Plant Life of the Frontiers of Space by Joseph Mohr is a role playing game supplement published by Old School Role Playing for use with Cepheus Engine. As such, it is covered by the Open Game License and some parts are considered to be Open Game Content as a result.
The supplement is available as a 21 page Pay What You Want PDF from DriveThruRPG. Two pages are the front and rear covers, three the front matter and three the Open Game License.
The opening paragraphs explain that the Sonora sector has both abundant animal and plant life. The plants sometimes come from other places whilst sometimes is native to the sector. Some may be even more dangerous than animals and sometimes the difference between such is minimal.
List of Plants of the Sonora Sector takes up the rest of the supplement. This has a variety of plants listed, with descriptions, where they can be found and sometimes variant forms.
Plant Life of the Frontiers of Space in Review
The PDF lacks bookmarks and doesn’t have many sections. Navigation is okay. The text maintains a single column format and some minor errors were noticed. Bar the covers, there are no illustrations. Presentation is adequate.
Though this is marketed as a Cepheus Engine supplement, there are only minimal stats, with most plants having none, making it more generically useful in terms of system. Similarly, though it is technically set in the Frontiers of Space, most of the plants could easily be dropped into other settings. It is therefore a mostly agnostic collection of unusual plants to differing levels of detail that could be used with other systems and settings.
