A one-shot, introductory adventure for the TTRPG of starfighter combat and military drama - Illuminated by Lumen. AFTER\\BURNER base game NOT required to play.

#oneshot2022jam

In OPERATION SNOWBLIND you will select from a set of pre-generated pilots who are finally feeling the consequences of their hot-shot attitudes! Too talented for a court-martial, you've been banished to garrison duty at a secret Naval Intelligence listening post on some god-awful, frozen rock. But as the enemy launches a full scale ground assault on the base, your squadron is their only hope for successful evacuation and survival!

This adventure takes you through two aerial skirmishes and all three phases of play in a 2-4 hour, single session, intended for 1 Sky Marshal (Errr..."Game Master") and 2-6 eager pilots.

This game is Illuminated by LUMEN: expect rules-lite, power-fantasy stories about larger-than-life, heroic starfighter pilots with Success/Mixed/Failure outcomes. After\\Burner takes the system in the direction of the combat flight game - with some sprinkling of the more sober and serious space flight sim for flavor.

AFTER\\BURNER draws on inspiration from:  The X-Wing flight sim series, Ace Combat series, Elite: DangerousBattlestar Galactica (2003), and some obligatory Top Gun.

NOTE: As part of a Game Jam release this product reflects a "Beta" version of After\\Burner and is undergoing continual  playtesting and periodic updates at this time. Those may trickle down to this one-shot but you will always have everything you need to play and enjoy this adventure!

It's here! Can't wait to read through it. I'm already planning to run this next month. :) 
Just a heads up, I think your Spreads file might be corrupted, I can't open it. Singels work fine. 

Thanks for the heads up! Looks like an export error I missed! The Spreads version should be working correctly now.

Hope you enjoy the game! I'd love to hear how it goes!

Base game not required? 
That's exciting. I love oneshots. 
When is this dropping? :)

I think I'll have everything together a week or so before the end of the jam. Writing is nearly done, art is mostly or entirely there, and layout has started. Fortunately, I can scavenge some of the layout from the core game to speed things along!

This is intended as a "give the game a go and strip out any rules that are a little extra/not relevant to a oneshot." If folks like it, the core game is there to jump into afterwards. Pre-generated characters so that the table isn't immediately overwhelmed with a menu of options or disappointed that they picked something not relevant to the mission. As tight a single evening experience as I can get it!
