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.

Victorian Villains Card Game

by

WarpSpawn has created a card game called Victorian Villains, which features such period luminaries as Sherlock Holmes, Tarzan, James West, Professor Moriarty, Count Dracula, Rasputin and Jack The Ripper. Its obviously not a miniatures game, but fans of the genre might find it interesting.

Update: To clear up any confusion, there are no pdf files fo the actual cards. Like all of Lloyd’s marvelous games, there is simply a list of cards. You have to make your own set out of playing cards, or old ccg cards. I put stickey labels on playing cards and use them.
