The High Adventure Cliffhangers Buck Rogers Adventure Game was a tabletop role-playing game published by TSR in September 1993. After the lukewarm response to TSR's Buck Rogers Battle for the XXVth Century board game of 1988, the company tried again with a more conventional role-playing game based on Philip Francis Nowlan's 1928 novel Armageddon, 2419 A.D. and the comic strip continuity that followed, in which resurgent American tribes overthrow their Red Mongol conquerors. It was co-designed by Jeff Grubb and Steven Schend and returned to the pulp themes of the original strips, with biplanes and interracial warfare rather than the space combat of the earlier game. Its only supplement was the War Against the Han campaign box set of December 1993. White Wolf magazine rated the core game 4 out of 5, but it was neither widely advertised nor very popular and was soon discontinued.
