DayTrippers

	DayTrippers Core Rules Reviewed at FollowMeAndDie Larry Hamilton has written the most thorough summary of the DayTrippers core rules I've yet seen, over at followmeanddie.com If you're curious what you'll find within the pages of the core book, Larry's got you covered. His review of the DT Planet Generator last year got my attention, and I recently sent him the Core Rules to see what he thought. His full review is here.
	DayTrippers Core Rules Reviewed by RPGPundit 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...
	Leap into the Golden Age - Leap Day 2016 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.
	Converting from Traveller 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 :-)

He dives in and summarizes the main contents of each section of the book, letting you know what you will find there, which I think is very useful for any prospective Player or GM when considering a new system.

Framework Discussion on Misdirected Mark

Submitted by webtech on Sun, 11/08/2015 - 09:48

In the Nov 4 Misdirected Mark podcast, Phil and Chris talked about adventure frameworks and gave a nod to the DayTrippers Core Rules. Sounds like they were impressed with the shared mission design rules, and they also talked a bit about the scenario framework in the collab/narr version of the game. I can't wait until they read the DayTrippers GameMasters Guide and blow their misdirected minds! Mwahaha! http://misdirectedmark.com/mmp180-frameworks/

On October 21st, DayTrippers designer/author Tod Foley (that's me!) was the guest on the Legends of Tabletop podcast. The conversation included some of the "hybrid" techniques used in the game, including the YES/NO/AND/BUT action resolution system, progressive character generation, and the stance of the DayTrippers GM midway between trad and narrativism.
