Bandits and Battlecruisers - sample pages

Here are some sample pages from the Bandits and Battlecruisers booklet. Click to enlarge:

New stuff in Bandits & Battlecruisers

Over a year has passed since I mentioned about this idea for a first time. Since that day, an idea evolved and changed, from campagin setting (now called Battlestation Omega) to separate rules system, based on (obviously) Bandits & Basilisks and Terminal Space. Game will be an obvious mix of these two products, but I plan to expand it with some additional stuff:

• Revised skills;
• More details about creating monsters (additional tables, keywords etc.);
• More types of starship armament;
• Damage chart for starship combat (weapon vs. armor types);
• Security status and trade routes;
• Something New about sector creation;
• More example monsters;
• Artifact generating aids (but not generators - just helpful stuff);
• Much more example starships.

I think that game will have about 50-70 A5-sized pages.

1000 Bandits & Basilisks hits!

Today (probably today) my Bandits & Basilisks ruleset was accesed 1000th time. Thanks!

I wonder if someone use it (I don't :D At least no at this moment).

Bandits & Basilisks on Scribd

Why not? Terminal Space was accessed via Scribd over 800 times, so maybe someone will need some lite rules from there?

Bandits and Battlecruisers sneak peek

I don't know if you remember my ideas about mixing Bandits & Basilisks, Terminal Space and some bizarre Sci-Fi ideas into new game / campaign setting. Although there is still not much new stuff about it (EVE is stealing most of my time :-(), i can show you some features of Bandits and Battlecruisers. Moreover, in the future i plan to change this list into index similar to the list of Underworld Kingdom resources, but i can't promise that i will update the 'B&B section' very often. So, here we go:

Brief description of planets and moons (Mercury, Venus, Dead Earth, Ares, Io, Kallisto, Ganymede etc.)

Phaeton's Tears (asteroid belt)

Crimson Rift and the Black Planet

Guilds (final evolution of the megacorporations)

Great Noble Houses

Nomadic Tribes

Pirate Nations

Ash'kari (aliens)

Monolith, Death of the Moon and Death of the Earth

War in Solar System

Charon Stargate

Ancient Battlefields

Possible chronology of the Last Millenium

Cults and Deities

Cyborg God

Solar system and Ortix

Inhabitants of the Dead Earth

Cyberenhancements

Alien Artifacts

Mutations and genetic alterations

Subhumans and posthumans of the Last Millenium

And inspiring image for the end:

Bandits & Battlecruisers?

Bandits & Basilisks + Terminal Space + setting placed in Solar System Anno 3000+? No Cthulhu Mythos (it's reserved for... nah, you must wait for it :D), but large amounts of cyberpunk-ish stuff? Bio-weapons, genetic alterations, cybernetic implants and so on... What do you think about it?

Bandits & Basilisks is out now!

Bandits & Basilisks - my (very) rules-lite old school gaming system is now available for download. I hope you enjoy it. If you have any suggestions - feel free to comment. More about its features can be found here (there are not too many of them because the entire game has 8 pages!).

It's also available via Box widget on Terminal  Space blog.

Coming soon!

My rules - lite (lighter than Microlite74!) old-school roleplaying system, based on 0e. Some of its features:

• No character class - PCs are just adventurers;
• No example spells - internet is full of them (I encourage you to drop all standard spells and switch to i.e. Ancient Vaults and Eldritch Secrets spellbook);
• Only two example monsters (bandit and basilisk :D).

File will be available for free, but I'd be grateful if you buy me a drink :-)
