Plot summary

From the Deeps of Space is an adventure scenario in which the player characters must stop the aliens of Capella who have taken over the village called Midville. [1]

Reception

Craig Sheeley reviewed From the Deeps of Space in Space Gamer No. 72. [1] Sheeley commented that "a beautiful adventure. It can be translated to any other superhero roleplaying system, too; the plot is that great. With a name like From the Deeps of Space, how can you lose?" [1]

William A. Barton reviewed From the Deeps of Space for Different Worlds magazine and stated that "Overall, From the Deeps of Space is a well-conceived idea for outer-space superhero action and, except for the minor flaws noted, is competently executed as well. The ideas here can be converted relatively painlessly to most other superhero role-playing games in addition to V&V. I can easily see a group of Heroes Unlimited, Superworld, or Champions characters taking on the Capellans - though aficionados of the Marvel Super Hero system might experience problems in converting Deeps to that game. Thus this scenario would be a good buy for almost anyone interested in superheroic role-playing with a more traditional science-fiction setting than is usually the case." [2]
