I'm continuing to play around with the Traveller/Cepheus Engine setting Omega 99. This is the one-sheet setting Michael Brown put out that is clearly inspired by the old 70s' TV show Space 1999. I made a character sheet for Omega 99 in a previous post. I've designed, as accurately as I could, the Peregrine transports … Continue reading Omega 99 – Peregrine Transport Spacecraft – Traveller/Cepheus Engine
I've been throwing together new character sheets all weekend, and thought I'd add one more: The Noir Hack is Michael Brown's version of the Black Hack, designed to replicate old noir novels and movies. It's main innovation is the Darkness usage die, used to track the characters trauma and dark past. I've made a fillable … Continue reading Noir Hack – Character Sheets for a film noir version of the Black Hack

Here are some great free Unicode fonts that might be useful for GMs or game designers who needed some ancient-looking symbols. They are based on actual ancient scripts including Ancient Egyptian, Akkadian, Mayan and many others. Unicode Fonts for Ancient Scripts I used the Egyptian font for my Valley of the Pharoahs character sheet.
The Valley of the Pharoahs was a 1983 RPG boxed set from Palladium Books. It was a historical game, set in ancient Egypt. It's currently available on PDF over at DriveThru. Honestly, it's not very well organized. Important details about running the game are either hard to find, or even missing. Another problem is that … Continue reading Valley of the Pharoahs – Character Sheet for yet another dead RPG
In 1983 Avalon Hill put out Lords of Creation, a short-lived RPG of inter-dimensional adventure. It was a multi-genre system, where players would travel between worlds of fantasy, sci-fi, and all sorts of other weirdness. It was a boxed set that included the main rule book and a monster manual called the Book of Foes … Continue reading Lords of Creation – Character Sheets for a long-dead RPG
