Pax Stellarum

[Marauder]

Hi All,

I know there isn't much discussion about spaceship games on this forum, but since this game is definitely set in the "future" I thought I'd post it here!

Here is a link to a new (free) game (and cool blog):

http://myevergrowingfleets.blogspot.ca/2012/08/pax-stellarum-released.html

I've been helping the author (of both the game and that blog) with some editing and rules ideas.  This game is a nice blend of ACTA/BFG/Full Thrust and has a lot mechanics too.  Very soon the design rules will be released (as soon as I finish proof reading them), which allow you to design almost anything you've seen in sci-fi pop culture. 

If anyone has any comments we'd love to hear them.

Thanks,
-Tim

Looks good. Let's see a game with them and lots of lovely pictures of spaceships!

Yeeah! Let's see some space! Ships!

And ships...in...space!!!!! 

I've never been one to get interested in large scale space battles, but I'm always happy to see someone promoting a new game or rules set.

Well, I don't have any BatRep's for the game since its release, but we have quite a few from during its development.

Here are a couple with photos:

Romulans vs. Cardassians

Empire vs. Diplomatic Corps

Design rules have now also been posted.  For those not interested in designing your own fleets we'll be posting stats for:

-Bab 5
-Star Trek TNG
-Star Wars
-Battle Fleet Gothic

And some more I don't even know about...

I just tried to download them but somehow I am too stupid to do it. I can view the files and print them but that's all...

Agis,

Open the file in google docs.  Once it has loaded you will get some menu options just under the file name at the top of the page.  Select file->download.

I would offer to email - but the files are quite large!  Note there is a printer friendly version of the main rulebook that you'll want for printing.

You got farther than I did at first. Couldn't print until I opened them in M$IE. 

Have yet to give them a go, but being a vachead, I'm enjoying even reading.

As an aside, I'm thinking of trying a 'Build Something...Spaceships' contest. Have to float a thread to see if there's any interest here.

Worked! Thanks.
