👽 Buckaroo Banzai for Savage Worlds

It's been 39 years since we were first blessed with the presence of The Adventures of Buckaroo Banazi Across the 8th Dimension.   A regular staple of the my Saturday afternoon HBO watching, I must admit I wasn't the fervent cult fanboy as many of my friends are.  

Statting out Buckaroo (from the movie) has been a long-term plan of mine, delayed in part of finding it on a streaming service AND getting time to watch and stat everything out.  So here's a first, full attempt at Buckaroo using the Explorer's Edition of Savage Worlds.
