Description

Task Force Games Central Casting: Heroes for Tomorrow Character Creation System for Science Fiction Roleplay Games Unflatten your cardboard characters! Unlike Fantasy genre roleplaying, Science Fiction games have studiously depended upon character backgrounds to give their heroes skills and professions. yet like their fantasy brethren, SF adventurers are usually nothing more than two-legged weapon platforms or under-utilized organic parts of 50 ton battle machines. Sure, they served with the space marines, picked up a few skills and a gigawatt microdoom blaster, but they're still a bunch of lifeless statistics -- nothing but flat lusterless characters no different from a hundred other ex-space marines. With Central Casting: Heroes for Tomorrow, characters take on lives of their own. They gain families, friends, enemies, personalities, detailed past histories, and most importantly – they gain motivations for life and adventuring. Central Casting is a detailed, stand-alone system of tables, charts, and role-play guidelines for creating thoroughly individualized role-play characters. By following simple, step-by-step instructions, both game masters and players can give life to player and non-player characters alike! This book contains everything you need (except dice) to create detailed character histories and includes guidelines and rule materials to accommodate any Science Fiction game system. Central Casting: Heroes for Tomorrow is a 96-page character creation sourcebook for providing character background information during creation process and is designed for use with science fiction role-playing game systems (GURPS, Paranoia, Space Master, Star Trek, TMNT, Traveller, Star Frontiers, etc...) Published by Task Force Games 1989 Written by Paul Jaquays Cover art by Paul Jaquays ISBN: 0-922335-03-6 Softcover 96 pages Condition VERY GOOD Cover facings have considerable wear with a good bit of scuffing, scratching, spotting, staining, ground-in dirt, creasing, abrasions, and edge wear.

About Us
Hello fellow role playing enthusiast. I have been playing Dungeon's and Dragon's since 1976 and have played each version extensively. Since I first read Andre Norton's "Quag Keep", I have been scouting ahead in dungeon crawls, hurling fireballs, casting illusions, saving damsel's in distress, praying to the gods for aide and seeking a truly lawful and ordered society. As a dungeon master I am true to Gary Gygax's original teachings and have DM'd in Greyhawk, Forgotten Realms, Dark Sun and a few other settings of my own creation. I am a recovering addict of Dark Ages of Camelot and have played Witcher, Baldur's Gate, Neverwinter's Night, Torment, Icewind Dale, Morrowind and Oblivion. I have dabbled in Magic the Gathering, Warhammer, Bloodbowl, Munchkin, Paranoia and am an avid board gamer as well.
I will do my best to keep you satisfied so
you will enjoy purchasing items from me now and in the future.
