Bulldogs!
Bulldogs! is sci-fi that kicks ass!
Who could be desperate enough to sign his life away for five long years? Desperate enough to take a job hauling volatile and hazardous cargo to the most dangerous places in the galaxy? Planets where the very air is a corrosive acid. Planets where the locals might cut your throat just so they can turn you into a nice steak. Planets where petty thugs and warlords are engaged in constant running gun battles and you’re just as likely to catch a blaster shot in the skull as get a signed delivery manifest.
You are, that’s who. Welcome to Bulldogs!
Bulldogs! is a high action space adventure. Bulldogs! is about freebooting ruffians flying from planet to planet causing trouble. Bulldogs! is about far future technology—sci-fi movie technology that probably wouldn’t work given what we know about the universe today, but who cares? Bulldogs! is about blasters and faster-than-light travel. Bulldogs! is about hopping from planet to planet and running into a vast variety of weird aliens. Bulldogs! is about being shot at and pissing off powerful locals only to flee just in time. Bulldogs! is about starship dogfights and ambushes by space pirates in rarely traveled star lanes.
Bulldogs! d20 Edition is now out of print. The 2011 edition of Bulldogs! uses the FATE system, a Fudge variant developed by Evil Hat Productions. Bulldogs! FATE Edition is currently for sale.

[...] Bulldogs! Is coming out at GenCon this August. What is Bulldogs!, you ask? I’ve heard it referred to as Han Solo: the RPG. And Han Solo, as we know, is all about freedom, individuality, entrepreneurship, being the scrappy underdog, and all the rest of the things that make America great. So really, if you don’t like Han Solo, you’re saying that you don’t like America, you Commie fascist. So, if you love America, you’ll go to GenCon and buy Bulldogs!, or you’ll wait until after GenCon and you’ll pick it up at the store, like a good American patriot. [...]
