Title: Space Grinders, Rules for Space Station Adventurers. Kickstarter DOA
Post by: Desert Dave on October 30, 2024, 10:24:47 PM
Hello all! Just a shameless plug for a simple ruleset I have created for adventures on derelict space stations, spaceships, mining colonies, ect. They are free and available on my new homepage. You can download and print them as you see fit. I have a supplement inbound in the coming month as well that goes into more crew types, scenarios and options. One of the main reasons for this post is Id love to hear feedback on the rules from anyone who uses them. I am currently working on some miniatures for the game/setting but in general the rules are miniature agnostic so use what you want. Thank you for looking at my silly little post. Cheers! Link below for the rules.

There is also a new facebook page for posting conversions or ideas which is also a free page, there is a link to the website there as well.

Space Grinders Starting
This game was brutal with nearly everyone wounded or dead after a couple of turns, although I kept things very basic as this was all new to me. May well give this another go at a later date.

As promised I gave it a whirl today, very interesting  :)

Thanks for trying it out Stormwolf! The supplement I’m preparing will add more scenarios and equipment to flush the rules out even more! Hope you had fun! Cheers

So here is the cover art for the “Infestation” supplement. It will contain new equipment and the first faction rules. These are a bit different as it allows you to field a crew of bugs, mutants, blobs or even parasites instead of those pesky humanoid crews. Should be up soon on the site for free 👍🏼

I swear there are no intended innuendo's in these book titles  :D Though I can see how one might think that  ;)

Sorry about that everyone. I have changed the website to reflect our studio. The link is below. All the same content is there and I will have a few miniatures for sale on the site that go well with the Space Grinders rulesets shortly. Cheers

Had a quick moving game this week between Cyber dwarves and Naval boarding party.

The random chaos table messed with the weapons ranges a couple times and the cramp quarters really made movement a crucial tactic.

On occasion a cyber dwarf equipped with rocket launcher really caused havoc with knockdowns of models standing too close to the target. One poor soul met his fate by the crushing claws of the cyber dwarfs monster bot.

Cyber dwarves with there monster sized robot were tough to bring down but the Naval party slowly widdled them down with surgical heavy laser strikes and help from an attached robot trooper of there own.

Title: Re: Space Grinders, Rules for Space Station Adventurers. Miniatures inbound
Post by: Desert Dave on March 05, 2025, 01:33:43 AM
So I as inspired to sculpt some miniatures to go along with the rules. Inparticular I did up some Infested. Below is a pic of the first one painted, i call them the Bloated. They kinda fit the Last of us infected by fugus vibe i felt. There are a total of six poses plus a similar set of human/insect hybrid dudes as well. Ill have more pics as I paint some up. Im gonna do a little kickstarter to distribute some castings if anyone is interested. Cheers

Hello all,

So I will be starting my little kickstarter for my homemade sculpts consisting of mutated crews and other sci fi types. If anyone is looking for some different, weird miniatures for use in tabletop and rpg settings I’d greatly appreciate the patronage.
