Contents

Rockerboy is a supplement that takes the form of a fictional lifestyle magazine.[1] The contents include rules for backgrounds of Rockerboy characters, and appropriate equipment. Several miniscenarios are also included.[2]

Publication history

Rockerboy was written by Colin Fisk, Will Moss, Scott Ruggels, David Ackerman, Glenn Wildermuth, Sam Shirley, and Mike Pondsmith, with a cover by Doug Anderson, and was published by R. Talsorian Games in 1989 as an 80-page book.[2]

Reception

In the June 1990 edition of Games International, the reviewer thought the presentation "lacks the slick colour production of FASA's Shadowrun supplements" but admired this product for its "accurately appalling Rolling Stone style interviews, reviews and adverts."[1]
