"Travel the galaxy, meet fascinating new lifeforms, and kill them."

Interesting-looking RPG (https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/howardtayler/the-planet-mercenary-role-playing-game) based on the webcomic Schlock Mercenary (https://www.schlockmercenary.com/2010-11-29), which is my personal favorite (the quote in my sig is based off one of the mercenary maxims).

It's got Shurikannons. What more do you need to know?

If for some reason you do need to know more, it's using a new system called D63. Information about the mechanics is here (https://schlocktroops.com/game-play-primer/). The Ablative Meat Shield (https://schlocktroops.com/2015/04/16/taking-one-for-the-team-or-the-ablative-meat-shield-rule/) rule in particular looks cool.

Maxim 37 (https://schlockmercenary.wikia.com/wiki/The_Seventy_Maxims_of_Maximally_Effective_Mercenar ies): There is no "overkill." There is only "open fire" and "I need to reload."
