Book excerpt: Mindjammer is a sourcebook for the Starblazer Adventures game set in the strange and distant future of our own planet Earth. It is a cool yet believable science-fiction setting of lost worlds, incredible technologies, and clashing civilizations, drawing upon the far future transhuman space stories by writers like Cordwainer Smith, Iain M. Banks, Dan Simmons, and Peter F. Hamilton. The Mindjammer setting introduces the New Commonality, the nascent interstellar state attempting to dominate the Rediscovery Era, a time when ultra-advanced technologies rub shoulders with lost and regressed worlds. Mindjammer contains exotic races and new careers, sentient starship characters, far future technologies including the interstellar 'Mindscape' and technological psionics, new skills and stunts, new starships, rules for interstellar cultures and cultural conflict, starmaps, worlds and a detailed background of a huge Star Empire and its allies and foes. There's also a complete campaign of four linked scenarios, 'The Black Zone', including spectacular Starblazer action with combat walkers, mass battles, and terrifying alien technologies!
