Join Maggott, Frugle, Uncle Evil [tm] and all of your other favorite walking offenses to God as they vomit raw verbal corruption all over you. In a good way. For those poor souls who don't know, the Maggott Show is a radio broadcast by the Byeard Maggott, Emperor of the Maggottonians and more or less supreme being. It is co-hosted by Frugle, who we will not acknowledge as having any importance. If you've ever laughed at a joke involving flagrantly sadistic violence aimed towards adorable innocent kittens, then this is the show for you. If, on the other hand, you're normal, then you might want to skip ahead to Star Thugs. |
Welcome
to a dangerously jaded galaxy filled with bold adventure and relentless
cynicism. You are a starship captain, hellbent on protecting the weak
and pitiful from the predators of space, or achieving galactic domination
in the name of the almighty GhazPORK, or maybe just virus-bombing a call
center for personal reasons. Opposing you in this glorious quest are delinquent
teenage pirates, insane robotic space-locusts, pompous authority figures,
and the ever-encroaching madness of living in modern society.
Why would anyone choose a life of combat, uncertainty and risk in a world filled with dangers rather than the sane, sensible life of a cubicle-dwelling surface yuppy? Because sanity is for the weak. Star Thugs is a slightly silly science fiction roleplaying game that takes place in our very own home universe...which, incidentally, is the same one the Maggott Show takes place in. Scary, isn't it? |
Differing not by race, creed or government, the survivors of the galaxy are split instead by circumstance and by how they choose to stay alive. Their abilities reflect no advanced technologies or innate powers, but rather what they are willing to do to ensure their continued existence. From the overwhelming military might of the Coreguard to the subtle machinations of the Order of Hantelle, each faction brings different resources and different powers to the table. The galaxy is a ghostly shadow, and entire sectors of space are controlled by tiny fleets of ships. Controlling the resources of these sectors can increase your military power, but beware--military strength cannot stop the bleeding of your spirit. A fleet of starships means nothing if you are dead. Dying Lights is a customizable but non-collectible strategy card game for up to 6 players. (That means you get to customize your deck but don't have to pay out the arse for it.) Gimme Dying Lights! |
