Character Creation Challenge - Day 3 Far Trek

 Far Trek is an homage to Star Trek by C.R. Brandon.  You can find it his Far Trek blog.  It is a simple 3d6 system.  It is classed based in a way as you are either a Yellow Shirt, a Blue Shirt or a Red Shirt.  I decided to go risky today and make a character who is not only a Red Shirt but also a member of the security branch.

Character Creation Challenge - Day 2 OneDice Space

 My second character for the challenger will be for OneDice Space. The book comes with a

Character Creation Challenge

 There is a character creation challenge out there. 

So, I'm going to give it a try.  There will be repeats in systems.  At least variations of the same systems.  But I enjoy creating characters so what the heck.

First up is B/X created by the book.  I want to start with something simple.

Name: Thorn
Class: Fighter
STR 15 +1	HP: 7
INT 11
WIS 9	AC: 4
DEX 10
CON 14 +1	Align: Lawful
CHR 8
Level: 1	EXP: 0	GP: 7
Sword
Dagger
Chain
Shield
Rations
Torches
Lg Sack

Rolling attributes down the line gave me a fighter.  I didn't adjust any of the scores.  I rolled 90 gp to start with so there you have it.

Mini Six Again

 I was planning on creating and posting a Mini Six character today.  I looked back at my blog and realized I had posted a Mini Six character exactly 10 years ago!  It was a character for the Perdition mini-setting.  So here's a link to that character.  I'll create and post a new one in the next couple days.

OneDice Pulp Detective

 John Ayala grew up in a rough neighborhood.  His parents were hardworking people who did their best to put a roof over his head, food on the table and to raise him right.  To keep him off the streets and out of trouble his father got him involved in boxing as a kid and he became known throughout the city as a fighter.  He didn't pursue boxing though because he always wanted to be a police officer.  He put his mind to it and after he got out of school he reached his goal.  But once he became a cop, he sometimes had troubles telling the good guys from the bad.  So he quit.  He decided to become a private investigator.  He hoped he'd be able to do some good that way.  He's been disappointed so far.

Thundarr Premiered 40 Years Ago

I didn't realize until someone pointed it out on social media that Thundarr the Barbarian premiered 40 years ago today.  I was rather blown away!  Thundarr impacted me a couple ways.  Not only did I enjoy the show on it's own merit.  I mean, hey, it was a gonzo post

apocalypse show filled with action unlike anything I've ever seen before.  But it also expanded my RPG horizons.  I started RPGs with Melee solo games and Holmes Basic.  Thundarr, combined with books I was reading at the time, led me to Gamma World and to other games after that.  And I loved Gamma World with all of it's strange possibilities.  Technology, psychic powers, mutants, animal and plant people.  The whole works.  

I have the series on DVD.  I'm going to have to break it out and watch a few episodes today.

B/X Combined

 There is a way to get a printed copy of a B/X Combined book through Lulu. You combine the B/X PDFs into one document as suggested on page X3 in the Expert book and have it printed out through Lulu with a cool

cover someone created. Unfortunately, I haven't been able to create a PDF that Lulu will accept. It keeps telling me that the pages are different sizes and oriented in different ways. Hopefully, I'll be able to figure it someday. In the meantime I've resorted to making my own. I printed out the books, combined them and bound it with my comb binding machine.
