Finally! An alien life creator that builds plausible ecosystems from microbes up to plant, animal, and sapient species.





Alien encounters are some of the most exciting aspects of science fiction. In many cases, though, the beings depicted are only slight variations of our own species, often with barely a thought given to the other creatures that populate the native ecosystem.

With =GALACTIC BAROQUE = INSTANT ALIENS your horizons will be vastly expanded! Not merely a rulebook for random alien generation, this guide helps you create exotic, plausible extraterrestrial biospheres from kingdom level down to clades and species. All details of intelligent beings, as well as animals, plants, and microbes are influenced by the initial conditions of the world from which they arose and the organisms from which they descend.

Did intelligent life emerge on this exoplanet? Learn its strengths and weaknesses, determine its technology level, and discover how far from its home (and even out into space) the species has explored. Is your universe filled with humanoid aliens and anthropomorphic beasts? No problem! Our own future will see genetic engineering and directed evolution, where animal species may be uplifted to humanlike sapience. An entire chapter of INSTANT ALIENS will help you through this process.

Writers of any genre, gamers, roleplayers, world-builders, extraterretrial enthusiasts, and more will find this deeply researched book both useful and fascinating. It's a great way to introduce children and students to the wonders of life, too!

Although not required for use, the companion book INSTANT UNIVERSE provides all the information needed to fully detail alien homeworlds, systems, and even galaxies, plus integrates perfectly with INSTANT ALIENS
