Age savages.

Apeopolis: The player characters discover a hyper-advanced city in the Antarctic ice fields, inhabited by a race of highly intelligent human-like gorillas.

Heart of Africa: A pulp setting in which the players venture to a lost temple claimed by unusually cunning, savage, carnivorous gorillas, a reference to the film Congo.

Majestic Apes: A medieval setting in which intelligent gorillas, chimpanzees and orangutans form the ruling castes over a caste of equally-intelligent but socially inferior human serfs.

Invasion of the Apes: A modernistic setting in which Earth comes under attack by militant apes from a parallel reality. One of the few settings to include intelligent gibbons as well as the "classic trinity".

Island of Dr. Monroe: A setting based on The Island of Doctor Moreau, where the player characters wind up on the mysterious island retreat of a Mad Scientist who has been trying to create newer and more intelligent chimpanzees and gorillas...

Apepocalypse: A post-apocalyptic setting in which humans, the intelligent apes they engineered before the big blast, and horrific mutants must try to survive in a ruined world.

Simians and Sorcerers: A fantasy setting in which the Evil Overlord Valak has enslaved three once-peaceful races of intelligent apes and has turned them into living weapons with which to conquer the world.

Primal Apes: A Stone Age setting in which rudimentary cultures of four species of intelligent apes are developing; chimpanzees, gorillas, orangutans... and humans, or, rather, "Aquans"; in this world, humans have evolved from an amphibious ape species.

Serpents & Simians features the Apeworlds Stormwreaker and Swords, Sorcery & Silverbacks.
