Title: Xenotactics skirmish game
Post by: Xenotactics on 06 November 2017, 05:11:31 PM

Hi,

Here’s a game I’ve been writing. It’s sci-fi skirmish inspired by Infinity, Song of Blades and Heroes and Necromunda. The core rules are concise but there is also a large selection of weapons & special rules to choose from. The game has no background story. Instead you use whatever sci-fantasy miniatures you have, creating the characters with a point based calculator. Recently I added a campaign system to the game. Let me know what you think! I've been developing the game based on feedback for some time now.

To play you’ll need:
3-15 miniatures per player
3 ten sided dice per player
A tape measure
Miniature terrain

Shoot a mail to hello@xenotactics.com if you’d like to receive an email with full patch notes whenever I update the game.

A very nice little ruleset! I always like campaign systems built in. I have a similar skirmish system that I use for my own personal gaming, heavily modified for solo play. Am thinking about trying your system out for a solo gaming experience. May have to borrow a few of your concepts. :-)

They sound interesting.

I'll take a look at them.

Is there a Quick Reference Sheet available for the Basic, and/or other frequently used rules?

There is no quick reference sheet at the moment. I should probably write one. The actions and reactions are the most frequently used rules.

It's really worth putting together a downloadable pdf for these rules. Reading them off a website can be a bit troublesome at times.

Agreed, I tried to use a "print to pdf" version but the layout did not translate well.

Try save to pdf by pdfcrowd for the Firefox, very good result.
