I finally got to run a one-shot of Cepheus Atom, Stellagama Games' post-apocalypse version of the Cepheus Engine. It's a fun, light little system designed to run Gamma World-style games using Traveller-style rules. Cepheus Atom doesn't have a built in setting, so I threw together the Shabby Lands, a small hexcrawl. I'm thinking of cleaning … Continue reading Cepheus Atom – Pregen Characters
Stellagama Publishing recently released Cepheus Atom, a sci-fi RPG set in a gonzo, Gamma World-style post apocalypse world. It's a stripped down version of the Cepheus Engine/Traveller rules. Most of the Cepheus stats are gone, and the character generation is a simple point buy instead of the normal career system. It looks like a excellent … Continue reading Cepheus Atom: Fillable Character Sheet for new post-apocalyptic RPG
I've been enjoying the first issue of the Cepheus Journal, a fanzine for the Cepheus Engine RPG. They've just put out their first issue. Looking forward to whatever they do next. It can be downloaded here: https://cepheusjournal.com/downloads/
The Artifact A scenario for Omega 99, the Cepheus Engine/Traveller setting based on Space 1999. Two days ago, an Omega science expedition returned from the system Klein-805, led by the scientist Professor Winfield Goddard. He and his team spent weeks exploring the ruins of an alien civilization, and returned with an artifact for further analysis. … Continue reading The Artifact – a scenario for Omega 99
For my upcoming Omega 99 (Space 1999 with Traveller rules) games, I've made some pregenerated character PDFs based on the characters from the TV show. The sheets use the custom Omega 99 character sheet I've posted previously. And before anyone asks, I don't yet have stats for Maya. I took a lot of the background … Continue reading Omega 99 – Pregenerated Characters
This is an update to a previous post, where I posted a character sheet for Omega 99, the Cepheus/Traveller setting based on Space 1999. I've noticed a small error in the calculations, when it's creating the UPP that appears on the character sheet and the table tent. Here is the revised version: Omega99_CharSheet_TableTent_Revised
I've recently been running adventures in my Dispute setting for Sword of Cepheus. I rolled up a few pregenerated characters for the game. I'm posting them here, for anyone who might find some use for them. Arjus, Sultanzade of the House Vermillion - Humbled noble seeking glory and status. Hanim - Vagabond and teller of … Continue reading Sword of Cepheus – Pregen Characters for the Dispute
Here's another addition to the collection of Omega 99 stuff I've been putting together. It's a new attack craft for Moonbase Omega - based on the Hawk craft that appeared in the original Space 1999 series. (Note: I did cheat a little when adding the extra turret to a 50-ton craft, but I wanted to … Continue reading Omega 99 – Raptor Attack Craft
I'm continuing to prepare material for a game of Omega 99, the Cepheus Engine setting based on Space 1999. I've previously created a character sheet, and a Peregrine spacecraft handout. Now I'm working on the actual equipment the crew of Moonbase Omega will be issued. I've made a player handout for two of most important … Continue reading Omega 99 – More Player Handouts – Stun Guns & Commlocks
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
