Steve Posted April 17, 2014 Author Report Share Posted April 17, 2014 Well, of course, Lensman is such a setting. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SteelCold Posted June 25, 2014 Report Share Posted June 25, 2014 The Adventures of Captain Zoom in Outer Space (1995) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tikiman Posted June 26, 2014 Report Share Posted June 26, 2014 Flash Gordon actually took place in the present, not the future! But still a great setting. I would love to play in something like the Sam Jones/Timothy Dalton/Melody Anderson/Ornella/Max von Sydow/Chaim Topol/Brian Blessed movie version. That would be so much fun.

John Desmarais Posted June 11, 2015 Report Share Posted June 11, 2015 Armageddon 2419 A.D. by Philip Francis Nowlan. The original novella the created Buck Rogers. Modern copies are usually both novellas in the two part story: Amageddon 2419 A.D. (1928) and The Airlords of Han (1929). Great books and not what most people think of when they think Buck Rogers, This, both the books and comic strips, are two (or one) of my favorite pulpy science fiction settings. Unfortunately, although I've written a bunch of Hero material around it, I've never gotten a group of gamers to play in it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kharis2000 Posted June 24, 2015 Report Share Posted June 24, 2015 If you're interested in additional source material, try GURPS Lensmen (2nd edition if you can find it, since they added additional material to it) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kharis2000 Posted June 25, 2015 Report Share Posted June 25, 2015 I was saddened to find that there was not an electronic version for sale at Warehouse 23, but such is life with licensed products. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kharis2000 Posted July 9, 2015 Report Share Posted July 9, 2015 Do you have the Rocketship Empires 1936 books John? They're no longer available for sale on DriveThru, but there were at least four items (all I have, anyway): Rocketship Empires Core Setting, Setting Book In Fury Triumphant, Ship Focus book The Gunslinger Betty, and Starship Compendium 1.

I've got the core book, but none of the others. This actually came up in a random convention discussion this weekend - and none of us were able to remember the name of it. Just about drove us nuts until someone not part of the discussion threw the name at us. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vondy Posted August 1, 2015 Report Share Posted August 1, 2015 Oddball idea: what about a post apocalyptic Earth? The heroes could be from an advanced city state, but most of the planet could be overrun with radiation devolved mutants, monsters, resurrected dinosaurs, savage tribes, lost and sunken cities, a patchwork of radiation badlands and resurgent super-flora, and the like. You could have sky-ships, a rival city run by a Ming the Merciless type, and ray guns. Think Flash Gordon meets an amalgam of pulp tropes. And, you don't even need rocket ships. Unless you want them, of course. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

st barbara Posted January 19, 2016 Report Share Posted January 19, 2016 "Rocket Age " (already mentioned) is fun. I have, from time to time, both run and played in a campaign. The campaign features Leigh Brackett as an NPC (an adventurous journalist on Mars who has decided that the P C's "make good copy"). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
