Well it might be little longer than I thought but that's okay, I'm not going to make the font on this TTRPG so small it'll all fit in less than 25 pages

I want one page each for Evil Alien Type, Blue ones, Green ones, Red Ones, etc

Then a page of assorted alien beasties and lastly a page of Random Monster tables

This TTRPG should come in under 25 pages and cost as little as possible for people to pick up and play

I'm trying to keep each page to a singular purpose

One page for Character Creation

One page for gear

One page for Ships (it is a space #TTRPG)

One page for GM advice

One page for random encounter or location tables

One page for background

And one page each per baddy type

I'm shooting for a small, 24 to 30 page light TTRPG

Something with a feel somewhere between old Buck Rogers comics and Barbarella

With a bit of Duck Dodgers and Star Trek thrown in

Welcome to the TTRPG crowd over here. Still getting my feet wet myself, good luck 🤞

I've been pulling ideas from older RPGs, not OSR old but more 80s stuff

I honestly haven't kept up with much of 'modern gaming' as such so Into Adventure is going to be very much of an older era I think

Not sure if anything in the era would be what you have in mind

It seemed like the Cyberpunk) Mekton systems would make a perfectly good RPG and I didn't act on that till a good 20 years later

I hope so.

While I'm old enough to remember the Old D&D editions, I didn't get into D&D until later in life. My first TTRPG was Traveller

But I had a significant Rolemaster collection for a long time, etc.

So this game stems from that and the Psionics from Mekton Empire

It sparked an idea

My current project is Into Adventure, a 80s style TTRPG

More of the post AD&D era, it owes a lot to Cyberpunk 2020, Rolemaster and Fantasy Hero plus all the awesome ideas I can steal- er, I mean borrow as homages for some of my favorite systems of the Not So Old School

I wish that was all the trouble I've put myself in 😅

But my TTRPG has a pretty simple title

Honestly I think it's a good name, out of context on a map it really eye catching- in context it makes tons of sense

It's a compelling name, so odd for a fantasy world. Very Nice

Nice. Okay, I gotta ask- Tell me about The Fence
