The Hive and the Flame

ADD TO WISHLIST >

BEST SCIENCE FICTION GAME SUPPLEMENT 2011! as voted by the membership of The Miniatures Page.

In The Hive and the Flame, alien invaders meet the thin red line of the British army. Using the well-tested Sword and the Flame British colonial game engine and Eight Hundred Fighting Englishmen's mechanics for larger scale battles, The Hive and The Flame brings in the alien arthropods from Terry Sofian's Hive, Queen and Country setting.

Advanced Victorian technology, backed up by the guts of rough British Tommies, faces off against giant arthropods armed with claws and mandibles. Even zulus and dervishes can't match the selfless devotion these creatues show to the Hive. Can the humans, with their science and courage, match biological killing machines bred to cleanse a planet of all life? Steampower airships and land machines help to even the contest between the alien invaders and the soft, physically weak humans, who are badly outnumbered by the rapidly breeding creatures.

Larry Brom's original and inventive rules are smoothly integrated with both the alien menace and steampunk technology. Rules and background are included for numerous insectoid invaders, as well as many new weapons and technologies for the Imperial defenders.

The Sword and The Flame and/or Eight Hundred Fighting Englishmen is required to use this product.

Absolutley spiffin publication. Plenty of information to whet the whistle of any gentleman explorer or defender of the Queen's Realms. Artfully contructed, beautiful to behold, and very workable. Lots of story information. VSF at its jolly best. [...]

Scanned image
These products were created by scanning an original printed edition. Most older books are in scanned image format because original digital layout files never existed or were no longer available from the publisher.

For PDF download editions, each page has been run through Optical Character Recognition (OCR) software to attempt to decipher the printed text. The result of this OCR process is placed invisibly behind the picture of each scanned page, to allow for text searching. However, any text in a given book set on a graphical background or in handwritten fonts would most likely not be picked up by the OCR software, and is therefore not searchable. Also, a few larger books may be resampled to fit into the system, and may not have this searchable text background.

For printed books, we have performed high-resolution scans of an original hardcopy of the book. We essentially digitally re-master the book. Unfortunately, the resulting quality of these books is not as high. It's the problem of making a copy of a copy. The text is fine for reading, but illustration work starts to run dark, pixellating and/or losing shades of grey. Moiré patterns may develop in photos. We mark clearly which print titles come from scanned image books so that you can make an informed purchase decision about the quality of what you will receive.

Most newer books are in the original electronic format. Both download and print editions of such books should be high quality.
