I'll be running Omega 99 at next weekend's TravellerCon/USA. I decided to update my Omega 99 character sheets a bit from the previous versions. The only real change is that I've updated the wound tracker section, so that it cleanly displays only the check boxes needed to keep track of injuries. All of the old … Continue reading Omega 99: Final Character Sheet

Mongoose no longer has the license to Judge Dredd, but paper copies of the book can still be found. I don't believe there's … Continue reading Judge Dredd for Traveller: A custom fillable character sheet
I recently ran a one shot of Strontium Dog, the sci-fi bounty hunter game from Mongoose Games. It's based on the old 2000AD comic series. It's the older version that uses the Traveller ruleset, not the current WOIN version. For the game, I made five pre-generated characters. They're slightly modified versions of the ones in … Continue reading Strontium Dog: Pre-generated characters for Traveller

Here’s my list of Sword of … Continue reading Dark Sun for Sword of Cepheus: Part X – Earth Spells for Elemental Clerics
