Timeship (role-playing game)

Timeship is a role-playing game published by Yaquinto Publications in 1983.

Description

Timeship is a time-travel system with very general rules.[1] The rulebook includes three scenarios, "Murder at the End of Time," "Destruction of Gommorrah," and "Assassinate the Fuhrer."[1] The game includes a GM's screen and a pad of character record sheets.[1]

Publication history

Timeship was designed by Herbie Brennan, with art by Johnny Robinson, and was published by Yaquinto Publications in 1983 as a boxed set including a 48-page book, a cardstock screen, a pad of 50 sheets, a map, and dice.[1]

Timeship was the last roleplaying game published by Yaquinto Publications.[2]:165

Reception

According to Lawrence Schick, the rules for Timeship "attempt to cover every historical possibility with maximum flexibility – an ambitious goal that is not quite achieved".[1]
