Can Gaslight rules be played by itself or do you need additional supplements in order to play?Any advice would be appreciated.

Gaslight is a stand alone game for skirmishes.
Battles by Gaslight is an add on book for playing larger games.
Adventures and Expeditions is an add on book that adds RPG elements.
To Be Continued.... by Gaslight is an add on that plays in the style of Pulp serials.
Adventures of Victoria Hawkes is a scenario book.

You need the Gaslight book to use any of the others.

There is a collected compendium in the works but one of the writers keeps being sent to Iraq so it keeps getting delayed.

You'll also find that the Yahoo group has additional rules and info as well.  like using Flyer's and so forth..

Does the Gaslight rules range all the way into Martian adventures or is it limited to activities on Earth and Atlantis?

So thats a huge area to be honest..

It doesn't give rules/stats specific to either, you create the units you want from within it's guidelines. We've played games on Mars, Venus, on Earth etc doesn't matter.

Oh,that's very nice and flexible! I think I'll be picking up a copy!

What are the GASLIGHT base mechanics and statcards like?

Im new to the rules but briefly

Units individually perform actions in randomly generated order each turn , move or fire. Success in combat and morale governed by beating a dice throw from your units stats.

Main characters have 3 stats fire, scuffle and save. Extras have just 2, fire and scufffle and tend to die in droves. Conveyances also have stats- start, sustain,speed  for movement and weapon stats.

Thinks thats the gist of it from memory.


Has anyone seen any adaptions for solo play?

Okay odd question does SRM only effect when your shooting at vehicles etc rather than shooting at people??

[Dewbakuk]

I believe so, yes.

[Lupus]

I believe so, yes.

Smart it makes a lot more sense now then

Nice rules they could just do with a huge re-write and some better examples for me..

Not that it'll stop me i hasten to add

[Dewbakuk]

Yeah, hopefully the compendium when it comes out will read better. The shotgun rules in standard gaslight confused the hell out of me for quite a while. Working out who got hit took me a while to get straight in my head.
