Legends of Tabletop AP 1 - "Dream Job"On March 12th 2017, Tod Foley ran a game of DayTrippers for the Legends of Tabletop crew. In this 3+ hour game, characters played by John Haremza, Vincent LaRosa and Jesse Pyne entered one of our strangest scenarios yet: an unstable Dream World that reaches into your head and toys with your emotions. Talking book people, sexy flowers, and a giant baby were found. Much freaking out and a little bit of involuntary urination was involved. Here's the video... |

Review of DayTrippers by Jaye FosterJaye Foster of 6d6 fame has written a well-thought-out and detailed review of DayTrippers - both the Core Rules book and the GameMasters Guide.

Mark Knights of Games-Onboard.com has reviewed DayTrippers Golden Age Adventures (which is now available in PDF format at the aforementioned Games-Onboard.com).
I can’t recommend this book any more highly. if you run DayTrippers, brilliant! If you do not but you do run a sci-fi exploration game – get it. Get it now.
The mysterious Abstract Machine has written a thought-provoking review of Golden Age Adventures. It's actually more of an expository essay on the nature of shared emergent narrative under different playstyles, and how this may be approached in DayTrippers. Storygame or Trad? Or right up the middle? Season to your own tastes!
"These are tools that enable you to run the game however you like. That’s not a threat, it’s a promise."
You may have noticed that DayTrippers has no Setting and no Timeline, only a handful of important companies and a list of optional Tech Advances for the GM to choose from. Admittedly, this is an unusual approach to the exposition of a campaign world.
It is typical for Players to expect something like "The History and Atlas of the Home World", but I refuse to write such a thing. I paint DT's Home-Earth only ironically, and with the slightest touch of the brush. Why? Several reasons...
Here's the latest review of the DayTrippers GameMasters Guide, written by Larry Hamilton of FollowMeAndDie.com ... He says "I’d buy this just for the generators." IKR? :-) Everybody loves the generators!
Full review here.
What happens when you blend narrative structural techniques with traditional GM approaches?
Well, some people don't know what to make of it!
The RPGPundit has published his review of the DayTrippers GameMasters Guide.
The RPG Pundit has written part 1 of his review of DayTrippers. His first review covers the 44-page DayTrippers Core Rules book (which is the "BRP" of the system).
In general he does a good job of identifying the game's basic mechanics, which is helpful for the curious. As for his critical judgments, here are my take-aways...
Ladies and gentlemen - we have a target launchdate!
DayTrippers Golden Age Adventures hits online stores in PDF format on Feb 29th, with the print edition following soon thereafter.
Although both systems are d6-based and involve traveling to distant planets in high-tech ships, the mechanical differences between Traveller and DayTrippers are rather significant. Because DT uses a sliding number of d6s to determine the based number rolled for action resolutions, the odds of success are substantially different between the two games. This required some adjusting :-)
