Gemini Rules For Warhammer 40K

by

The Gemini rules for Warhammer 40,000 are essentially a set of house rules for Games Workshop’s flagship product.

I think that the author is correct in his premise — that the Rogue Trader rules were perhaps the best.

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!
