Building a Galaxy 11 – The excessively healthy world of New Syroe 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 …

Added a new world to my #Traveller campaign - New Syroe, where the desire for healthy lifestyles has gotten a little out of control.

#TTRPG

pitched some friends on a game of Traveller so I spent a whole weekend rolling up this entire sector using the Mongoose 2e rules

4 white carboard gift boxes. Each has a label - "OSR", "Mothership", "Science Fantasy", "Other RPGs"

Organizing my #TTRPG zines. I've had the 9.5x6x3'' gift boxes for a while, but I've added some nice labels.

Booklet stapler and some completed zines.

If, like me, you're constantly downloading and printing out #TTRPG booklets and zines, I'd recommend getting a booklet stapler. This one's a Bostitch B440SB, but I'm sure there are others.

It's saved me so much time and effort.

Two Call of Cthulhu adventures - The Lights of Madness and The Eye of Sitar, both on thick brown paper.

Burrowing through some boxes of my old gaming stuff, I found these 1980s Call of Cthulhu adventures that I apparently took out of issues of Different Worlds magazine.

I may try running them, though maybe not with CoC. I'm thinking possibly The Cthulhu Hack or Trail of Cthulhu.

4 RPG Books: The Terror Beneath Albedo Substratrum Protocol Managing the Expendables

Stopped at the two best NYC #TTRPG stores - the Compleat Strategist and the 20 Sided Store and picked up a few books:

I've updated my adventure for Cepheus Engine / Traveller. It now has a EPUB version.

It's a somewhat silly action scenario where the players have to save a planet's only source of oxygen.

Someone's made an online note generator for #TTRPG & #ARG use. It lets you make a fake console you can send to players.

The Console note style lets you create a CRT console that'd work well for #Mothership #AliensRPG or #Hostile

Blank foamcore screens

I took a foam core presentation board from Walmart, sliced it up, and made a #BasicFantasy GM screen.

I'll use the other two for some other games.

Three foldable pieces of foamcore. 12" x 6" with two 6" x 6" wings.

Picked up a cheap 18" x 24" foldable foamcore presentation board.

Sliced it up into three pieces to make #TTRPG GM screens.

Now I just have to decide what games I'll use them for...
