In 2073, the alien Starchildren arrived on Earth, following lifetimes of rocking among the stars. Expecting to find a musical utopia here on Rock's home planet, they instead land upon a quiet, fearful world, where music has become a controlled substance and free speech is a thing of the past. Undaunted, the Starch8ldren secretly walk among the Resistance, sowing the seeds of the rebellion to come. Starchildren: Velvet Generation provides a breakneck Rock & Roll setting and a fast, innovative card-based system. With full rules for live performances, strange alien abilities, and the occasional ballroom blitz, this lavishly illustrated hardcover contains everything players need to save the world - one rock concert at a time.
