DARKSTAR CAMPAIGN UPDATE: DUCHESS ANNABEL’S WAR IS OVER
Darkstar v1 Rules Published for Everyone!
Good afternoon, OTT / Beasts of War:
Okay, I am officially publishing for general download the v1.0 rules for Darkstar, my tactical starship combat game.
With the background and “lore” previously made available in this thread, this reference is “nutz n’ boltz roolz” for basic, general gameplay, along with the write-ups and warship records sheets for 30 classes (including gunboats, corvettes, frigates, destroyers, light and heavy cruisers, battleships, and carriers) of the six of the most popular factions.
The .pdf is 146 pages, and also includes sample scenarios, tons of illustrated examples, designer’s notes, rules for upgrading your starships and commanders and helpful hints for your first few times trying the game.
The link is above. If you’re interested and don’t have access to it, please PM me with your e-mail address or e-mail at [email protected].
Great stuff
Thanks, @rasmus ! 😀
Thanks Jim 😀 😀
hope you had an Awesome Christmas and Spectacular New Years 🙂
Thanks very much, @buggeroff – I hope Santa was good to you this year and you have nothing but 6s in the 2019, both on and off the table! 😀
@oriskany never on the table, as Rob will afirm my dice rolling SUXS!!! 😉 but thanks the same, hope Santy was good to you too
I would let you start taking “mulligan rolls.” 😀 Whatever helps a good game going forward.
Looks great, however it appears you have forgotten to add shielding to the Scharnhorst Class, havn’t found any other typos yet
@Jacob Quakernaat – good catch. when we’re printing those sheets out for our own group, we always leave them blank because we’re constantly upgrading them. I meant to put all shield values back in but missed that one. Scharnhorst Class pocket battleship has shields of 4 in all facings except aft, where she has 5 (a little skimpy for a battleship yes, but she has to pay for that ridiculous FTL and SLD speed). There are going to be errors all through that thing, I cleaned it up as best I could but when you write, illustrate, and format 146… Read more »
This is brilliant @oriskany I am so excited to get stuck into the rules.
Awesome, @yavasa – let me know if the link doesn’t work (send your e-amil, preferably gmail, to me in PM).
We also play live on the web every weekend if you’re ever interested.
Only and only if I get a signed scan of the first page 🙂
The link works 🙂
