Customer Reviews

A lot of GREAT info for star wars enthuist.

I really enjoyed looking over the TONS of aliens species in this book. It expanded options for players and gm's alike for choices they could do. I enjoyed the many options that were available to you as either a player or gm, or just curious to see what was in the star wars universe. I've never really encountered such depth and brevity together in a sci-fi universe. I did like the way they expanded on the core rulebook races...

Kel Dors, Kushibans, and Falleens...Oh, my!

So far I have just about every release of the new D20 based Star Wars role playing game from Wizards of the Coast (with the exception of the GM screen and character sheets, that is.)- I figured since it was such a welcome departure from the lousy and unheroic WEG game engine that it deserved my attention. And being a complete salivating Star Wars fanatic didn't hurt either. Now, Wizards obviously has a different publishing...

Another quality book for the Star Wars line

Comparing the Ultimate Alien Anthology to the original Alien Anthology is much like comparing a Cadillac to a LeCar. Where the original book evoked yawns with its bland artwork, uninspired layout, and strange, bipolar mix of artistic renderings and photos, the Ultimate book is eye-catching, tasteful, and most importantly, chock full of content. Starting from the outside, this attractive book gets a BIG mark in the plus column...

Wow... that's a lot of species. A must have for every GM

It's like the monster manual, but it's Star Wars... and it's huge. So many species to play, newer pictures and drawings, from the Codru-Ji of Munto Codru to the Zeltron, Celegian and the Defel.At first i didn't find a need to have all these aliens. The Alien Anthology was more than enough for me. But now that i have it, I'm putting in all these colorful characters and species for heroes to interact with, new challenges...

Ever want to play the bunny creature as a character?

Awesome book. Very valuable for players and for GMs. This book is in the new format - HC with great artwork. The book details every kind of playable creature I have heard of. It even contains character types that can fly with wings. The book really does a nice job with these by adding a set of flying rules. In addition to all the new species, the book contains several new prestiege classes, which are very cool and useful!...
