  • Star Trek: Alpha Quadrant -- Free Traveller/CE rules for the ST universe by Steven J. Ege

    Jump

  • For the longest time, I wasn’t sure if a Star Trek game would suit my table. But then they released the Lower Decks and fixed that for me. 😅

  • Coriolanus System

  • Campaign Cartographer 3+

  • My attempt at Death Station

  • Darn. I still had two “quadrant one”s on this version.

    I thought I’d fixed that.

  • Issues uploading/loading images

    Jump

  • Apparently my issue was a false positive. It seems Lemmy doesn't like large images (even if small in size) but the message saying "too many pixels" was off-screen at that time.

    I resized the image and reuploaded. Everything seems fine now.

  • Cepheus Deluxe aims to simplify many rules, and Position in space combat is a great example. It also replaces initiative (those with highest position choose if they want their action to happen before or after their opponent).

    At the beginning of combat, pilots roll 1D + Piloting + DEX + Ship's maneuver. This is your starting Position.

    If you want to attack ships with higher Position than you, you get a penalty (or restriction... or maybe prohibition).

    There's also restritcitons depending on your weapon types (i.e.: fixed mounts are inflexible and may not attack without a favorable position). The Pilot must execute the Attack Vector action in order to allow the attack with fixed mounts (or main guns) when in an inferior position.

    So, the position tracker/chart I made just lets you keep track how hard it is to hit your enemies.

    I.e.: Ships placed in the top part have a better position than you; to hit them you need an Attack Vector, or to use Turrets. And you'd have a DM-3. You can hit those in the middle with DM-2, no other restrictions. Ships on the bottom are easy prey, you have a DM+1. Right area has DM0, and left area has DM-1.

    So the chart/tracker is not... gamechanger, by any means. But I figured its a nice way to visualize the battle in a VTT. Perhaps someone will actually use it on a VTT and let me know if it was useful or at least cool to have.

  • What do you use as map-making software?

    Jump

  • I settled on Campaign Cartographer 3+.

    It has a steep learning curve, but seems to be the most powerful tool by far.

  • To railroad or not to railroad?

  • I've been working on a new/custom sci-fi RPG system for the past year or so

  • Love the art! Thanks for sharing.

    From the outside, it seems like you’re close to finishing it. What’s next?

  • 😅 That’s probably beyond my skill level.

  • Aside from the ones mentioned, Star Wars also has the FFG system, right?

  • No hard rules at the moment. Though it's hard to judge if a digital image is truly "micro". ;)

  • That thought has crossed my mind. At first I thought it might be too broad, but now I'm thinking otherwise.

    Maybe Lemmy isn't as big (yet) as I initially thought.
