Something Different – The Fantasy Trip RPG at Burke Gilman Brewing

Not *completely* different, but Old School with no relation to D&D. The Fantasy Trip (TFT) has roots in the 70s as the progenitor of GURPS (Generic Universal Role Playing System). We’ll be playing the 2018 TFT Legacy Edition. Basic gameplay is simple, but under the hood it is about as crunchy (i.e. heavy on rules and mechanics) as 5th edition D&D. Just in very different ways. At its heart TFT is a skill-based, d6 roll-under system that is *not only about combat*. But combat is still a big part: deadly and tactical, using a map with strict movement and actions. As a preview, the basic combat system, Melee, is available to anyone as a free PDF. This will be an in-person open-table adventure to learn the rules and have fun. Last time the party discovered a secret temple in the sewers, battled cultists, and escaped with a captive. What might the aftermath hold? Beginners and experienced players are welcome. I have a broad selection of pre-generated characters to choose from, and a handout to cover the basic rules. Please bring a pencil and 3d6. I’ll have extra dice if needed. If you want to bring your own Legacy Edition RAW starting character please message me beforehand to avoid misunderstandings. We want cooperative adventurers. Paranoid edge lords and griefers can take the day off. I will monitor sign-ups and follow up to minimize no-shows.
