not 100% sure about the "Rock and Roll" sub-text
Adobe Reader could not open 'starblazer_preview.pdf' because it is either not a supported file type or because the file has been damaged (for example, it was sent as an e-mail attachment and wasn't correctly decoded).
EDIT: Okay, used link on site, not in post.
It mentions the Adventure Funnel, is the good Dr receiving royalties?
The Doctor was asked if it could be used and he said 'yes'. Hopefully he will get a copy of the game by way of thanks.
fixed link - soze
"THE MEN OF FI-SCI - THE FAMOUS FIGHTING SCIENTISTS"...?
Hilarious.

Don't mock it, these Fi-SCI guys really kick ass.
Goddamn! At long last!
Let's see if it lives up to the hype. The art indeed looks awesome.
Downloaded and looked over 'REAL QUICK'.
Just off the top, I like the -5 to +5 range and the 6d - 6d mechanic.
First time I've heard of this game. I'm a fan of the layout and art direction, I must say. By God, it sure feels like Space Opera.
Ooh, and the "How Do I..." appendix? Every game should have that.
I am really liking what I can see in the preview. It's very much where I would hope it would be, with scalable rules for individuals, ships and organizations. It seems to be a slightly more trad-leaning of the FATE rules than SotC, which I also like. It seems simpler as well. You can do a lot of stuff with this beast.

Scalability seems to be the magic word, here. I'm excited and encouraged to see more.
Intriguing. It's a Fudge-based game, but they've switched over to a TimeLord-esque die mechanic, which pretty much nullifies my biggest complaint about Fudge-based games. And the loopy gonzo space opera thing definitely appeals.
Oh you bastard. For a few seconds there I thought you meant a Star Blazers rpg, and I was all set to fire the wave motion cannon.
Getting my hopes up like that was mean.

You probably could play Star Blazers with Starblazer Adventures, but I would like to put this confusion to rest once and for all.

thinking about it, it should really be
Progressive Rock RPG
or
Space Rock RPG
I was going to say this when I first nabbed this, but guess I missed it.
I have no familiarity with the property on which this is based, but this rocks.
That is all.

Man that would be awesome! Adventuring with Queen Emeraldas, Space Captain Harlock and the Yamato crew. Comet-empires, blue-skinned women who burn like paper, galatic expresses in the shape of steam trains, Cosmo Guns and cool Leiji Matsumoto dialogue:
"There are things a man must sometimes do even if he knows they are impossible.""Die Mazone!"I think my geek-glands are about to explode!
