At Travellercon/USA 2021 I got to play in a great session of Traveller: 1700. This is a free setting for Classic Traveller created by Greg Caires, originally published in the Freelance Traveller fanzine. It's available for download over at the Freelance Traveller site. Though designed for Classic Traveller, it's easily compatible with more modern versions, and … Continue reading Traveller: 1700 – A custom character sheet and some recommended Colonial American RPG books

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

I just ran a one-shot of In the Light of a Ghost Star, the rules-light science fantasy RPG from the Highland Paranormal Society. The setting is the long-abandoned Earth in the far future, after the Sun has diminished into a white dwarf star.

Golgotha Mini-Review & Character Sheet

September 17, 2021 ~ ng76 ~ Leave a comment

I just ran a quick one-shot of Golgotha, the sci-fi tomb raiding RPG by Greg Saunders. It's a fascinating little setting. I've made a fillable character sheet for it. The Game Players are teams of Scavengers who travel beyond Human Space to seek out the Golgotha - mysterious alien ruins from long-dead civilizations. There, they … Continue reading Golgotha Mini-Review & Character Sheet

Judge Dredd for Traveller: A custom fillable character sheet

July 28, 2021July 28, 2021 ~ ng76 ~ Leave a comment

I'm a fan of the Mongoose adaption of Judge Dredd, the long-running British sci-fi comic. They put out two versions, a D20 version, and the version I prefer - the Traveller version. 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

Mugshots of the 1920s – Photos for CoC or Pulp games

June 29, 2021 ~ ng76 ~ 1 Comment

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

Chaosium recently re-released Beyond the Mountains of Madness, their adventure for the 6th edition of Call of Cthulhu. They also released a player handout and character sheet pack over on their itch site. (I just learned today that Chaosium has a itch.io site).

Knights of the Road: 1920s Hobos battling monsters – review and custom character sheet

June 25, 2021 ~ ng76 ~ Leave a comment

I recently received my Kickstarter copy of Knights of the Road, the OSR fantasy RPG from Bordercholly. It's a hack of the Into the Odd / Bastionland system. I haven't run it yet, but it's a cleanly written, fun little system. It's set in the Western States - a thinly disguised fantasy version of the … Continue reading Knights of the Road: 1920s Hobos battling monsters – review and custom character sheet
