Starfaring

From The Acaeum Wiki

Starfaring is an early science fiction RPG (Metamorphosis Alpha has a foreword dated July 15, 1976) and the first to feature space exploration. The artwork has a comic tone that is not present in the text, and author Ken St. Andre remarks in the introduction that "I had no idea that my artist would have such a bizarre imagination".

According to Rick Loomis, the 1st Printing was for 500 copies, and they sold quickly.[1] The 2nd Printing, also for 500 copies, was made after Traveller came out in 1977 and was in stock for years.
