I've been playing around with creating my own version of a character sheet for the Cepheus Engine, the open source version of Traveller. It's based on my old Hostile character sheet. It uses a nice clean Eurostile font that I hope gives it a futuristic feel. There's a wound tracker that will automatically provide boxes … Continue reading Cepheus Engine: Fillable Character Sheet – BETA VERSION
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
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
Midnight Boulevard is a RPG by Michael Brown set in the world of film noir movies. It uses the Traveller/Cepheus Engine/2D6 rules system. To reflect the darkness of the noir source material, it adds the concept of scars - a randomly rolled source of turmoil in the character's life. The book doesn't have a character … Continue reading Midnight Boulevard – Film Noir with Traveller Rules – Character Sheet
Last year, Zozer Games put out Kosmos 68, a free setting for Traveller/Cepheus Engine games based on old Soviet science fiction movies. It set in a future where the the USSR still exists and has a interplanetary empire.
