Title: Rules suggestions please.
Post by: smokezombie on October 22, 2013, 05:05:04 PM

Hello folks. I'm looking for a rule set to interest me. Something generically sci fi, skirmish based ( 5-15 figs) with campaign potential. The development of your characters is a must. A bit like Mordheim ( in SPAAAAAAAAACE!) but not necromunda ( or anything GW).
I haven't a clue what sci fi rules are out there so some pointers in the right direction would be much appreciated.

Mordheim in space, generic, 2-15 figs, campaign, experience and character design rules -> AE Bounty. Simple and fast game with nice morale and suppression rules. If you can find the printed book, it's a very good deal.

There was a rather closely related thread hereabouts recently:
http://leadadventureforum.com/index.php?topic=58310.0

It didn't focus on campaign system specifically tho but I would say there are significant similarities otherwise. You might want to check out some of the games mentioned in that thread for campaign potential.

I think our Pulp Alley game checks all your boxes, and we're seeing more players using it for sci-fi gaming.

You can download a free version from Wargame Vault -- http://www.wargamevault.com/index.php?manufacturers_id=5628

It's not the full version, but it's enough to learn the mechanics of play.

PM me if you have any questions.




HAVE FUN

Cheers for the reply fellas.

@Pentato. I picked up the rule book on Amazon last night. Cheers for the pointer.

@tnjrp. That thread is a mine of good suggestions. Many thanks.

@mr Phipps. Thanks for the suggestion. I shall have a peek at the rules, they are certainly getting some good press so sounds promising.

The Judge Dredd rules from Mongoose/Warlord are worth checking out.
