About Retrostar

Excitement. Adventure. Disco. (Skin-tight jumpsuit not included)

Retrostar is a roleplaying game that faithfully emulates the science fiction TV shows of the 1970s. This is not simply a standard universal system that just happens to be adorned with era-specific artwork. Every aspect, nuance and trope of those wonderfully cheesy old shows is brought to life by the game system.

About the Full Rulebook

The full rulebook will be made available at DriveThru RPG on November 20th, 2015. It will contain all the game rules, character creation system, series creation guidelines, a ton of advice for players and Showrunners alike, numerous series to play, and comprehensive information about the 1970s-era sci-fi TV show genre. Plus, it will feature a foreword by Battlestar Galactica's Richard Hatch!

It certainly tells a lot about the era's TV and movies in great depth, yet has some curious omissions of the biggest series. And gives very little information about the game itself. But I now see that there is another preview for the game stuff. [...]

Scanned image
These products were created by scanning an original printed edition. Most older books are in scanned image format because original digital layout files never existed or were no longer available from the publisher.

For PDF download editions, each page has been run through Optical Character Recognition (OCR) software to attempt to decipher the printed text. The result of this OCR process is placed invisibly behind the picture of each scanned page, to allow for text searching. However, any text in a given book set on a graphical background or in handwritten fonts would most likely not be picked up by the OCR software, and is therefore not searchable. Also, a few larger books may be resampled to fit into the system, and may not have this searchable text background.

For printed books, we have performed high-resolution scans of an original hardcopy of the book. We essentially digitally re-master the book. Unfortunately, the resulting quality of these books is not as high. It's the problem of making a copy of a copy. The text is fine for reading, but illustration work starts to run dark, pixellating and/or losing shades of grey. Moiré patterns may develop in photos. We mark clearly which print titles come from scanned image books so that you can make an informed purchase decision about the quality of what you will receive.

Most newer books are in the original electronic format. Both download and print editions of such books should be high quality.
