Just realized I never posted "How to Play 2/2" even though it's been out for a while now! Sorry about that! This clip covers the Special Actions Phase, mechs, and terrain effects. Enjoy!

We’ve been doing a “Vs.” series on our Instagram (@star_breach) to highlight the endless possibilities of sci-fi skirmishes you and your gaming group can have with the free Star Breach Ruleset! Been a blast!

Been keeping REALLY busy with hobbying for Star Breach. One of the best elements of the system is the openness in miniature usage and modeling! 20 different factions representing nearly every sci-fi motif imaginable means there’s a place on the table for any sci-fi model you could buy and paint, ever!

Here’s what I’ve been up to over the past month:

Since the Star Breach ruleset launched in January, we have seen literally thousands of unique visits to the website and downloads of the game and supplements. Feeling really honored and humbled by such a fun year of sharing my project with the world and watching players fall in love with the system!

As for me, even as it’s creator, Star Breach has completely reinvigorated my love for the tabletop gaming hobby: modeling, painting, playing, the whole package! I decided to celebrate a great first year for the game by compiling a big ‘ol gallery of pictures from all the Star Breach projects I finished this year. You can check out that gallery here: https://www.starbreach.com/forum/modeling-and-painting/elijah-s-star-breach-projects-2018-wrap-up

The previous post is just a small taste of what you’d find at the link. As for here on Dakka, I just wanted to say, “Thank You! Cheers! Huzzah!” to all the hobbyists out there who have loved on Star Breach and given it a fair go. Your support has been invaluable and I appreciate you all. Here’s to a wonderful new year of Star Breach in 2019! Don’t sleep on it. It may be your new favorite ruleset for sci-fi skirmishes, and we’ve got a lot more fun to come!

Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year!

Happy 2019! Hope the new year has been going well!

On Thursday, January 31st (next week), we'll be launching our new, all-in-one, full-color, fully cross-referenced PDF Rulebook. As always, the book will be available for FREE download on our website. It'll be incredibly easy to use in PDF format--with lots of hyperlinks to get you around the book quickly and efficiently--as well as very printer friendly for those who like to have pages in hand. Same great game, but it will now be easier to read and use than ever before!

Also next week, my local community will be hosting our first ever Star Breach tournament, and it's shaping up to be an awesome event! Will definitely share pictures and an update once we finish up the day.

Coming later this year: "Hunters", a cooperative/solo expansion to the Star Breach universe! Exciting!

NEW ALL-IN-ONE, FULLY CROSS-REFERENCED, FULL COLOR PDF 2.1 RULEBOOK LIVE NOW!

AND FREE AS ALWAYS AT STARBREACH.COM.

Just a few days ago now I was honored to host the world's first ever, official Star Breach tournament! It was an absolute blast here in Chiang Mai, Thailand! We had six players at three tables, and played for a total of three rounds (per the Star Breach tournament rules). The event was unbelievably smooth, and the rules held-up near perfectly under the pressure of nine games and six completely different warband builds. We were able to track the few superficial mechanics that needed a little tweaking, and I am happy to say those changes have been already made and integrated into the new PDF, which is available right now!

Here's some pics of our fantastic day! I hope Star Breach can bring you as much joy as it does me in this new year of gaming! And there's still just so much more fun to come!

A couple weeks ago I had the wonderful privilege of doing Star Breach’s very first podcast interview with my new friend Sam from Paintbrush and Dice! The episode is now LIVE at http://paintbrushanddicepodcast.com/ and if you love talking about miniature gaming and rules design, I think you’ll really enjoy it. Hear about some fun stories from my personal gaming life, how I came to create Star Breach, and why I think Star Breach is such a great game for all TT gamers everywhere. Check it out!

For those who missed it, we chose to cancel our Kickstarter last week. All good reasons. All good reasons:

The Flash Fund is now LIVE on our website! Check out starbreach.com/flashfund to pickup some order dice sets, a deluxe PDF, and a signed/numbered limited print hardcover rulebook. Extremely limited quantities, so order soon!

And for the big announcement: Starting next year, Star Breach and I will be officially joining the Slow Death Games family! This opportunity is incredibly exciting for me, as Chris Kohler and his team are longtime fans of Star Breach and masters of all things tabletop. In 2020, Slow Death Games will be publishing, stocking and distributing a Star Breach full color paperback and game accessories world wide as part of their games family, and I will join the team as a writing partner and games consultant. Lots of cool stuff to come, but one thing both Slow Death Games and I want you to know now: Star Breach will still have a stripped down PDF version of the rules on our website--FREE and forever available to players all over the world, from all walks of life. Thank you for the support and for celebrating this great news with us!

Just watched the Tabletop Minions recent video and he was quite complimentary on the game in his first ever "awards" video so I decided to give it a download and will be checking it out this weekend. What's the difference between the free download PDF and the paid one? Are there different book formats (like a hard and soft cover) coming out? I know there is a big selection of popular scifi themed factions in the PDF but are there also rules for constructing your own? I used to be a fan of the old Demonblade Shockforce ruleset years ago for casual beer and pretzel skirmish gaming and building factions yourself was a big part of that. I'm looking forward to checking the rules out this weekend.

Looks like a really neat little sci-fi skirmish ruleset. Nice adaptation of the Bolt Action-style dice pulls for activations. I prefer Grimdark Furute: Firefight because of the increased amount of units and weapons options, but the smaller selection of options for each faction would make this a really nice Con-game for demos.

Attacks can be a little clunky compared to other games due to all the addition and subtraction modifiers, but they still result in an effective way to show damage, especially how models can take multiple hits of damage before dying, and how different weapons can affect models in greater or lesser ways due to the wound system.

no problem and apparently a quick pre-order KS is coming for a softcover rulebook. I'm happy about that, as I missed the first for the hardcover.

Hey everyone!

Thanks for the recent love and support! I’ve been off of Dakka for quite sometime, especially as it was slow going here in the “not 40k” sci-fi corner of the forum. Haha. BUT, I greatly appreciate you guys who are keeping the thread alive and giving Star Breach your precious gaming/hobby time and attention. Thank you!

Some exciting news to reward you faithful followers: Slow Death Games has JUST launched our Kickstarter for the softcover retail book, and it’s a freak’n steal for KS backers! Only halfway through the first day, and we’re well over a third of the way there! Check it all out at: https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/slowdeathgames/star-breach-soft-cover-rulebook?ref=co9zdw&token=8a2326e4

A few fun additional updates: It was SO cool to find out Uncle Atom named Star Breach as one of his best picks for 2019! Very humbled and excited about that (cool little award badge attached!). Star Breach will be at Adepticon and Salute this year, and we’re hoping to have a co-op/solo book out in the fall/winter! Cheers!

Glad you swung by! Are there any rules differences between the softcover and let on your website? Or iirc the hardcover? Are there rules for creating new factions from scratch?

Thanks! There are absolutely no rules differences between our Free PDF, Deluxe PDF, Limited Edition Hardcover Book, and the retail Softcover Book. They are all 100% synchronized as "First Edition". The only difference is that the Free PDF is intentionally lighter on extra content, such as scenarios and campaign rules.

At this time, there are no rules for creating brand new factions, but with 20 factions currently represented (and all fully customizable) there shouldn't be too much of a need for that at the moment. We have yet to find a single range of sci-fi soldier models that don't easily fall somewhere within the 20 different factions and their general motifs. That being said, there is nothing stopping our players from mashing-up faction gear and rules and creating something new!

Maybe try this one here: https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/slowdeathgames/star-breach-soft-cover-rulebook?ref=nav_search&result=project&term=star%20breach

If that doesn't work, then a quick search of "Star Breach" on the Kickstarter site brings it right up. Also, there's a link for the KS on our website: starbreach.com (among some other awesome resources!)

I'd love more Dakka action! I always thought "News and Rumors" was reserved for 40K only, though? If not explicitly, then implicitly. If I'm wrong, then I'd be happy to see it pop up there!
