Planet 28 - All the extra stuff.
« on: March 24, 2020, 11:20:10 AM »
Hello all!
I recently ran a kickstarter to produce a printed run of my rule system Planey 28 - A narrative skirmish system inspired by the work in the inq28 community.



It was always my intent to give these rules out free to the community once printed copies had been sent out to backers, But owing to recent global events and the possibility of severe postage delays i have decided to give the PDF out now!

You can download the rules for free here: https://www.wargamevault.com/product/307469/Planet-28--Simple-narrative-skirmish-rules

in the book you'll find rules for character creation, weapon creation, campaign progression and a plot generator to add some narrative to your pick up games.

Not a problem, The intent was always to give the rules away free not lock them into a kickstarter. Once the backer copies have been sent out (assuming the post offices survives the coming apocalypse) I'll have some printed copies for sale on the website .

I've set up a facebook group for planet 28 (and future mammoth miniatures releases) should anyone have queries/homebrew rules/criticisms - and thanks to the enthusiasm of the community the game has been on the wargames vault best sellers list since launch!

Looking forward to having a read of these. I kicked in the suggested price, so hopefully you'll get enough for a coffee at least. Cheers!

Re: Planet 28 - "Death on the periphery" now in print.

Evening all!
I just took delivery of a print run of Death on the periphery, The solo expansion for planet 28.
This expansion  can now be ordered in the same A5 zine format as the core book, meaning it can fit in a gaming bag or on a bookshelf without taking up acres of room.

In this 16 page book you'll find all the rules for playing solo and co-op games, giving your characters secret agendas, controlling enemy warbands, and even a micro campaign "escape from lychester VII" to get you started.
https://mammoth-miniatures.onlineweb.shop/Planet_28_-_Death_on_the_periphery/p6748004_20525226.aspx


And of course the PDF remains free on wargames vault as a pay what you like download.
