Quad S Spaceship Combat

by

Quad S Evolution is the second edition of the Quad S Spaceship Combat system. It is available in a pay-what-you-want format. The authors write:

Quad-S: Evolution

Quad-S has been sold over 2000 copies in eight countries since it’s debut. Everybody from veteran gamers to new blood having its first taste of non-mass market gameplay is being introduced to Quad-S every week. With that kind of following, we had to come out with a second edition. Quad-S Evolution.

The basic premise that made Quad-S special has not changed. Quad-S is still a maneuver-based game that rewards good tactics. Every race is still diverse and plays by a different set of rules that is still compatible with the other races in gameplay. With honorable playing still a major for the spirit of the game, it is one of the main reasons Quad-S is still popular years later, is has generated a fan base of the “good” gamers.

Slammer Skirmish Science Fiction Rules

by

Slammer Skirmish is a set of free wargames rules for science fiction skirmishes. The author writes:

Slammer is a set of wargame rules for Science Fiction skirmish games using miniatures. Slammer is not tied to any specific background or company product line, you can use whatever figures or models you have. I intended from the start that Slammer would be flexible and adaptable to different scenarios. I have intentionally kept it fairly ‘loose’, particularly in areas like troop motivation and Hollywood heroics. Slammer is meant to be fun!

Tom Brown’s Africa Days

by

Veteran Gamer Bob Beattie has taken a popular 19th Century fictional character — Tom Brown, of Tom Brown’s Schooldays — and come up with a wonderful what-if game. What if Brown, all grown up, and disgraced in an accounting scandal ends up in Africa.

Bob calls this a “convergence role play game,” in which fictional and historical characters meet. Its the same sort of convergence that has been done in the League of Extraordinary Gentlemen and the incredible Kim Newman novel Anno Dracula.

This page has a description and photos of Bob’s game.

FREE OPEN & PLAY! All you need to start playing now! Introductory Adventure using the Siege Engine. Everything included.

Hell is an unkind place. A sprawling megalopolis of twisted streets and ramshackle buildings piled one on top of the other, clawing their way to height’s unseen where the Lords of Hell rule. Here the harvested souls of evil labor as slaves, doomed to eternal torment. Bound to a world of suffering, always yearning for a world beyond their own. Those wicked, and who are able, seek to flee this city of the damned and do so with whatever tool they can: greed, violence, avarice. Fleeing Hell is the only goal.

But to do so, these souls must pass the Borderhounds. They are Bounty Hunters set on the edge of forever who hunt down wayward souls and throw them in, or out, of Hell. Led by grim faced Brimstone, these Borderhounds are the bane of the damned.

Now you can join the Borderhounds!!

Brimstone and the Borderhounds is a complete, standalone Role Playing Game using the tried and tested Siege Engine, crafted by veteran game designer Jason Vey. Fight devils, demons and more in your hunt to capture Hell’s wayward souls!
