open-in-new
<p><i>Alternity</i> is a science fiction <a href="/facts/Role-playing_game/bN0QjhPs">role-playing game</a> (RPG) published by <a href="/facts/TSR%2c_Inc./fUfhyTN4">TSR</a> in <a href="/facts/1997_in_games/t6AgRH6F">1997</a>. Following the acquisition of TSR by <a href="/facts/Wizards_of_the_Coast/QNYRhAT8">Wizards of the Coast</a>, the game was discontinued in 2000 as part of a broader rationalisation of TSR's business holdings, but it retains a small and devoted fanbase. Parts of <i>Alternity</i> as well as TSR's classic <i><a href="/facts/Star_Frontiers/beSRlwrz">Star Frontiers</a></i> game were later incorporated into the <i><a href="/facts/D20_Modern/slX0c4sg">d20 Modern</a></i> game, especially the <i><a href="/facts/D20_Future/xBX5vlQJ">d20 Future</a></i> setting. <i>Star*Drive</i> was the first campaign setting published for <i>Alternity</i>, and was introduced in 1998. </p>
