Omega 99: Final Character Sheet

October 3, 2021October 4, 2021 ~ ng76 ~ Leave a comment

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

Here's a good resource for running a RPG in the 1920s. It's a collection of mug shots from 1920s Sydney. They'd make great portraits for players & PCs for Call of Cthulhu, pulp games, or any 1920s based game. Apparently, the New South Wales PD had a really great photographer back in the day. The … Continue reading Mugshots of the 1920s – Photos for CoC or Pulp games
