"Go to the sign of Marvel's Axe, a dubious inn on the edge of the Thieves Quarter, in the City of Greyhawk, and look to your own wrist. If you perceive a bracelet and dangling dice, watch for the next throw in the war between Law and Chaos and be prepared to follow the compelling geas." -Signal

Buck Rogers Boxed Set XXVc (1990)

From the web:

The XXVc Role-Playing Game describes the world of the 25th Century in vivid detail. Join the forces of the New Earth Organization and help Buck Rogers and his allies to fight the tyranny of the Martians; team up with the other members of your group to buy a spaceship and go into business yourselves, running blockades or carrying vital supplies and information; make a fortune (or lose one) by visiting the solar system's biggest casino in the Asteroid Belt.

All of these opportunities, and countless others, are open to players of the XXVc game. In the world of the 25th Century, the sky is NOT the limit - it's just the first small step on a long and exciting journey!

The game box includes everything a group of players needs to start and adventuring campaign :

Characters & Combat, a 96-pages book of rules.
The World Book, 64 pages of information about the places and people of the solar system.
The Technology Book, 32 pages of description about the equipment and weaponry of the 25th Century.
Four large full-color maps :
   • The bustling spaceport at Tycho, on the moon
   • Interior diagrams of two ship types, scaled for use with 25mm miniature figures
   • A graphic display of the inner solar system
   • An outer-space hex grid, for conducting ship-vs.-ship combat
A special see-through measuring device for moving ships between planets.
Twenty-four full color cards :
   • Thirteen different kinds of spaceships
   • Seven major non-player characters of the XXVc game universe, including Buck Rogers
   • Maps of Mars, Venus, Earth and Luna
A sheet of die-cut ship counters and markers.
