War Rocket playtester Andrew Walters will be running demo games of this fast and fun ruleset at DunDraCon in San Ramon, California. The demo games start at 6PM on Sunday, February 15th, 2009, and will feature two tables of Pulp action! Play the heroic Galacteers as they try to defend their warning satellites from the raiding Zenethian saucers.
