Random Starting Tech Level

Inspired by games like Encounter Critical and Terminal Space, here's a Random Starting Tech Level chart for Fuzion characters. I followed the Fuzion Tech Levels (which like most Tech Levels are very Eurocentric) but added some details.

Random Starting Tech Level

Roll 2D6-2

Tech Level.....Historical Era
0....................Neolithic
1....................Iron Age/Medieval
2....................Renaissance
3....................Victorian
4....................Early 20th Century
5....................Late 20th Century
6....................21st Century
7....................Near Future (Solar System Exploration)
8....................Early Interstellar Far Future
9....................Late Interstellar Far Future
10..................Hyper Science (transgalactic empires)

How this influences the character's Life Path is for the GM and players to work out.

C31 Translating Computer

C31 Translating Computer........12

Translates unknown languages into any selected Terran language. When spoken into it translates your words back via digitized voice. The C31 features a limited AI that has a habit of actively volunteering detailed answers to passing questions about technical matters, and has been known to offer translations of interjections that give the impression of sarcasm. Takes three turns to translate a simple language; six turns to analyze and translate a complex one. Note: on a roll of 1 on 1D6, any previously unknown language is untranslatable. Cost: 1,200 credits

Fuzion energy

Fuzion began as an ill-fated attempt to combine the Interlock and Hero System game mechanics. And for a while there in the late 20th century it was riding high. Long before anybody had uttered the phrase "OGL", the basic Fuzion rules were released free on the web under an open license. Before you knew it there were a huge number of free supplements and Fuzion based rpgs available on the web.

But the bubble soon burst. With few exceptions, the die-hard fans of both Interlock and Hero rejected the new integration. The lead designers soon abandoned the project. Hasbro released D&D under the OGL, sucking the wind out of Fuzion's sails. All of those great resources slowly started vanishing from the web.

All of this was getting to me a while ago when I blogged that Fuzion was a vanishing game. I was being a bit overly negative, since it wasn't long after that post that a free Fuzion Star Wars game appeared. But my interest in Fuzion was really renewed when I stumbled upon the Fuzion Library, a Russian site that collects almost all the great Fuzion resources one one page. Some of the material duplicates what you'll find on Chritian Conckle's TranzFuzion and Otto Blix's Studio187, but there's some great supplements there that I thought had all but disappeared from the web. Not only are the full rpgs, like Babylon 5 and the Lovecraftian Tekeli Li, there's also the Heroic Abilities supplement that provides a complete, Hero-style power system for the game. Seeing all this stuff again reminds me why I like Fuzion, and has really rekindled my interest in the game.

Fuzion Star Wars

Hats off to Jay Libby for posting a free Star Wars RPG using the versatile Fuzion System. It's really well done, and there's more to follow, he says. Definitely something worth checking out. He includes rules for vehicle damage, but you could also use Lord Jobe's write ups of all the major SW craft using the Mekton Z rules for some speeder smashing, lightsabre wielding fun. Either way it is everything you need to run a campaign set a long time ago, in a galaxy far, far away...
