Necro-Cavaliers of the Astral Galaxy reminded me of just how much fun John Harper's Lasers and Feelings is. So I made a hack. Like so many others have.
There's no new titular dichotomy for my hack, even though lasers aren't so much a part of the 30's era, Buck Rogers-style, planetary romances I wanted to emulate. Something like "Rockets & Romance" would have been entirely genre appropriate, but there's no improving on the geek poetry of declaring "I rolled LaserFeelings!"
Anyway, I hope you like it. Let me know if you play it!
LASERS & FEELINGS, RETROROCKET (pdf)
Rayguns & Romance? Whatever you call it, this is awesome. Thanks for the hack!
ReplyDeleteRayguns & Romance was in he running for awhile. It fits the genre really well. But rolling "Raygun-Romance" doesn't beat "Laser-Feelings!"
DeleteIt occurs to me just now that another option for old pulp emulation would be "Science," "Fiction" and "Scientifiction!"
I like the SF connection...! But you're right...I don't think there's much that's going to beat "Laser-Feelings!"
DeleteAdded to the list you linked to!
ReplyDeleteThanks! And thanks for maintaining that list!
DeleteDid you ever move your Maze Rats “An Exaltation of Rockets” Buck Rogers hack any further along?
ReplyDeleteI haven't. I still hope to, but, for now, this hack will have scratch my Buck Rogers itch.
DeleteGreat stuff!
ReplyDeleteThanks, Trey!
