Justifiers RPG

Justifiers RPG is a role-playing game published by StarChilde in 1988.

Description

Justifiers RPG is a science-fiction space-adventure system in which player characters select from 28 humanoid animal types, including bats, albatrosses, gila monsters, and rhinos.[1] The game features a skill-based system in which character class dictates what skills a character has.[1] Skill resolution is by the simple percentage-roll method; combat is likewise fairly streamlined.[1] There are rules for psionic powers, cybernetic implants, weapons, and spaceships.[1] The background is of a future history in which megacorporations own entire worlds and are exploring the galaxy to find more systems to exploit.[1] The "beta-humanoid" heroes work for the corporations.[1] The game includes an introductory scenario.[1]

Publication history

Justifiers RPG was designed by Gideon, with Blaine Pardoe, and published by StarChilde in 1988 as a 128-page book.[1]

Reception

Justifiers RPG was reviewed in Space Gamer/Fantasy Gamer No. 88.[2] The reviewer commented that "I think this is an excellent primer for beginning gamers. Its main focus is on small unit combat and inter-player conflict. This appears to be what most beginning gamers enjoy the most."[2]

Lawrence Schick commented that Justifiers "takes 'Pets in Space' to its farthest extreme", and that "If you can get by that, you'll find a solid skill-based system".[1]
