Blaster Bolts: Science Fiction Anthology
 |
This is an anthology of the science fiction short stories that appeared in the Blaster Bolts zine.
What is Blaster Bolts?
Blaster Bolts is a zine with short science fiction (with a western or military vibe)¸ fun art and new adventures and rules content for the White Star Roleplaying Game (including a lot of new content from system creator James Michael Spahn.)
With the help of some talented artists¸ fiction authors and gaming writers - we released 13 complete issues of Blaster Bolts this year.
But¸ why?
We wanted to create a magazine that was both fun to read and to look at and that was reminiscent of well-loved fan magazines of the early 80s
Who wrote the stories?
We got very¸ very lucky. We had established legends in the field such as Michael Jan Friedman¸ Robert Greenberger and Terry Mixon contribute stories for Blaster Bolts. In addition¸ there was an impressive bunch of talented writers including Mel Todd¸ Walt Robillard¸ Kendra Leigh Speedling and JR Handley as well as a handful of inspiring newcomers.
