tegyriusThe Kickstarter campaign for the Trinity Continuum reboot went live today.
This game line - and especially Aeon (née Trinity), its 2120s-era science fiction setting - has always had a special place in my heart. I was an intern at the Wolf when it was in initial design. It came out after I'd gone back to school to try to be an English major, with the vague intent of one day being a writer. I picked up the core book's first printing at a game store in Dayton over Halloween weekend of '97 - if memory serves, a few days before it was officially supposed to be on shelves.
I've been a gamer since 1986, when I got started with Car Wars and Ogre. Tabletop RPGs? Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles around '87 or '88, I think. I've played a damn lot of games. My current collection is 35 linear shelf-feet of gaming books (and a few boxed sets) and that's after a lot of winnowing and the occasional unreturned loan.
In all that time, Aeon has consistently been on the impossible-to-rank-numerically short list of my favorite RPGs, and the all-time setting in which I'd most want to be a PC.
So I've been having an emotionally complex reaction all day, seeing those Kickstarter funding numbers scrolling up and up on the return of the game I love so much, and that I'm fortunate enough to have written for in both editions.
Damn.
