I have to admit that a time travel module was almost the first thing that came to mind when I initially read Tales from the Loop.
Having these makes it even easier to run a great Tales from the Loop game, almost from scratch, though a good session zero is always recommended. Finally, the last chapter contains a character and adventure landscape.
The book contains the three modules and two more chapters, one that contains nine great places or phenomena that can be added to your setting of choice. The kids need to find the source of the time bubbles and confront the Chronograph and Kim Johnson, to fix the time paradox. The Chronograph has become unstable and strange time bubbles show up in the area. The final module, The Storm in the Hourglass, brings it all to a close. They are in a summer camp in the year 1969 and they need to uncover the experiments that the camp’s nurse is doing on the kids and get back to their own time. What’s worse, is the fact they are no longer in their own bodies. In the next module, Summer Camp, the kids are taken from the homes one night by yet another version of Kim Johnson and wake up in another place and another time. The kids get a chance to see Kim activate the temporal keys and step back in time. The madman is in fact Kim Johnson, who took over the madman’s body when she travelled back in time trying to stop herself from destroying the world. The madman has been building and placing so-called temporal keys all around the landscape. In the Animal Ark the kids search for lost pets, where they discover a madman and a reprogrammed robot that are trying to create a storm through a tear in the space-time. The three modules presented in Out of Time are The Animal Ark, Summer Camp and The Storm in the Hourglass. Of course, the campaign can easily be adjusted to whatever setting you choose, so if you have created your own Loop facility using the rules from Our friends, the Machines sourcebook, you should find it easy to make adjustments. The narrative is written for both the Swedish and US setting, so you can choose whether you go for the Malaren Islands or Boulder city. The kids need to travel back in time, to the 60’s to fully understand the events that lead up to the creation of the Chronograph, and back to the 80’s again in order to solve a time paradox that threatens to break reality. A researcher named Kim Johnson manages to create and test an actual time machine, aptly named the Chronograph.
Out of Time is a campaign in three parts, where the players take on the roles of kids that need to solve three mysteries, where time and space become unbalanced. Out of Time – a Quick Overview - SPOILER ALERT!!!. This game uses the same system as other Fria Ligan games, which uses the d6, where you build a dice pool based on attributes and skills. Thus we got our hands on the Out of Time campaign for Tales from the Loop, which is a superb game about kids in the 80’s that never was by Swedish publisher Fria Ligan.
And of course we try and participate in every Kickstarter campaign the Scandinavian publishers host. Naturally, we keep a close watch on every thing that is happening in Scandinavia, as most of us are Icelanders, even though Askur Yggdrasils is the single Icelandic roleplaying game so far. Whether you look at Mutant: Year Zero, Trudvang Chronicles, Black Void, Forbidden Lands, Lexoccultum, Symbaroum, Coriolis or Tales from the Loop, these are all great and fun table-top roleplaying games. There’s just something unique and fresh about the games that are being published in Scandinavia right now. It’s no secret that we at Yawning Portal are great fans of Scandinavian roleplaying games. This campaign was published along with the Things from the Flood Kickstarter campaign. Out of Time is a new campaign for Tales from the Loop by Fria Ligan.
