Teenagers From Outer Space
by Mike PondsmithSo How Does a Six-Armed Green-Skinned Guy from Arcturus Get a Date on a Saturday Night? Yo, dude! Aliens from Beyond the Stars have invaded our planet! They're enrolling their kids in our schools, shopping in our shopping malls, and hanging out in our fast food joints! High school is never going to be the same again. Six-armed green-skinned guys from Arcturus are gonna date your kid sister! Silicon-based lifeforms are gonna poke their school lunch and wonder what it's supposed to be! On second thought, maybe high school won't be so different after all. What Is This Thing? Teenagers from Outer Space is a roleplaying game set on an Earth where fun-loving space aliens go to our high schools and party with the Earth kids. In the game you play the part of a teenager-alien or human-and have adventures fighting mutant monstrosities, saving the world from ravening rabbits from the X dimension, and getting your homework in on time. You're not a gamer? No sweat, dude. Teenagers is a giggle. You'll have fun reading it, even if you never play. (Honest. Hey, trust us on this one, okay?) And if you decide to play, it'll be a snap. Unlike other roleplaying games, Teenagers doesn't have encyclopedia-long rules that you have to study like a textbook before you can play. You can learn to play this thing in minutes. Seconds, even. . . . Well, okay, maybe not seconds. And if you are a gamer-hey, butchering orcs is swell for a while, but isn't it time for a change of pace? Dragons are dangerous and dungeons are deadly, but there's nothing quite as awesome, quite as fearful, quite as horrifying as an order to report to...the principal's office!
