Re: December 26, 2017: The Fantasy Trip Returns Home
But it's so easy to do, with a great basis like TFT! A few new weapons, a few different talents... Describe the local village as being arranged along a main street, with boardwalks and a few tumbleweeds blowing around as a brisk wind kicks up the dust in the street and tries to take the PC's hats off, and suddenly you're in the middle of a John Wayne western!
No? Okay, I guess you're right, darn it. ;-) Last edited by JLV; 01-07-2018 at 04:03 AM. |

Re: December 26, 2017: The Fantasy Trip Returns Home
Back in the late '70s my expectations were that I'd someday see... The Space Trip: In the Starship...? Forty years later I'd love to see it (and more importantly, fork over my hard earned cash!) as part of the reboot.
The nuts and bolts of this are I expect to see TFT as a Kickstarter. I'm VERY picking about Kickstarters, but if this KS were to include reprints of the original Micros, along with a hardback or boxed set of TFT, and with stretch goals of: dungeon tiles, outdoor tiles, MicroQuest map tiles, heavy cardstock counters or stand-ups, a bestiary, Tollenkar's Lair, a Cidri campaign book, a Space Trip rulebook, and a Western rulebook, I'd be in for $150 or $200.

Indeed, Advanced Melee explicitly endorses other genres by including baseball bats, switchblades and bicycle chains in its weapon equivalents list. So I respectfully dissent. I think TFT can easily handle other genres and have had considerable fun doing exactly that. There’s a lot to be said for a game that allows you to create a character in a couple of minutes, contains plenty of detail and that has an engaging, simple and fast moving combat system. Those qualities are useful for any genre...except maybe sparkly, angst-ridden vampire genres (excuse me, “vampyre genres”). |

I was looking to see when the list started, and I found that I'd lost the very first month's worth of posts in a server move, but have recovered most of them from archive.org and have found the first digests in a backup, so I can recreate them. We might be getting old, but we're still gaming! |
