I wouldn't worry to much Tyrel. After the long wait for VBAM 2E, another month isn't gonna kill us.

Admittedly, we left the system simple. There should be some special ability to help with that. If not in the published rules, I'll check the unpublished 2nd edition set for you. I'm not finding anything in the special abilities section. Although I imagine I can adapt a Starmada rule to help. The fi...

It has been on my to-do list to work out a system to link the two for so long....... I am running into a bit of a snag at the moment. I want to differentiate the units a bit more then what the system typically allows. For instance, Crab Clan samurai tend to wear heavy armor. I'd like a way to add t...

If For the Masses doesn't work out, since you already like Starmada, you might be able to somehow reconfigure it towards a fantasy setting. It would be a stretch, obviously, but the Hull sizes would become Army sizes, the different weapon systems would represent the types of equipment each unit has...

As an aside, I'd be interested in any application of this one, as a co-author of the system That's kind of amusing actually. After reviewing all of them, I just went with the company I trust for my spaceship wargames, Majestic Twelve. I already bought and downloaded "For the Masses" at Dr...

I bet running a modded feudal Japan (or any other Total War) campaign game using VBAM would be pretty easy; substitute Provinces for Systems, Roads for Jump Lanes, drop starships and give players long ground unit Force Lists. Supply, intel, diplomacy, economy, population, productivity: I think thes...

As you likely got from the heading, I'm interested in building a game with a fantasy/oriental background. I've been playing alot of "Total War: Shogun 2" lately, and I really wanted to bring Legend of the 5 Rings into the game. My computer modding skills are a lil lacking, so I thought I'd...

I was waiting for 2E's release, but it doesn't seem like it's quite ready yet. So I might as well get this started. Looking for 2 things: 1) A little assistance fleshing the rules out for the setting. Since the game is based in the Mass Effect universe, I need to work out some minor details. Like sy...

Any new updates on how 2E is comin along? Just thought I'd ask since it's been a while.

Yeah, I think the migrant fleet adds some fun flavor that could annoy players. At the same time its hard to deal with due to humanitarian concerns, combined with the fact that it is said to be the largest fleet in the galaxy. So its gonna be an annoyance regardless. I like it! :D Both the Geth and C...

I hate to be a bother, but I haven't been able to locate a release date for 2E anywhere on the main page or store. Am I just missing it or is it not known yet? Even something like: 3rd quarter 2010, would be helpful.

I didn't even think about the star clusters, was gonna add a mass relay for each system, but that becomes problematic with ridiculous numbers of relays. I like your star cluster (sectors) alot more. Each player will custom build there own race and ships. I was planning to add a few npc races as well...

Hello all. I purchased the VBAM campaign guide about a year ago, but have just recently gotten a chance to sit down and read over the material. Military life is full of surprises... like short notice deployments! :D Anyways I was considering setting up a campaign for some of my friends that are inte...
