Roll space adventure!

fleets prowl the starlanes, mysterious aliens devise inexplicable fates
for humankind, devilish scientists operate enormous engines of destruction
and swashbuckling princes defend their world from ancient empires.
Each of Starblazer's 281 issues explored a whole adventure set within
the vast galactic empires of the far future, giving the forthcoming
roleplaying game from Cubicle 7 Entertainment a wide variety of settings
to explore. From low-fi space exploration to galaxy-busting wars to
space fantasy epics at the end of time, there is plenty for everyone.
Published by British publisher D.C.Thom pson, Starblazer
was the home to some of the best British science fiction space opera
of the 1970's and 80's. Featuring stunning art and classic space opera
stories, comic creators such as Grant Morrison and John Smith, artists
Enrique Alcatena, Mike McMahon, Cam Kennedy, John Ridgeway, Alan Rogers,
Jaime Oritz, Ian Kennedy, Colin MacNeil and Casanovas Junior helped
bring the fantastic 'spacefiction adventure in pictures' to life.
The
Starblazer licence was picked up by British games publisher Cubicle
7 Entertainment, who also publish SLA Industries and Victoriana. To
help you relive and create your own stories of comic book sci-fi derring
do, the developer, Chris Birch, chose the critically acclaimed FATE
rules system. FATE was recently seen in action with Evil Hat Productions'
popular Spirit of the Century RPG and has been tweaked to give Starblazer
players the full intergalactic meal deal.
The core release will include three detailed
settings based on the very best stories from Starblazer. It will also
detail recurring characters, organisations, empires and aliens such
as the Fi-Sci (the Fighting Scientists of Galac Squad), The Star Patrol,
The Suicide Squad, The Planet Tamer, Cinnibar the barbarian warrior
of Babalon and galactic cop Frank Carter to name just a few.
So don't miss out, Starblazer Adventures is your gateway to a rock 'n
roll sci-fi adventure that will bring friends together as you save the
galaxy in new and dangerous ways!
