As I create worlds for my ongoing Traveller campaign set in the Foreven sector, I've been creating the details of new worlds just ahead of my players' explorations (my previous Foreven posts). I'm usually creating a world based on one of the following: Based on the randomly generated UWP of the planet Based on a … Continue reading Building a Galaxy 11 – The excessively healthy world of New Syroe
I've finished up my new adventure for Cepheus Engine. As I mentioned in a previous post, I'm planning on taking some of the more self-contained adventures I've created for my current Traveller campaign and releasing them as individual zines. It's called Dumb Guys & Big Oxy, and it's available for sale at DriveThru -https://www.drivethrurpg.com/en/product/552504/dumb-guys-big-oxy and … Continue reading Dumb Guys & Big Oxy
If you're running a long term campaign of any RPG, one of the most useful things you can make for yourself is a customized GM screen. Even if the game you're running already has one, it's still a good idea. When you're in the middle of session, the rules and information you find yourself actually … Continue reading A custom GM screen for Traveller
My Foreven Sector Traveller campaign (previous entries) is going well, and I'm still creating worlds just ahead of the player's voyages. They recently visited a planet called Nevron, which I didn't have much planned for, so I had to scramble a bit. I didn't have much to go on except for the randomly generated UWP, … Continue reading Building a Galaxy 9 – Nevron- The Sea Dogs
What’s #RPGaDAY2025 ? See the details here. Day 17 - Renew I'm going to make the movie Logan's Run into a RPG setting. What does this have to do with the prompt Renew? I'll get there eventually… What's Logan's Run? In 1976, MGM released Logan's Run, a science fiction film based on the novel of … Continue reading RPGaDAY2025 – Day 17 – Renew – Enter the Carousel
What’s #RPGaDAY2025 ? See the details here. Day 7 - Journey I could make this post about wilderness exploration, travel rules, or something like that. Instead, I'm going to go in a different direction. I'm going to make a campaign setting inspired by the album covers of the rock band Journey. It's a group I … Continue reading #RPGaDAY2025 – Day 7 – Journey. Yes, I do mean the band Journey
One of my absolute favorite RPG settings is Kosmos 68, a sci-fi setting by Paul Eliot for Classic Traveller based entirely on old Soviet sci-fi, mostly old Soviet movies (here's a YouTube playlist). It's published by Zozer Games. It's set in 2168, in an alternate history where the Soviet Union never fell, developed jump drive … Continue reading Kosmos 68 – A character sheet for the Soviet sci-fi setting
I've been running a Traveller campaign set in the Foreven sector for a little over a year now. I've generated the basic UWP data for all of the worlds (see this previous post), but other than a few special locations, I don't have a complete detailed picture of every world. As the campaign continues, I've … Continue reading Building a Galaxy 8 – The Sovereignty of Moutrouni
Over the years, I've made a bunch of adventures for various one-shots I've run. I thought I'd clean some of them up and publish them here for others to use. Very much inspired by the site 1Shot Adventures. This one is Apocalypse Squad, a military action scenario for the RPG Hostile by Zozer Games. Hostile … Continue reading Apocalypse Squad – a one-shot adventure for Hostile
Just picked up a free little indie game called Spice World by Aaron King. Despite the name, it's got nothing to do with the 1997 musical comedy (if you're interested in that, try this game instead) Spice World is a mash-up of the Traveller and Powered by the Apocalypse systems, set in Frank Herbert's Dune … Continue reading Spice World – a free, unlicensed Dune RPG
