Grit & Vigor - High Frontier
Whatever happened to that beautiful future of jet packs and moon bases? Of electric highways and push-button cooking? That future of crew-cut engineers and rugged astronauts that seemed so certain circa 1949?
You hold it in your hands!
GRIT & VIGOR - High Frontier is a supplement for the GRIT & VIGOR RPG system that imagines what life would be like in a future with permanent bases on the moon¸ a functioning orbiting space colony and a Cold War space race to Mars.
In the High Frontier future¸ the time from invention to production is a small one¸ putting mobile phones into peoples' hands by 1957¸ robot vacuum cleaners by 1965¸ digital music players by the late 70's and space colony Atlantis by 1998. If you can dream it¸ you can do it in the High Frontier¸ with all manner of concept cars and prototype planes making it into production.
This slim volume contains a blueprint for the retro-future¸ thoughts on what life looks like in that future on Earth¸ in orbit¸ on the Moon and beyond¸ with rules for space launches and adventuring in zero-gravity¸ stats for numerous imagined and prototype vehicles¸ ideas for adventures and even stats for aliens drawn from UFOlogy!
Blast off into the retro-future with GRIT & VIGOR - High Frontier!
