Welcome to the Rocketman blog. On this site are all the various games played thus far, with background information and various character and equipment stats. The site can be navigated by means of the menu bar and the various games can be found in the side bar. To return to this main page, simply click on the Home button.

Rocketman is a skirmish wargame campaign using a set of simple home made rules created by Oleg Zacharov, based on, and scaled up from the fantastic DBA rule system. These rules are not available on this site, but given the information I have posted, any one ought to be able to convert Rocketman using any combat or role playing rules which deal with the twentieth century.

Rocketman is set in the latter half of the 1930's, specifically from the year 1936. The games are inspired by a wide range of sources and idea's, primarily Bulldog Drummond, Indiana Jones and Rocketeer. Most of the settings are historical, or draw on historical events, but the games tend to avoid including actual people or events. Also, I have deliberately toned down the Nazi's, for a number of reasons. Partly because I want to avoid the whole 'Nazi secret weapon' cliché, but also because the Nazi's are absent from the Bulldog Drummond books which were my initial starting point.

This site is designed to be an online resource for the players, but any one who stumbles across the site and likes what they read is welcome to use it. Most everything written on the site is of my own design and creation and as far as possible I have avoided using copyrighted imagery (there may be one or two exceptions but if any one complains then I shall simply remove the offending image).

The blog will be updated as time goes by, but in such a manner that this page will always be foremost.
