Re: (TFT) Ty's New TFT Campaign -- Swords 'n Space

From: "Ty Beard" <tbeard@tyler.net>

After a hiatus of nearly 2 years, I'm running a new TFT
campaign. Several old players have moved back here and the time
seems right.

This will be a "swords-n-space" campaign ala Edgar Rice
Burroughs. I'm using large parts of my TFT Traveller supplement,
with a new list of weapons and armor. And a new combat system
for guns. Details are at
http://www.reese.org/tft/swords-n-space.htm .

The goal is to preserve the coolest part of TFT -- the combat
system IMHO -- yet tackle a fresh(er) genre.

Wish me luck. If anyone wants to design some SciFi uglies, I can
use the help.

Wow, Ty. The page looks great. The flavor of traveler, with some great TFT style house rules, and was that a little Aftermath sprinkled in there? I hope it does really well.

A space port bar called "the belly ache" where some of the best of the old west style brawls have erupted. And not always over the food. It just full of old veterans of some previous war where everyone got addicted to Accelerin. Apparently the easiest way to get the stuff was from carousing. So they started putting more points into carousing. Now the medical miracle of modern medicine gives us the strong elderly. And a bunch of old western movie watchers they are. Love to jump up and start smashing furniture over each other. At a table in the back next to the twelve hex thick transparent half dome is a particularly ornery bunch of old codgers who act as instigators and try get some newcomer to say something wrong, so as to give someone else a chance to get offended. Then they stand up slowly as everyone in the bar gets quiet. In a slow intentionally dull frontier drawl they say, "I take offence with that."

The ?Screaming Buddhists? an anti-terrorist religion. Only psionics seem to have the right kinds of visions that are required to get in. Like most Buddhist they believe that ?existence is suffering.?
Masters of this faction can convert damage directly into experience points healing themselves at the same time (up to 2D6 points once per day) and everything below Initiates convert damage directly into experience points healing themselves at the same time (up to 1D6 points three per day) 
    Novices get experience points for damage taken (three times a day).
These guys are found hanging out in space ports near the customs, baggage check, or front doors. The just ask for donations. Sometimes they give away books. If there are any terrorist trying to come into the space port, the ?Screaming Buddhists? may be able to detect it. Better yet they may get the chance to get injured trying to stop them.

?The Rabid Puppies? A street gang, of young punks about 6-8 in age. They travel in packs and roll people who walk from the space port and don?t at least pay for a cab. The all have running, and they do wave HTH attempts. Someone of people standing adjacent with a flap jack or a stun hypo, will knock them out. PCs should wake up injured, robbed, and naked. At least, let us hope so. Each child is the son of a wealthy local buisness man, all of whom attend the same social club. If any child is harmed the lawyers and arrests will come as soon as even one of them can get word out. The players will find themselves in a deep hole they dug special underneath the jail. An old man with wild hair sitting in the cell says ?I managed to kill one of em. You shoulda taken a cab.? Of course the children are just acting like their parents, who really are some sort of secret kabala with a secret ancient artifact and conections to piracy, and the fencing of pirated goods. But they are slick James Bond, high end bad guys. If one tries to go directly against them they hire out a seductress to lose your body in the mountains somewhere.
