This sourcebook showcases a detailed chronology of the distinctly different timeline that arose out of choices made by both human and ape alike. The ANSA Files are filled with reference resources of the larger-than-life personalities, weapons, and settings from the classic films and novelizations--The Planet of the Apes, Beneath the Planet of the Apes, Escape from the Planet of the Apes, Conquest of the Planet of the Apes, and Battle of the Planet of Apes--plus linking material from the novels Conspiracy of the Planet of the Apes and Death of the Planet of the Apes!

"A planet where apes evolved from men? There's got to be an answer.""Don't look for it, Taylor. You may not like what you find." --George Taylor and Dr. Zaius Beware the beast man! PLANET OF THE APES will challenge every idea you have ever had about a role-playing game. You will be thrust onto a planet where humans are the lowest order of living things--and the superior beings are apes. It's the evolutionary process but in reverse. Become an intellectual Chimpanzee who seeks to better apekind through science and exploration. Choose an Orangutan statesape whose weapons are philosophical debate, political savvy, and the power of the Sacred Scrolls themselves. Perhaps a Gorilla soldier is more your style--honor bound to protect Ape City and lead aggressive expansions into new territories. What else, if not an ape? Be a time-lost astro-naut struggling to grasp a world gone insane. Become a mute tribal human forced to scavenge for resources as you are hunted by murderous gorillas on horseback. The rules even allow you to play mutant survivors who use the power of their minds to turn their enemies against each other. Your adventures in this world of madness will take you to the ruined remains of a world destroyed--see what remained of the Statue of Liberty, the ostentatious Ape City, the foreboding Forbidden Zone, and the mysterious mutant undercity. It is a world defined by the stark contrasts of savagery and civility. Are you ape enough to handle the truth about the world you live in or will you lose your mind to it? Built on the official Magnetic Variant (D6MV) of the classic D6 System role-playing game rules created by West End Games, PLANET OF THE APES is easy to learn yet full of challenges to master. With settings and lore written by sci-fi novelist Andrew E.C. Gaska, this core rulebook contains all you need to roleplay in this upside-down world where apes evolved from humans.
