Grab your raygun, strap in, and blaze your smoking, likely radioactive, trail through the Solar System!
Blast off into a retro-futuristic, pulp sci-fi cosmos bursting with rayguns, rocketships, robots, and ... did we mention rayguns?
Based on the comics, art, and universe invented by Wētā Workshop’s Greg Broadmore, this is a unique and comprehensive guide to creating outlandish, interplanetary adventures compatible with the fifth and fifth-and-a-half editions of some game with dragons and other silly, scientifically unfounded elements.
Packed with more than 400 illustrations by Broadmore and Wētā Workshop artists, this technological tome features:
- All 10 5E character classes ... but scientized! Plus 5 (known) Species and 20 new Backgrounds to choose from.
- 125 rayguns, gadgets, gizmos, armour, and adventuring gear.
- 26 vehicles — from tanks and rockets to walkers and airships — plus rules for air-to-air, space-to-space, and orbit-to-ground combat.
- 61 creatures, 26 NPCs, and several factions vying for power.
- 8 bizarre and powerful technology types, each with their own unique malfunctions table.
- 4 worlds to explore, each with its own atmospheric conditions, secrets, and plot hooks — plus guidance on creating adventures in the great beyond!

Functional, yet flavourful, custom designed digital Character Sheets by Hans Kleinenberg
“A dazzling ‘Uchronism’ that works both as a satire of our times and as a convex mirror for a future that never was. A violent, vibrant Neverland, witty and brilliantly realized.”
- Guillermo del Toro on Dr. Grordbort Presents Victory
“Dr. Grordbort’s Scientific Adventure Violence is a rallying call to all interplanetary explorers, galactic outlaws, lantern-jawed heroes and citizens of the galaxy — the adventure begins here!”
- Levi Combs of Planet X Games
