Transformers One Sourcebook!

Image
Renegade Games Studios just announced the preorder release of the Transformers One rpg sourcebook . https://renegadegamestudios.com/transformers-roleplaying-game-transformers-one-sourcebook I finally get to discuss this project, as I have been under an NDA for the last several months.  Only a week after I originally saw the film, I was contacted by Ben Heisler from Renegade Games Studios asking about my interest in doing some freelance writing for the TF rpg. I could not say "yes" fast enough. Transformers has always been my bag, since I discovered them. I was the perfect age and the absolute target demographic when they were released  in 1984. I was 7 years old and looking for a toy series to follow, as I was forbidden from following my original interest: Masters of the Universe. I had religiously-strict parents, the Satanic panic of the 80s was in full sing, and MOTU had magical and supernatural themes to it, making the show a "no-no" in terms of my being allowed ...

RANGE VIPER THREAT (GIJoe Essence20 rpg)

Image
I've been thinking about a scenario that involves the use of Ranger Vipers from GIJoe. However, looking through the various sourcebooks, Range Vipers have not yet been built as a Threat. As such, here is my Range Viper Threat Build, based on their classic toy card description and their upgraded accessories provided with their GIJoe Classified action figure. If you enjoy this content, please help support my friend Owen with his fight with cancer . Snail Nobra! Regular infantry would come back from a mission with hopes of getting hot meals and shower when they arrive at base.  Range-Vipers  are different. Their barracks is not a four-sided building with a roof, it's out there on the cold hard ground made of whatever makeshift materials they can find. Their meals are whatever edible walking or crawling critter that comes along, and their water comes from the nearest river and stream. They are only provided their uniforms and basic weapons. Whatever else they need they have to hun...

Jetfire Contact Build (Transformers Essence20 rpg)

Image
The contact build for today is a controversial character in the Transformers universe: The Autobot Air Defender Jetfire ! Jetfire (also known as Skyfire in the G1 animated series) wasbrought into the Transformers toy line when Habsro bought the rights to the transforming Veritech fighter jet toy from what was supposed to be the Macross / Robotech series. Because of this toy coup, when Robotech became popular in the United States, kids could not buy any veritech fighter toys, as it was exclusive to Transformers as Jetfire! There was much wailing and gnashing of teeth... at least, from those kids who didnt know they could repaint their toys and make custom figures. Meanwhile, in both the animated series and comic, Jetfire was the first character to switch sides for the better. He started as a Decepticon, only to eventually become an Autobot. This tradition continued in the  recent Transformers War For Cybertron Netflix trilogy. In my own campaign, Jetfire is the commander of the Auto...
