Alternity TTRPG Player’s Handbook cover.

What did you get in the mail this week?

Released in 1998, I see D&D in the roots of this system, and some of the future of D&D as well. Never played it though. Thoughts? #mailcall #ttrpg #alternity

RK Post Artwork on the cover for the Alternity TTRPG Adventure “Klick Clack” featuring a woman standing over a slain alien bug monster.

TTRPG GAME DESIGN VOMIT:
I’m in the middle of a jillion other things to spend time on but inspiration doesn’t respect your schedule, I guess!

This is all better spent in a saved note but why not share here, too, in case it excites.

I was thinking about these 2 adventures lately…

Covers for the d20 and Alternity editions of the Dark•Matter RPG. Featuring strange looking humans in sepia-tone depicting either supernatural or conspiracy theory feeling themes. Covers are similar save for edition trade dress.

Dark•Matter: Alternity vs. d20
Last year, I spent some quality time with the Alternity Game system, particularly Dark•Matter. Today I wanted to spend some time comparing the d20 version with the Alternity version.

[Alternity] Tangents Setting

Alternity fans: Have you ever played Alternity Tangents?:

Havard wants to know if this setting was ever revised and brought back?

Is d20 Modern's Project Javelin a close enough match?

The last #gencon I attended in Milwaukee…I bought the black cover preview edition of #Alternity i sold it somewhere along the line..this weekend I found a cache @halfpricebooks.bsky.social and bought back in.
In personal history, I wouldn’t attend Gencon for another 5 years after this.

I wonder if I can revisit an older game I played and add miniatures to it? Does anyone even play Alternity anymore? That was a fun sci-fi adventure. #Alternity #ttrpg

I completed the "AI for Marketers" course with #HubSpot Academy at Alternity Hub! Excited to explore AI’s role in project development, #research, and digital marketing.
Also, the artwork in the photo is "Cosmic Bloom" by #Glytch.

I'm doing it again. I'm chasing the White Whale:

Two concurrent and parallel campaigns, set in the Planescape and Star•Drive settings, as those settings slowly merge. Play-by-post, probably on #MythWeavers, extra-long recruitment period because of the OOP system and settings.

Wait, why does it say " #Binaltech " & " #Alternators "...? Isn't that an #Alternity figure...?

The more people writing about and playing #Alternity the better.

Because nobody asked:

6/6

I bought the #Alternity starter box because I had no idea what it was, it looked rad, and promised a game inside somehow; I tried to make my poor Aunt play.

A rollercoaster of RPG/card/board fandom since then, even if I rarely-if-ever get to play any tabletop. I still collect because it is happy.

#Alternity Convoy Ultimate Metal Silver

Released the same time as the red version. This is a version of Binaltech Convoy who travelled dimensions to warn of Alternity Megatron's plot to wake the time devouring beast Hytherion.

Review: Alternity Star*Drive
Continuing on with Alternity, I am turning my attention to the Star*Drive Campaign Setting. Take your characters to the stars in the 26th Century.
