@oriskany has finished his Darkstar book and as one of the people who backed it I got a brand new copy of Darkstar in my inbox this morning at 9 am.

I didn’t want to waste any time and it just happened that my friend who was interested in Darkstar was free so we played a game using the Steam game “Tabletop Simulator”. I mixed and mashed a few different mods together and we quickly played our first game.

Look closely to the left and you can see the ships. This was a big board.Look closely to the left and you can see the ships. This was a big board.

We decided to play the first scenario named: Cruiser Clash At Contested Gas Giant Moon.

We only took out all the extra rules but kept the ships the same.

In Red we have the Squadron Leader the USS Nashville Light Cruiser

In Orange we have the USS Walsh the Destroyer

In Dark Blue we have the Squadron Leader KMS Königgratz the Light Cruiser

In Medium Purple we have the KMS Leuthen the Light Cruiser

In Light Blue we have the KMS Koblenz the Frigate

In Light Purple we have U-103 a Corvette

My English Bulldog Koota heard us so came in to see what was going on but when he found out the Royal Navy was nowhere in sight he decided to have a sleep.My English Bulldog Koota heard us so came in to see what was going on but when he found out the Royal Navy was nowhere in sight he decided to have a sleep.

This might sound cheesy and sappy, but damn, it feels so awesome to build a game, publish it, and within 3 or 4 hours, halfway around the world, a “like-minded soul” is playing and enjoying your game. Damn, yes. You played on a VERY big table. Average Darkstar tables require only 30-40 hexes on a side – the ratio doesn’t really matter, so long as you wind up in the vicinity of 1500-1200 total hexes. I’d say you had x4 that, at least. 😀 And congratulations, @elessar2590 – you have accomplished two firsts – first person to ever run a… Read more »
