Oriskany’s Darkstar Rules & Warships Now Available To All
January 4, 2019 by brennon
The rules and warships for Oriskany's Darkstar are now available for all to download. You can check out his project HERE where he has been going through an exhausting but awesome process of bringing this game to life.
"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."
You can find the download for the Darkstar rules HERE and of course, you'll be able to find out much more about the game by following his project. If you've not heard of Darkstar already then you might want to delve into the Let's Play we did of the game below...
Make sure to give it a watch and then maybe give the game a download, delving into some intense battles in the depths of space.
Drop your thoughts below if you've already got involved in Darkstar!

Awesome, @armourygames – I hope you like it! Ping me a PM if the link doesn’t work for you. Not exactly “modern war” but might be interesting all the same.
Actually, have a V&V game in Vietnam today, USMC vs. NVA along the DMZ near Camp Carrol, December 1967, during the buildup to Tet Offensive.
