Publication history

[edit]

Avalon Hill published Tales from the Floating Vagabond in 1991. The following year they published HyperCad 54, Where Are You, a 92-page softcover book of adventures designed by Craig Sheeley, with additional material by Phil Morrissey, interior art by Vicky Wyman, cartography by Dave Dobyski, and cover art by Jim Holloway.

Reception

[edit]

In the March 1993 edition of Dragon (Issue 191), Rick Swan admitted he was not a fan of the original Tales from the Floating Vagabond game, commenting that it "generated more groans than belly laughs, not a good sign from an RPG that lives and dies on the strength of its jokes." But he was pleasantly surprised by this book, saying, "the HyperCad supplement gets it right, collecting five delightfully goofy scenarios." Although Swan liked the high production values, he concluded "It's Craig Sheeley's nimble writing that makes HyperCad a keeper."[2]
