Good set of VSF skirmish / rpg rules?
« on: 10 December 2011, 03:25:55 PM »
Looking for something that could be used for both minis battles and light roleplaying.  Possible choices so far are GASLIGHT, Tanzanica (a web based Mordheim conversion) and Savage Worlds, using the Rippers and Red Sands supplements.

Other ideas, or comments on the above?

Thanks

The savage worlds rules have a FREE skirmish wargame variant. Including a point build system and a lot of openings for role-playing elements.

Space: 1889 is a good choice.

There is a supplement to "The Sword and the Flame" called "The Sword in Africa" which really works out great for skirmishing games, but I have added alot of modifications to work with VSF. The only thing is that you will have to provide the role playing part.

Free is always great.  Where might this be obtained?

We use the Landships of Mogdonzia by John Bell:

And we use these charts:

Both of which are supplements to THE SWORD AND THE FLAME rules. We have had a blast playing these rules over the years. Hope you find the game that sparks your club into a steam arms race!

Never yet tried TSATF.  Considering the number of fan-made supplements written for it, it must be a good game, but I never heard that it was useful for rpg?
