GEBB 109 - Hello¸ Goodbye
 |
An extraterrestrial presence is real¸ and the agents of an interplanetary Consortium monitor us from sites hidden throughout the world. All the while they watch humanity strip mine its planet to fuel the growth of populations and economies.
If there is a plan to avert environmental and social disaster¸ the aliens operating out of a subterranean base in Antarctica didn't get the memo. As much as some of them might want to help¸ the faceless bureaucracy they are part of prevents them from doing so. Rather¸ they go through the motions of their jobs¸ which mostly involve abducting people who won't be missed¸ subjecting them to probes and other exams¸ and then eventually returning them to their homes throughout the heartland.
GEBB follows the ongoing activities and periodic adventures of the occupants of this Antarctic base and the ways they cope with boredom and a lack of purpose in their lives through outlets like movies¸ junk food¸ video games¸ recreational drugs¸ and obsessing over pop culture. Join aliens Vz-7007z¸ Edwina¸ Joyce¸ and Derek¸ cyborg Steve¸ primordial monster Mama Shug¸ human serfs Marcus and Pix¸ and a revolving cast of grays in their quest to find meaning in their lives.

This improv storytelling game designed for a storyteller and one or more players can easily be played anywhere¸ from the airport waiting area you are stuck in¸ to the overnight in some hotel where there is nothing to do (and also¸ of course¸ in your own home). All the basic rules fit on one page; no dice are needed; characters have just two stats; and any bookkeeping that might be required can be done on a cocktail napkin with a pen borrowed from a waiter.

We have also had TSRPG translated into a number of other languages¸ including German (along with two adventures¸ "Eine Rose für Erato" and "Auf der Ebene des Magmas" )¸ Spanish (along with two adventures¸ "Una Rosa Para Erato" and "En el Plano de Magma" )¸ and Ukrainian !
