Cosmic Patrol Takes Off This November

Oct 21, 2011

If you’re a fan of pulp science fiction (or the old EC SF comic books) you’ll want to take a look at the upcoming release, Cosmic Patrol, from Catalyst Game Labs. This retro style game promises all the fun and flight of fantasy of those thrilling tales of the future! Um… from yesteryear.

From Catalyst:

Cosmic Patrol is a roleplaying game set in a retro future based on the Golden Age of science fiction. If you’ve ever seen a cover from a classic 1930s-1960s sci-fi pulp magazine, you’ve got the idea. You and your friends form the crew of a Cosmic Patrol rocketship and blast off for action and adventure in the wild galaxy.

In Cosmic Patrol, players take the role of Patrolmen—the first and last line of defense for humans in a dangerous galaxy. Patrolmen explore, discover and defend the interests of humans wherever they go. With an atomic ray gun at their hip, they brave the unknown on a regular basis.

Cosmic Patrol is all about creating a story. Using Cues as building blocks, you will construct a plot and narrate your Patrolman’s way through the millions of threats the cosmos has to offer. Your adventure will be unique to you and your group, and you’re encouraged to write those adventures up in true pulp style, for all the world to enjoy.
