Just throwing it out there, but if you were to sell copies of the template for the Bandit stat cards I would definitely buy one. I use them a lot, and having the ability to make cards for my fancily named M.A.D.C.A.T.s or random homebrew would be cool.
Great idea! I'll be making some updates to these anyway for the 0.2 release. I can include some "blank" cards in the extras and might even take some time here to get a few templates prepped for software I can get my hands on (Affinity might be the only common one I can't do).
Darn, i missed out on the community copies. This would be nice to play alongside other LUMEN RPGs and heck even wargames that use D6s and Hexgrids, well aware of it.
I'm in the process of prepping a new release of the game with some major layout changes (gameplay tweaks here and there but mostly presentational). Once that's ready I'll re-up the number of community copies available.
Until then, I do have a Quick-Start solo session adventure available as well (There should still be a few community/review copies available) to give you a taste until version 0.2 is up.
Oooo, looking forward to it. As for the hex map, not sure if its needed considering the nature of LUMEN RPGs but you never know. Personally im more on grids but afaik sci fi wargame using mechs or spaceships generally use hexes.
So I've found some decent space-fighter minis, but frankly I feel like I'm not looking in the right places, even a lot of the 3D print STLs I find are one-offs, with larger ranges being dedicated to Star Wars or Star Trek, neither of which are an ideal aesthetic for my purposes. Any recommendations?
Yes! I've been looking into this myself in the case I were ever to run demo games. I'm actually going to work up a more detailed answer as a Devlog post here shortly, for posterity. Thanks for getting me thinking on this topic!
Me and some close friends of mine played and just finished a tiny campaign in v0.01 of this game and we had a pretty good time. It was my first time actually running a game for them, but they all enjoyed themselves and the system itself. Interesting to see that power's been replaced for later versions, since we used it quite a bit in our game (it became really important against the final boss).
Thank you SO MUCH for sharing! It's exciting and rewarding to hear about folks playing the game, (especially as a first game to run for a group!) and to get a snapshot of how it went. I really appreciate you taking the time to let me know.
Hi! I'm getting ready to play this soon. I'm unsure on one rule, when attacking with either primary or secondary weapon, What do players roll? Can they still chose what attribute to use?
Yep! It is entirely up to the players (based on how they describe their attack) which attribute to roll. Missiles with +LockOn encourage the player to use GAUGE but they aren't forced to
Ah! I made them a bit on the high-res side out of caution. I don't have TTS on my computer at the moment, but I recall you can right click objects and resize them.
Worst case, I'll hop in this evening or next and create some smaller versions of the tokens for easier use.
I looked into why this might be but I'm not finding any solid answers. Have you had any trouble with other products on Itchi.io? My best guess was the fact that I built this document in Adobe InDesign. I know Adobe has ceased access to Creative Cloud in Russia....but I'm not sure why that would effect a PDF? Very sorry you had trouble with the download! If I can figure out what caused that I'll try and fix it in future updates.
Thanks so much for the feedback - and for letting me know about that goof with the naming! That's what I get for uploading at 2 am. Should be sorted out now.

Hi, its possible to have a community copies?
Absolutely! I usually re-up those after a significant update and forgot about it this time. Take a look now.
Thx a lot!

Though now you have me thinking on some optional rules for adapting to a traditional hex grid map...That might need to be included in a 0.3 update...

You're a rockstar, thanks so much!
I'll be running a short campaign of this with some buddies over the holidays. Super excited to try it out. I'll report back with notes!
Fantastic! So glad the game is making it to your table. I'd love to hear all about how it goes!

The Starfighter VTT Tokens are too big when I try to add them to Tabletop Simulator. What should I do?
Ah! I made them a bit on the high-res side out of caution. I don't have TTS on my computer at the moment, but I recall you can right click objects and resize them.

The map positioning mechanic is a touch of genius.
Thanks so much! It's been holding up nicely in playtesting thus far. I hope players will find it strategic and quick to understand.
when I dont use vpn it says it isnt available in my country
like not ALL russians are bad, i myself am disgusted at this war

thanks! that is very nice of you, sorry for thinking you blocked it to russians yourself
Excellent work capturing the vibe.
You are too kind.
Reading through this and loving every page. <3
Just a heads up, you have the singles and spreads switched in the downloads.
I especially love how the talents usually give you a thing to do in the sky and on the ground both.
