StarCadets RPG -- the original version
StarCadets! My first all on one page (and one side!) Role Playing Game!
I wrote this waay back in 1998. It took me about two months, off and on, to write it -- it was crazy fun! At the time there wasn't that many "micro" RPGs out there. When I saw some, I thought -- I can do that! And here it is.
When I planned it, I decided it needed a gimmick -- I made the title longer than the rules! If you count the lines, the title block is one line longer than the rules block. LOL.
Game-wise, it is a science fiction role playing game. The first place I uploaded it, claimed it was an outline....(lol, this page was all there was!) Or that it is a parody of Traveller...(No it isn't, but there was a copy of the Traveller book handy when I wrote this...)
So here it is...as it originally appeared...enjoy!
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
This game is Free! Really! Give copies to your friends! (Written: Apr-17-1998)
Printing Instructions: If using DOS, just send it to the printer. Otherwise
use no margins, and a proportional font (all characters are the same size).
