Trifletraxor Posted July 14, 2011 Share Posted July 14, 2011 (edited) Operation Ulysses takes place within the Gammadon fields, scene of an apocalyptic space war fought millennia ago by two extinct species. The shattered remains of their colossal starcraft still drift aimlessly and their ancient atomic mines even now patrol the space lanes, seeking to destroy any ship traversing the system. Midway through its journey across the Gammadon fields, near the planet of Ion 9, the ISIS corp. star freighter Ulysses was inexplicably wrenched out of hyperspace by an unknown form of energy. The Ulysses was hauling a huge consignment of litherium ore from IMF67 (ISIS Mining Facility 67) to ISIS corp.’s industrial centers on the planet Auris. Shortly after its initial distress call, all communication between ISIS Corp. and the Ulysses was lost. In this heroic level science fiction campaign, the adventures have been contacted by the mega-corporation ISIS corp. (Interstellar Industrial Supply), the largest litherium mining and manufacturing company in the Hadrion Galaxy, to investigate the recent disappearance of the Ulysses, one of their Titan-class starfreighters.

ragr Posted May 26, 2012 Share Posted May 26, 2012 Hi all Has anyone played through this? If so, how do you think it would work as a PBP rather than tabletop? Are there elements that would prove blockers to this? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
soltakss Posted May 26, 2012 Share Posted May 26, 2012 I've just downloaded it, so need to read it first. If nobody replies then I'll give my ideas.

Mankcam Posted May 27, 2012 Share Posted May 27, 2012 Sounds a bit like a Ridley Scott sci-fi to me. Hmmm I might get this after I see Prometheus and maybe my troupe might be up for a one-shot or so Quote " Sure it's fun, but it is also well known that a D20 roll and an AC is no match against a hefty swing of a D100% and a D20 Hit Location Table!"

Puck Posted May 28, 2012 Share Posted May 28, 2012 Was Operation Ulysses ever offered in print form? I always planned on buying this, but although it is available in PDF, I can't recall ever seeing it offered in print. Quote 294/420 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ragr Posted May 28, 2012 Share Posted May 28, 2012 PDF only as far as I can tell. That might be the one thing that puts me off. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Omro Gamer Posted May 28, 2012 Share Posted May 28, 2012 (edited) Blood & Badges Chaosium Inc. Today is the last day you can get it in print at the sale price. Odd that the link says blood and badges, but it leads to operation ulysses Edited May 28, 2012 by Omro Gamer Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Eric L. Webb Posted May 28, 2012 Share Posted May 28, 2012 (edited) Its in print form, always has been....its under the "Monographs" section, page 2. Dont know why they never put it under the Basic Roleplaying section. Edited May 28, 2012 by eric71 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Puck Posted May 29, 2012 Share Posted May 29, 2012 Shoot, I missed it twice then. I tend to make bulk orders to get free shipping. I will be sure to get it next time. I must have always looked for it under BRP. Quote 294/420 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Eric L. Webb Posted June 8, 2012 Share Posted June 8, 2012 did anyone ever decide if this would work as PBP? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pansophy Posted June 9, 2012 Share Posted June 9, 2012 I wanted to play a VTT game, but my timezone does not match with other players well. So, no luck on that front. As PBP it will work, I would attend it or GM it. Finding interested people is the main problem. So, if anybody is interested, give me a call Quote My Uploads - BRP and new: Revolution D100 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Eric L. Webb Posted October 19, 2012 Share Posted October 19, 2012 If anyone here owns this or has played through a campaign using it could they please head on over to Chaosium and leave an honest review, it would be much appreciated. Plus the rewards program gives you $3 for writing a review. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
