Byzantium Secundus

Byzantium Secundus is a supplement published by Holistic Design in 1996 for the science fiction space opera role-playing game Fading Suns.

Byzantium Secundus, the first supplement published for the Fading Suns role-playing game,[1] is a 128-page softcover book designed by Christopher Howard, Andrew Greenberg, and Bill Bridges, with interior art by John Bridges, Tim Callender, Mike Chaney, Michael Gaydos, Craig Gilmore, Anthony Hightower, Mark Jackson, Brian Mead, Joshua Gabriel Timbrook, and J. Chadlee Stowe, and cover art by John Poreda.

[3] This supplement provides details of the planet in five chapters and an appendix: In the January 1997 edition of Arcane (Issue 15), Andy Butcher called Byzantium Secundus "a very promising start for the Fading Suns system...

If you want your Fading Suns games to be space opera, and so simplify the issues, a lot of this book is wasted."

"[1] In the August 1997 edition of Dragon (Issue 238), Rick Swan said this supplement "contains all the ingredients for a thrilling campaign", giving it an above average rating of 5 out of 6.
