Rules: Science Fiction

Generic Outlandishly Big Spacefleets (GOBS) Rules

by

Generic Outlandishly Big Spacefleets (GOBS) is a set of free and easy-to-play rules for huge fleets of starships. The author writes:

G.O.B.S.! is fast-paced and easy to learn. Record-keeping is minimal; in most cases, ships blow up rather than retaining damage. (A two ship game of G.O.B.S.! would be over pretty quickly. This game is about fleets, Sparky! We want explosions all over the place!) The length of playing time is dependent on the size of your fleets, but an hour or two should do it for most cases. Wanna play longer? Build bigger fleets!

Stalker: Oblivion Lost Miniature Wargames Rules

by

Reader Dentatus offers a set of miniatures rules based on the Stalker: Oblivion Lost computer game.

He writes:

Stalker: Oblivion Lost is designed to be skirmish game for 28mm set in a science fiction/post apocalyptic setting. While players will command multiple troops, the focus is more on individual figures, equipment and abilities, than large scale combined arms battles. Thus the detail level is greater and games will emphasize combat more at the sharp and bitter end amidst the grime of blasted rubble and twisted steel than a detached God�s eye view of an entire war zone. 10 � 15 figures per side is the maximum suggested force size.
