Starchildren - Velvet Generation
A sci-fi RPG set in 2073¸ in a future where the Ministries of Culture have repressed rock & roll and other possibly violent influences following a catastrophic world world. However¸ aliens (""Starchildren"") arrive in 2071¸ inspired by the radio transmissions of the prior century. The PCs are humans and starchildren who have gathered as underground rock & roll bands who oppose the ministries. It uses a system based on playing cards. The eight attributes and related skills each have a card rank and an associated suit. The player has a hand of five cards where only the suit played matters. Resolution test is made by comparing a random draw versus the attribute or skill¸ modified based on the suit of the card played from the player's hand. Character creation is limited point-based¸ with advantages and disadvantages. - A description from https://darkshire.net/jhkim/rpg/encyclopedia/ with kind permission of John H. Kim"
