So we have made another shift as one of our players must be absent for awhile. So we are going to try out Rocket Age, but set in the Cosmic Patrol universe. We have played this system before for our pulp adventures. It is the Vortex system used in the Dr Who and Primaeval RPGs.
I had given some serious thought to using the Cosmic patrol rules, but it just seemed to have too many odd bits. I also contemplated other space games, Star Wars (West end), Buck Rogers, Traveller, Fate and a few others. However I do like the Vortex system, for the most part, and I wanted something easy and straightforward to use. The plan is to emulate the free form style of Cosmic Patrol but with an actual usable game system. Vortex provides characters enough generally defined skills and stats that provide characters with a chance to complete most any challenge. With only one or two players this becomes rather important.
So, I plan to do a few quick adventures in the Cosmic Patrol universe, maybe even many, hard to say. I have some plans, I have been working on character images for Roll20, hopefully it will be fun and hopefully we will get back to the Call of Cthulhu campaign this year.
These are my converted maps from the Cosmic Patrol core rule book. I used Inkarnate to render the images.
Might find a place for this older Inkarnate creation
