DayTrippers

	DayTrippers - Live Game 12 Dec 2015 On 12 Dec, Tod Foley ran an exhibition game of DayTrippers for the Rolling Boxcars blog, authored by Keith Mageau. In this 3+ hour game, characters played by Keith Mageau, Tesla Ranger and Lloyd Gyan risked their fictional lives, appearing in the top-rated surreality show of 2115: *HyperSurvive!* Here's the video.
	DayTrippers Core Rules - the RollingBoxcars Review Keith Mageau has written a detailed review of the DayTrippers Core Rules over at RollingBoxcars.com. He says the game "drips and oozes sci-fi" and that it "leaves lots of room for creative storytelling and character development". Check out the rest of the review here.
	The DayTrippers GameMasters Guide - a review by David Guyll David Guyll, co-creator of A Sundered World, has written a review of the DayTrippers GameMasters Guide on his blog, Points of Light. He and co-author Melissa Fisher do seem to be quite pleased with the Generators and narrative structure systems.
	Framework Discussion on Misdirected Mark 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/

	Legends of Tabletop Interview 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.

Online Mission Generation System

Submitted by Tod on Fri, 06/26/2015 - 13:10

While working on the DayTrippers GameMasters Guide, I put together an online version of the mission generation system to test the generators in combination. Now I'm sharing it with you. This script (click link below) generates a random Mission, and if required by that Mission, it also generates a random Star, a Planet, a Location and a Lifeform. Infinite worlds await your exploration!

DayTrippers and the OSR

Submitted by webtech on Sat, 05/23/2015 - 21:59

I've been asked to explain how the surreal sci-fi RPG DayTrippers - with its collaborative/interpretive action resolution system and narrative arc model - can be considered "OSR". Certainly those things don't sound very "old-school". Indeed, the action resolution system in DayTrippers is based on a Narrativist technique, and the whole idea of working within a narrative arc is more Modern than Trad. At first glance, these things might make DayTrippers seem decidedly "new-school". That's especially true when we consider the Core Rules alone.

DayTrippers Planet Generator - A Hot Item?

Submitted by webtech on Sat, 05/16/2015 - 09:30

Apparently it is! The Little Planet Generator That Could has made it into the "Hottest Titles" category at Drivethru/RPGnow. It seems lots of people suddenly want to create lots of planets! While I would like to think this spike has something to do with DayTrippers, I suspect it has a lot more to do with James Spahn's White Star. - TF

Generator Generates a Review

Submitted by webtech on Fri, 05/15/2015 - 14:21

The DayTrippers Planet Generator has been reviewed at FollowMeAndDie. Unless I missed something in a periodic ego search, this would be the first review of any DayTrippers material to be published online. :-) - TF

DayTrippers GameMasters Guide

Written by Tod Foley (creator of CyberSpace, Ghosts in the Machine, and Watch the World Die) the DayTrippers Gamemasters Guide blends modern and traditional gamemastering techniques with the random input of oracular systems and the spontaneously-generative approach of surrealist art. Each adventure is designed to last a single session and return the PCs back to Earth, with the pacing of a short story or television episode.
