An odd find. WW2 based rpgs aren't common, and Fasa is a classic so I had to pick this up. First book somewhat affected by mould, but the staples in surprisingly good condition.

With 13 city-states to explore and cultural nitty-gritty that will make history buffs swoon, this campaign also bundles a new adventure module, Deathless on the Nile. Got the itch? Click the link and be prepped for a fundraising frenzy! https://tinyurl.com/3kxtxmy5 #Kickstarter #RPG #FASA #Victoriana #Tabletop #TabletopGames #Samsut
#Earthquake (#زلزله) M4.4 strikes 17 km S of #Fasā (#Iran) 29 min ago. More info: https://m.emsc.eu/?id=1694164
m.emsc.euLastQuakeA unique earthquake detection system: a blend of collaborative work from eyewitnesses and of data collection from seismic institutes. You felt an earthquake and want to add or see testimonies on a specific seismic event? Do you want to know if there are any earthquakes near you, or see the worldwide earthquakes in the last 24 hours?
#FASA had been in business for how long and they still make character sheets that look like they were designed by a college kid in 1988? Did they make this in Excel? What the fuck does TOU stand for? Is "Touchiness" an ability score in this game?
Hypothetical scenario;
If someone were to consider getting a #Rulebook for #Shadowrun, which #Edition, should he get?
Third, first, or Sixth?

Traveller game went a little wild. Some of them were ambushed and captured by artifact smugglers, but two escaped and made their way to their ship where they took off and blasted the smugglers ship while it was on the ground.
Legend of the Sky Raiders did not go exactly by the book.

One of the individuals we were suggested to contact turned out to be #Mountainshadow ... Kind of unexpected.
We really need to find this legendary weaponsmith who is AWOL. And we have no idea where to even begin looking.

It has been a long wait, but today I'm going to play Jorank, my Orc Archer, in #Earthdawn again.

allegedly the #RenegadeLegion game line was #FASA salvaging the games they'd pitched for the #StarWars license, but aside from the rebels vs. evil empire aspect, Renegade Legion is gritty #MilSF or #technoThriller, not #spaceOpera. there's no Star Wars left in it, not even with the #TimothyZahn dial turned up to twelve.
anyway, this was a nice little serendipitous find of something i'd always been interested in.

everything is d10-based instead of d6, there are #Traveller-like lifepaths, combat is more fine-grained and more lethal, but the bones and muscle are so close to #MSPE that it goes in my #TunnelsAndTrolls stack, not the #FASA stack.
I don't feel strongly about the #RenegadeLegion setting as presented in the book. the overwhelmingly powerful fascist New Roman Empire vs fractious human and alien polities feels like very early Baen Books, if you catch my drift.
last month i went out to 2nd & Charles and traded in a bunch of stuff for bunch of other stuff, like this copy of Legionnaire, the #RenegadeLegion #rpg from 1990 that #FASA apparently farmed out to Mike Stackpole and Bear Peters and got back a gnarly #MilSF-tuned version of #MercenariesSpiesAndPrivateEyes!

Game night! They’ve save the kids (mostly) and they’re out of the _mysterious_ caves, but their airship is drifting away! Are the GMCs ditching them? Did someone forget to set the parking brake? Something more ominous?
Spoiler: it’s something ominous as all hell.

37) FASA followed up their success with "Star Trek" by going after another phenomenal sci-fi show for their next RPG release, and adapted their system from Star Trek for it. "Doctor Who" gave you the opportunity to play as a Time Lord or companion, and was brilliant.
I probably spent a little too much for my shopping therapy today, but I found a collection of old Space Gamer magazines at my local game store and had to grab them.
Last day to get the FASA Traveller bundle. Lots of good stuff from the classic era, particularly the Sky Pirates trilogy.
bundleofholding.comFASA Traveller BundleTraveller! This all-new FASA Traveller Bundle presents .PDF ebooks of the early 1980s Classic Traveller supplements published by FASA Corporation. Later known for BattleTech and Shadowrun, FASA started as a Traveller licensee, publishing starship deck plans and adventures, many by the prolific designer J. Andrew Keith and his brother William. Still admired today, these modules represent old-school Traveller design at its best. Now you can get .PDFs of almost the entire FASA Traveller line for an unbeatable bargain price.
Before Shadowrun or Battletech, even before Star Trek, #FASA got their start as a #TravellerRPG licensee publishing deck plans, adventures and other suplements.
A blast from the past of Classic Traveller material from the early '80s:
