Got requested enough to codify a rule set for VSF party encounters, even pulp adventures. 1 Beer and an hour later:
http://armoredink.blogspot.com/2011/04/fast-vsf-party-skirmish-rules-41011.htmlAbout 3 pages, some charts, lots of no fluff. Simple, Fast, Variety, did I mention Simple? Allows for interaction, encourages multi sided encounter.GM sets the field and objectives, scatter the parties and start. Link to the VSF campaign group also there. The built in player moral: Characters used for the skirmish are from their VSF armies in the campaign. Rewards are usable in the campaign, characters that DIE are Dead also....get a great Obit in their home town I bet though
Creatures abilities are not posted so as to let them learn ... school of hard knocks.. also my Vegetation of Venus article will be in play at full force! Have to read and study, or pay the price!
Anything not covered and needs fixin, I make a call, add a note to the offical clip board and on we play!
