I recently discovered Tricbue Tales and I have to say I am really quite impressed. Yes, it is rules lite and yet still can provide a wide depth of play and can seemingly handle nearly ANY genre. Don't believe me? Head over to the creator's site (link below) and find the links of the right side. The first 3 are links to rules, the rest? Settings. SETTINGS! Want to play errand running trolls in dirigibles? Robbers in Sherwood? Interstellar smugglers? Jedis? Gangbusters? Stranger Things? Werewolves? Ghostbusters? Firefighters? Pirates? Weird West defenders? Each of these little settings are great springboards from which you could launch into a campaign for a creative DM.
Anyway, I am planning trying to squeeze in some sessions, and you know me, I cannot leave well enough alone, so I made a character card to use in the game....

I think I understand why I might like this game (beyond the actual rules I mean), this guy looks like he started with Savage Worlds, which used to be one of my favorite systems. Creators site:

I haven't actually played it but it seems to be a nifty little game.
ReplyDeleteWe have run a few game in the TCT. It flows very fast and is pretty smooth. We made some custom rules for super heroes and it handled the house rules without breaking. The addition of Tactics makes it so you can play the game for more than just one shots. By letting your players have some more choices.
ReplyDeleteDidn't realize you were a Savage Worlds guy at one point
