Hello, and welcome to my TF RPG page. No, this isn't ANOTHER set of rules on how to convert TF stats into an RPG. I just basically use the TFs basic stats (SISERCFS), and have players roll under the appropriate skill, on a 12-sided die, when necessary. With a few flurishes, that's about it. I don't like having a lot of rules for my players to memorize -- I prefer to get to the story-telling.
My RPG is set in 1997, in the TF US/UK/G2 universe. Prime and Megatron mantained a truce after issue 12, and are struggling to maintain it so they can fortify Cybertron against an impending attack by Liege Maximo, who is the main background adversary in my campaign. Other wildcards include the Insecticons, who split with the Decepticons shortly before the Underbase Sage, and Starscream, who recently was kicked out of the Cons again after trying to recruit Trypticon into a nefarious scheme to break up the alliance and take over the Decepticons (Trypt just let Screamer keep talking, and broadcast everythign he was saying over his city speakers until security showed up to escort SS to the brig. Screamer escaped, and is now Public Enemy #1).
The most immediate threat right now in the campaign comes from a rather strange quarter. I distress signal was picked up by the Cybertrons from a Liege Maximo flagship floating uncomfortably near Cybertron. The Cybertrons investigated, and found the ship floating motionless in space, apparently abandoned (Liego Maximo Flagship Marie Celeste, apparently. ^_^). MSE XO Octane immediately wanted to raid it for energy resources, but luckily Space Commander Metalhawk saw the potential in actually plundering it for its model of Liego Maximo technology, to help defend the planet Cybertron from that aforementioned impending attack. So, Hydradread and the Cybertron Alliance members parked in space and waited for reinforcements, after meeting the members of another ship that answered the distress call, called the V'Ger, carrying two Junkions, Aria and Benin-Jeri. Motormaster arrived in Blast Off with a horde of Decepticon Marines and Stormtroopers, guarding a few MSE along to actually examine the technology. Motormaster lead them into the ship, but unfortunately not everyone is coming out alive....
Some of the principle players in my campaign:
Benin-Jeri
Astro Squad
Broadside
Flattop
Needlenose
Ratbat
Squeezeplay
If you can't tell, I'm trying to use character appropriate to the situation, NOT just my favourite characters. There will be no "Bumblebee sent on combat missions." I pay attention to functions. ^_^ Any questions about my RPG, or anything else, fell free to email me. Meanwhile, it's Back to the TransFormers page for you!.
