Thanks for the all the effort you've put into the game Burma.  We're giving it a go next week, so I'll report back on how we found it.

Just out of curiosity... What made you decide to create a sci-fi miniatures game?

Just out of curiosity... What made you decide to create a sci-fi miniatures game?

Hello casual tea and thanks for the awesome question! For me, finally deciding to sit down and fully develop a free, sci-fi/multiverse, tabletop skirmish ruleset came from a number of catalysts.

First, at the time (which was over a year ago now), there was really very few well supported skirmish systems for the sci-di genre. GW’s Shadow War Armageddon had all but fully collapsed, Necromunda had just started back-up but was still niche to the whole gang-war theme, no one really cared to play Deadzone, let alone buy the game, and other independent offerings were just OK to me—nothing special, and most not even that fun to play. (It’s funny how a year has changed so much for the sci-fi skirmish scene with the release of the new Kill Team and the increase of indie releases for the genre. I guess a lot of people  and publishers were also seeing a void as well.) So that was one of the main factors to sit down and see what I could come up with.

Second, I had just released a free skirmish ruleset (titled NCO) for WW2 squad v squad firefights, and people were really enjoying the game and the mechanics (which is a healthy mix of Bolt Action order dice mechanics with inspirations from Frostgrave, Mordheim and even X-Wing). I liked the order dice system at the skirmish gaming level A LOT and so did others, and since I was also really itching for a solid sci-fi ruleset, I figured I’d give it a go. It worked well! Even though both NCO and Star Breach now have crucially different feels, the core mechanics of both games are still similar and are, to me and my peers, some the most sleek, intuitive and balanced mechanics in TT gaming—free or otherwise.

Third, and lastly (for now, though many more factors were at play), I wanted to make the ruleset as player accessible as possible. That meant eventually creating 20 unique factions to cover every popular sci-fi motif imaginable so that players could use any models they wanted. That meant creating both a tournament mode and campaign mode, with a massive scenarios pack for games between 2-6 players. And that also meant the ruleset and supplements were going to be free to download and use. I live and work in a very impoverished part of the world, so I wanted the rules to be even accessible to those who would love to learn tabletop games, but never be able to pay the price for expensive rulesets. The other benefit of keeping the rules free and pdf based is that I can, and have many times, update the rules as feedback comes in from our players. It’s a living document that’s completely unlimited from a product line and unbound from publishing deadlines, which  both often taint a ruleset’s balance and playability.

So yeah! That’s why! Haha. :) Hope you give the game a go and let me know what you think! Cheers!

Hey Z! Thanks for the love! I hope you find the  game really worth your time and that you give it a go. Lots to explore. Solo (and cooperative mode) coming next year! Already got the ball rolling on those. Cheers!

Looks neat!

Lets say a person wanted to run some Daleks vs. Predators... which warband/faction would Daleks fall under?

a mixture of quick parts, sarcastic humour, reserve, and caprice.
