Inside you’ll find a complete set of rules for racing along the starways and thumping the denizens of the Star Bastards universe: all you need to provide is a couple of dice and your two rock-hard fists!

This Two-Fisted gamebook is a full-scale gamebook adventure of the kind you might remember from the eighties and early nineties. For those of you who are unfamiliar with gamebooks, it's a solo roleplaying game with character and inventory management where the book itself acts as the games master. Star Bastards is 400 paragraphs and 100,000 words packed full of adventure, interesting characters and action-filled alien locations. It's two complete adventures in one, with a large selection of co-pilots and items to ensure replayability. Inside you’ll find 32 full-page illustrations, a bunch of smaller graphics and 20 or so pages of rules and fluff.

Herman S. Skull was once a semi-beloved author of the Two-Fisted Fantasy adventure gamebooks during the height of the craze in the eighties. A series of industrial mishaps and poor sales drove him into obscurity where he has remained for decades. He now occupies his time hoarding things in his dingy house and writing hateful screeds to the editor.

Sam Iacob is an illustrator and long-time fan and collector of Skull's work. He has worked tirelessly to update the Two-Fisted Fantasy titles for a modern audience, removing most of the extraneous rules and the immersion-breaking lectures Skull used to scatter throughout the books. He also illustrates the new series with artwork based on the badly damaged drawings of the original series.
