Help Support DayTrippers!

As you may know, I don't do Kickstarters (because it feels like holding my work for ransom), but that doesn't mean I don't need your help. Crowdfunding via Patreon allows everyone to get involved in producing more of what we love. So now you can help immanentize the incursion of tomorrow's hoary multiverse into our own bubble reality by contributing directly to the development of the DayTrippers line.

Curious about DayTrippers? Check out the interview on Brie Sheldon's Thoughty.com site. Brie asks game designer Tod Foley "Five Or So Questions" about the game's origins, intentions, playstyle and other interesting specifics for the interweb audience!

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?

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!

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.

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.

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...
