Tales from the Floating Vagabond is a comic multiversal Tabletop RPG released in 1991 by Avalon Hill.It revolves around the eponymous Floating Vagabond, a bar floating near the middle of a dimension literally formed from the leftovers in the creation of the multiverse. Its owner, one Hawk "Spit" Luger, installed a portal generator on the bar's revolving door designed to randomly pluck up hapless folks from across the multiverse who happened to be walking into their usual watering hole at the time. Since the reaction of most such new customers, after the initial shock and panic had worn off, was to order several strong drinks, this naturally improved Spit's business.Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_mobile_ad_1'); })Basically it's Callahan's Crosstime Saloon but cartoonier and without the observations on the human condition.The player characters are a motley group of such newcomers to the Floating Vagabond who end up getting into various misadventures for one reason or another. Each player goes through the usual routine of assigning stats, skills with silly names such as "Swing Nasty Pointy Thing" (basic melee weapons), "Hurt People Really Badly" (martial arts), "Notice Obvious", and "Raise Children to be Responsible Adults Instead of Game Designers" ("This isn't so much a skill as a warning for parents who may read these rules"), and special powers called Shticks (which can let players ignore wound penalties, become almost irresistible to the opposite sex, or channel a slapstick comedian to bamboozle NPCs), then runs around dealing with (or causing) whatever trouble the Game Master throws at them.Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_mobile_ad_2'); })A second edition was crowdfunded in 2013, but after years worth of development, the project hit a stumbling block when author Lee Garvin passed away in June 2019, leaving behind a near-complete draft. A postmortem edition was announced to be in development from this draft alongside this news. | |
