Stardred: first glimpse


Happy new year!  

Thought I would kick off the year with something fresh and fun.  Since Skulldred is stuck on HDDs in Sydney, and I am in Melbourne- I decided to forge ahead on Stardred whilst I wait for the resources to ship up my stuff.
To get me in the mood, I did this quick mock up of the beta cover.  It's only about 25% done but I wanted to post it and go to bed ;)


This is a photo of my laptop- so it looks shitty.
Stardred is an space opera style skirmish game, harking back to science fiction as we thought it would look like in the 1980s.  It's set in an infinite universe of possibility and adventure, with alien races  rubbing shoulders with hardened space mercenaries, star pirates and stunted starminers trying to make a few cred.  It's all laser lances, reflex shields, gravity well grenades, scramblers, psychics, mutants, weird alien plants, battle droids and cyborg dinosaur mounts.

You can make your own alien races and hardware up, there are no restrictive army lists or codexes- so you can use any minis at any scale, from any manufacturer. Works coop, GM'ed, one on one, space dungeon exploration and so forth.

Oh, and it's gender, sex and race diverse.  Strangely enough.

Happy new year everyone, fingers crossed this is my year.

    1. It means white straight cisgender men aren't the only ones allowed into the badass power armor club of the future.

  3. Are you saying that there is finally a sci-fi skirmish game where I can explore the galaxy as a pansexual transhuman protovalkyrie from the ancient future past?

    1. Yes. Or at least, there will be once I have finished.
      I totally dated one of those too.

  4. I very much hope the future will actually be more gender, sex, race, and indeed species diverse. :) Where will you be releasing this? The art is great, and it sounds like the premise will be solid. Looking forward to it.

  5. Sounds really good, I already have rogue stars, void pirates and starport scum, more games never hurt. Will it support cyberpunk fans?
