Tales from the Floating Vagabond is a science-fiction role-playing game by Lee Garvin,[1] published by Avalon Hill in 1991.
[3] The game takes a comedic approach to the genre, encouraging the gamemaster to begin each adventure in an outer space bar called the Floating Vagabond.
Players choose from races such as humans, elves, Disgustingly Cute Furry Things, and Dogmen, learn skills like "Look Good at All Times" and "Projectile Vomiting", and consume dangerous beverages containing toxic substances such as a singularity.
[4] Author Lee Garvin has released the original game in PDF, via OneBookShelf stores,[5][6] and was working on a second edition.
"[8] In the March 1993 edition of Dragon (Issue 191), Rick Swan thought this game "generated more groans than belly laughs, not a good sign from an RPG that lives and dies on the strength of its jokes.
