But, with lockdowns lingering, and an uncertain future for competitive gaming, I wanted to give people the opportunity to play some Stargrave as soon as they got the book. I mean, most players will already have miniatures and terrain they can use. They might just lack the opponent!
So, over the last couple of months, I developed a special mini-expansion for Stargrave that is going to be released for FREE at the same time as the rulebook. It’s called Stargrave: Dead or Alive. This mini-expansion allows you roll up solo, bounty hunting scenarios. Essentially, you roll for the unique outlaw you are after and their gang. You roll for a setting and any potential complications. Then, using the simple rules modifications, you go after your mark!
It’s not a full set of solo rules, but it is enough to give everyone a chance to play and get a taste for the game. And, for those that desire, it should be pretty easy to expand upon the ideas to construct longer bounty-hunting campaigns.
So, that’s coming free on the Osprey site when Stargrave launches!
(Now, try to think about the title Stargrave: Dead or Alive without singing it like the similarly titled Bon Jovi song...)
Noice!
ReplyDeleteExciting news, fantastic! Thanks!
ReplyDeleteWill Dead or Alive be games with a full crew vs the mark, or more like RoSD with a hero and a sidekick or two in pursuit?
I'm playing a lot of RoSD online at the moment, and it is working so much better than I had ever hoped it would that I am already thinking about a sci-fi version... and I haven't even seen the Stargrave rulebook yet.
Full crews.
DeleteThanks!
DeleteAwesome! I'm ready for some bounty hunting?
DeletePretty certain there are some RoSD SciFi skins in the facebook group
DeleteOn that last note....will it feature rules for steel horses too?
DeleteI'm a cowboy (BWAAAAAH) on a steel horse I ride!

ReplyDeleteSuper cool.
ReplyDeleteI really hope there is a print option.
ReplyDeleteYou spin me right round, baby, right round, like a 40mw plasma round in tbe FACE!
ReplyDeleteHeh heh. Good stuff as ever :)
:D :D :D
DeleteI want to give you kudos right away, but can't on Facebook because I got a 24 hour ban for writing that Christians are weird. Anyway, thanks for making this! I'm looking forward to it already!
ReplyDeletea lot of christians are weird...
DeleteDon't say that where Zucc can hear you!
DeleteYes fantastic and can`t wait, thanks very much.
ReplyDeleteAs for the song, in my mind is the Group Dead or Alive and the song "You spin me (like a record baby)" :)
Thanks again
Oh, so I'm not alone in my suffering :D :D :D
DeleteMany thanks, looking forward to it.
ReplyDeleteCan't wait!!!
ReplyDeleteLove the cover art.
ReplyDeleteThanks a lot, those are really good news!
ReplyDeleteThanks Joe... now Bon Jovi “ Dead or alive” is stuck in my head.... and thank you for the supplement for solo gaming... 🤨😁
ReplyDeleteThats much better then the zombie shark tuttutututu last time... 😀
DeleteI've got "You spin me right round (like a record)" by Dead Or Alive worming its way in to my brain. :(
DeleteDoes anyone know when the Nickstarter is for this?
ReplyDeleteTuesday 6th of april.
DeleteI'll probably sign up for the Nickstarter with Brigade Games--would this still be available thru them?
ReplyDeleteIt is! And badger games
Delete@Joe. Ordered my three boxes of minis through Brigade to get in on Nickstarter. £29k after one day! Awesome! Any chance this is the most successful Nickstarter ever?
ReplyDeleteThanks JP! I can't remember all of the Nickstarters, but I think the answer is not yet. I seem to remember one - perhaps the Muskets and Tomahawks one going to £40K-ish.
Delete@Joe- can you post on your blog when "Dead or Alive" is available? I just checked Osprey's site and don't see it-- am definitely going to want it when my Nickstarter order arrives! thanks.
ReplyDeleteHi Joseph.
ReplyDeleteWill we get our hands on this dead or alive expansion? My son want to try it solo...
