Slavelords of Cydonia is the first adventure sourcebook for Bad Axe Games' Grim Tales. Set in a time and place of the GMs choosing, Slavelords of Cydonia pits the heroes against tentacled horrors from beyond the stars in a world-spanning struggle to avert a second cataclysmic war. The book features a complete campaign for adventurers level 1-20, in addition to supplementary source material presenting new monsters, spells, technology, races, feats, and talents suitable for any Grim Tales campaign. Slavelords of Cydonia is 100% compatible with the latest edition of world's most popular roleplaying game, and can be played with or without the Grim Tales campaign rulebook.

The full-resolution views of each Cydonia image are provided in the list below. Each has been processed to remove the vertical striping that is caused by the non-uniform sensitivity of the MOC narrow angle camera. No additional processing has been applied. In particular, these images are usually not oriented with north to the top. Many ... have aspect ratios greater than 1 (this means that craters will look "squished"). For those who want detailed information on these images that can be used to process them further, an ancillary data table is provided.

Cydonia has the appearance of a peninsula that broke apart. Figure 2 is a closer look at Cydonia. The south end of the peninsula is mostly still intact. The north end has broken up. There are many angular, even square looking pieces. A mechanism that would bring about such structures would be a recent lava flow with a hardened surface and fluid beneath.

In addition to picking up some tricks from the world of trip-hop, Cydonia has something the Orb has traditionally avoided: neat, clean tracks. While they largely avoid the pat repetition that defines a large part of the techno universe, they ... mostly lack the sometimes self-indulgent flowing, swaying, abstract qualities that have defined Orb tracks in the past. "Restraint" and "structure" are two words not generally applied to the Orb's musical excursions, but they're both present on Cydonia.

[T]he overhead images of the Cydonia pyramids as seen by Viking and aerial photos of the Egyptian pyramids are strikingly similar. Could the structures on both planets have been constructed by the same ancient civilization? Proponents of the theory claimed that the Face on Mars was similar in many respects to the Egyptian Sphinx. Was some ancient race of beings present on both Earth and Mars? Did the same race seed both planets with intelligent life? The possibility was staggering in its implications.

Cydonia is truly the greatest gift from ETI to terrestrials. A titanic MUSEUM specifically designed to be imaged by spacecrafts. It is only 'solar shadows' what depict this quasi-divine Work in a canvas of nearly 9000 (km)^2 (radius=53.2 km = 1/100 of distace from pole to martian equator). Thus it is imperative to image Cydonia at all times of the martian day: shadows change dramatically and information is precious at sunset, at noon and at sunrise as well. Can the current 'Odyssey' (feb-2002) do better job than the 1976-Viking ?.
