Other Borders

Nov 1, 2016 | Games, Products

There are borders everyone sees: the looming fence with its sporadic observation platforms, the tags claiming this block or that in the name of a local gang or drug cartel, and the wrought-iron fences surrounding gated communities.

There are borders that are real only in our minds, like the imaginary lines that divide country from country, or one race from another.

But in this little southwestern town, another border reveals itself to those gifted with the power to see it: the veil between the worlds. Even today, the old ways of magic are still taught; spells, curses, visions and transformations are still practiced, and opposing clans are locked in a daily battle that no policia would ever understand.

Other Borders is a modern-day game of drugs, money and magic in the American southwest. Written by Tod Foley and based on DramaSystem by Robin Laws, this standalone edition contains all you need to play (except 2 standard dice). Available in paperback, Kindle or PDF editions.

Vidome 123 – a DayTrippers Adventure

Jan 4, 2015 | Games, Products

Drir is a planet of poisonous swirling mists and intense humidity. Wisps and dark clouds of blue and green gases drift casually about without mixing, like oil and water, creating layers of shadow and subtle motion as far as the eye can see in all directions. It drips with mystery and plays havoc with visual perception.

The PCs are pitted against bizarre shape-shifting lifeforms on a mysterious and dangerously hostile planet in a distant galaxy, where they will find a murder mystery waiting to be solved. This adventure is designed to let the PCs show off a variety of skills while simultaneously giving your players the creeps.

Vidome 123 is a DayTrippers adventure module for 2 or more players. The tone is dark and spooky, with serious threats from inscrutable foes (both human and alien), and the plot is open-ended. This module is recommended for DayTrippers with at least one previous mission under their belt.

Less Little – a DayTrippers Adventure

Jan 4, 2015 | Games, Products

On a routine Exploration mission for a reality-hopping travel agency, the crew encounters a Flux Storm and something goes horribly wrong. The PCs find themselves in a comedic and surreal situation, dealing with a cast of neurotic NPCs, trapped in a world they may recognize from literature… and desperately seeking the way back home.

Less Little is an introductory DayTrippers adventure module for 1-2 players. The tone is dreamlike and humorous with some mildly adult situations, and the plot is firmly guided. Literary-minded players will quickly recognize where they are, although things will not go the way they remember from the book. This module is recommended for beginning players and campaigns with a whimsical touch.
