Repo Man - for Cepheus Engine

Repo Man is a supplement for Cepheus Engine and other 2D6 based SciFi games that presents a new career path as one of those brave interstella repossession agents. A lot of independent star crews skip out on paying the mortgage they have on their ship. They think that if they disappear into the deep dark the debt will go away and they can live the good life in a stolen ship.

The banks of the galaxy are not happy to see all that money riding off into the void, so they employ Repo Men. As a repossession agent you'll be plying the space lanes employing devious technology and underhanded techniques to recover the stolen merchandise. Once you have the ship in hand and have... disposed... of the crew, there'll be a big bounty to claim, provided you can dodge the local law and the navy.

Inside this product you'll find:

1. a new career
2. a view of the legal issues agents face
3. details of the new technology used by agents
4. specialist language of the career
5. scenario prompt generator tables
