How many people get their start with a game like this? This brings me to the previously stated thought. However, this strikes me as odd seeing that FATE often reads more complicated than it actually is. SBA has a large section devoted to new players, it explains the basic premise of the game, the genre, the hobby, and more introductions probably better than any game I have read. I never have gotten to actually play so some of my thoughts, impressions, or statements may be way off, or just plain wrong. I am not intimately familiar with FATE like many RPGnetters are, but I do own Spirit of the Century, and I have worked on my own hack to play Exalted with it. So instead I am going to talk about what I noticed on an initial read through. Trying to describe everything would make a huge review, and I am afraid many would be bored by that. SBA is such a large book with 34 chapters and some appendices. Normally in my reviews I do it in a chapter breakdown style. The art looks old and is not remarkable by today’s US comics, but it does convey the pulp style science fiction well, which is what I assume Starblazer is. Several of the pages are taken up by, what I assume is, strips from the Starblazer comic. The inside of the book is all black and white. The cover is a nice piece that shows a large ship in the foreground and an Earth-like planet in the background. This book is thick reminding me of books like Pathfinder’s core, HERO 5th edition, and The World’s Largest Dungeon. Starblazer Adventures (from here on known as SBA) is a huge 632 paged hardcover. Although Starblazer Adventures has a canon setting, the book seems to be written so that it can be used to run any form of science fiction with FATE. FATE is an award winning rpg system and is known well through the RPGnet community.

Each issue is an entire story and often with completely different characters as the previous issue. Starblazer is a long running British pulp science fiction comic.
