Kafer Sourcebook is a supplement published by Game Designers' Workshop (GDW) in 1988 for the hard science fiction role-playing game 2300 AD.
With the introduction in 1987 of the major "Kafer War" storyline, where humanity encounters an aggressive space-faring alien race called the Kafers, Kafer Sourcebook provides detailed information for the gamemaster about the Kafer race, including their physiology, psychology, social structure, government and politics, language, home planet, and technology. Several ideas for adventrures are included.
Publication history
GDW published Traveller 2300 in 1986, quickly retitled 2300 AD to prevent confusion with GDW's previous space opera role-playing game Traveller. The following year, GDW introduced the "Kafer War" plotline in Kafer Dawn, and then published a number of supplements including 1988's Kafer Sourcebook, a 104-page paperback book with a color map written by William H. Keith Jr., with a cover by Steve Venters.[1]
