What would you like to see in a new VSF game?
« on: 06 August 2009, 10:30:23 PM »
There are several great rulesets out there, each with their own flavor- Gaslight, Valour/Steel/Flesh, 1889, etc.  Is there an aspect of the genre folks feel isn't covered by those venerable games?

Aren't they all skirmish sets?

A mass battle set would be good to see. I think Wessex Games have an idea with this...

Our own Martian Empires set is a fastplay mass battle set...

Some good, quick rules for vehicles, including gunboats and junks, etc. No one seems to have any good rules for water going vehicles.

I would like to see a character based skirmish game supported by great looking figures (Smartmax Smog 1888 but in 28mm). For general imagery something akin to League of Extraordinary Gemtlemen (The graphic novels, not that god awful film). need vehicle/flyer/naval rules as above, and some good steamtech design rules, so can use your own creations.

Underwater combat. VSF diving suits and subs vs Atlantean technology and creatures.

It's a game on my to-do list, although that list just keeps getting bigger.......
So many projects..... so little time.......
