Snap Up Stargrave: The Last Prospector This April From Osprey
January 11, 2022 by brennon
Osprey Games have a new expansion coming to Stargrave this year in April. You'll be able to dive deeper into this Sci-Fi miniatures game with The Last Prospector.
The Last Prospector // Stargrave
Here is some of the fluff behind this new expansion...
"The Dahlgren Belt was once a vast asteroid mining operation that supplied the entire sector with rare metals and various elemental fuels. However, the isolation of the last war caused the corporation to wither, and the various outposts and colonies were eventually left to look after themselves. Some became true collectives, or limited democracies, while others have fallen to the rule of gangsters, warlords, and despots. In all cases, the limited resources of air and organic material has made life difficult."
Your crews are going to be travelling from asteroid to asteroid in the system looking to find one man who discovered that "big score". This means exploring new locations including asteroid mines, zero-gravity environments and deadly jungles.
You will also need to work to win over the political factions of the Belt and mix together brute force with tact and guile in order to come out on top. This expansion seems like a great story-based campaign for those wanting to tell a specific tale using the Stargrave rules, and I am on board!

What's Next For Stargrave?
This one sounds like a lot of fun and we should be exploring it in more detail in April so watch out for that!
Are you playing a lot of Stargrave?
"This expansion seems like a great story-based campaign for those wanting to tell a specific tale using the Stargrave rules..."
No, nope, nah… not starting another system… no…
But it’s so easy – one book and all your random-but-cool SF minis have a home. Now admittedly I’ve also said that about Core Space and now have the Stargrave book as well as both Core Space kickstarters, so perhaps not the best model of restraint….
But Stargrave has beer and pizza….
That’s not really a system – that’s just an excuse to use your old minis and of course buy new ones 😀
Since when do we need excuses for that? oO
sounding great.
Osprey are now firmly in a pattern of drip feeding material for McCullough games. Fine there are certainly not the worst offenders, but the DLC approach was noticeable from the outset. Both for Oathmark and Stargrave I found the core rulebooks had enough empty space and trivial things in them to accommodate the first expansions. The expansions are nice enough, but the content could easily be condensed into half the physical space.
