Default "Fire Up The Atomic Electro-Magneto-Proton . . . Thingie!"

GURPS Tales of the Solar Patrol is your 52-page ticket back to a time when science fiction was heavy on the fiction and a little light on science. In fact, let's just chuck science right out the darn window. Now my bubble helmet will protect me from harmful solar radiation. I can travel through space at incredible speeds without suffering any relativistic time dilation. And my rocket? Why yes, it is perfectly capable of VTOL.

Take that, Newton!

(reads blurb)..."Humans and dinosaurs go together like gamers and pizza."

Hmmm...That reads out of order to me. I'd've worded it as "Humans and dinosaurs go together like pizza and gamers." Gamers eat pizza; dinos eat the anachronistic humans... >;)

Yeah but sometimes the humans eat dinos - warm - while the cold pizza - and non-warm blooded but still fast mowing pulp dinos sometimes eat uncooked gamers and humans.

I've been working on a somewhat realistic 50s scifi setting for quite some time (tentatively titled GURPS the Day After the Earth Stood Still). Trying to combine the gee-whiz of classic scifi with the more modern sensibilities of current scifi.

This pdf may have just the right amount of somewhat that I need...

Opens wallet...

I was thinking of getting to do a Skylark of Space EE Doc Smith type game. I seem to recall copper being used as fuel in that universe.
