TSR 3562
TSR was the grand-daddy of Role Playing Game companies. Best known for Dungeons & Dragons, TSR actually developed many other games (some fine, others less than great), but none ever approached the popularity of D&D.
Interestingly, TSR had much trouble coming up with a science fiction RPG, and wanted badly to emulate the success of the Traveller RPG at rival company GDW. In 1990, they secured the license to the Buck Rogers franchise, and developed a game around it. The game never received a huge audience, but it wasn't for a lack of trying. In addition to game supplements, they published Buck Rogers novels, comics, and even a board game.
It's more Science Fantasy (like Star Wars) than Sci-Fi to my taste, but I sure admire the love and effort put into the game system. The tone is surprisingly dark for a TSR game of the time, and is closely compatible with TSR's AD&D 2nd Edition rules.

Much to my chagrin, this product is not the boxed set of the whole setting, but rather an individual modular adventure. It just shares the name, sadly. However, anyone familiar with the Buck Rogers XXVC material (which I seem to be the only person on the internet who knows of its existance..) knows that the modules are well crafted and HUGE, with lots of material. The quality is shocking after so many years, though there was a hole in the original shrinkwrap. It looks new though. -- By Anonymous from Indiana on May 03, 2008 |
