Space: 1939 Tubepunk Campaign

Dear Friends,

I'm slowly but surely putting together my Traveller Campaign, "Space: 1939". The premise now basically is that what if the Rag-Tag Colonial Fleet didn't show up in the Solar System in 1980 as in the original BSG series, or hundreds of thousands of yahren ago, as per the reimagined show, but rather in 1939 ! So, you'd get a cool fusing of Colonial / Cylon technologies and WWII, thus Tubepunk ! Imagine then WWII re-fought Tubepunk style. Pearl Harbor would be something like this:http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NWBKSO4DvWk&feature=related

So, the campaign fast forwards a few years later, with the war fought with all sorts of hybrid technology. This premise then lets you bring in all the cool jets, walkers, supertanks, zombies, etc. from the likes of Code Guardian (the source of the video clip), Gear Krieg, Dust Tactics, Luft 46, Wehrmacht 47, etc. Also, lurking in orbit, are the Bismarck, Yamato, New Jersey, Ark Royal, etc., fitted out with fusion drives ! (An earlier incarnation of the campaign concept was "Sternkreuzer Bismarck"). The environment then could readily incorporate elements of my other great love, the Anderson-verse ! SHADO, Moonbase Alpha, International Rescue, etc., could also emerge in the milieu. The campaign would therefore have a range of weapons and vehicles spanning TLs 6-12 !

My target roll-out for the campaign is Spring 2013, to debut live in the Philippines, but with players welcome to participate via forum. Space:1939 could also cross-over the Prime Directive-Traveller Campaign that is also in the works in Manila.

Thanks !

Dear Friends,

As I've just noticed that the proprietors of the BSG franchise have caused the sites which host fanmade BSG mods for computer games to set them aside, I will keep silent for now on the BSG element. But the overall premise remains the same - the introduction of fusion and other advanced technologies to 1930s' Earth !

Cheers,

Gary
