The Back Worlds Campaign

Welcome to the online home of my BackWorlds fantasy RPG campaign. This campaign setting was originally developed in Metagaming's The Fantasy Trip (TFT) in the early 70's, but has inevitably evolved over the years. After a 5 year hiatus while some of us had children, now in school, I've updated the auld campaign site to support a new round of play.

During the interlude I adapted the game for internet play via GRiP, designing automated character sheets as I did. Finding that players for such an old game were hard to come by, I designed a new character sheet for play under Fudge. For the most part, the style and feel of TFT was retained, especially in the magic system, but with the quick play and almost invisible game mechanics of Fudge. Recently, having lost my single Fudge player, I've switched back to the TFT rules and character sheets but have left the Fudge material online (under Design Notes) for those who may find it of interest.

Everything one needs to play this in this campaign will be online with key links flowing from this page. Copy what you will: all I ask is a link back to whichever page you borrow the material from. If you wish to play in my own campaign you will need a copy of iPC, the FREE Player's Client for GRiP from QuikLink Interactive, my TFT fantasy character sheet (zip, 14 Kb), and of course permission of the GM. Knowledge of the TFT system isn't a requirement, though acquaintance with its basics (PDF, 97 Kb) will help considerably. As for the fantasy setting itself, check the Fallopia and Outback pages.
