Synopsis

A streamlined wargame for cinematic space dogfights.

Voidfighter is a wargame of space-fighter combat where players pilot their squadron, perform special maneuvers – including barrel rolls and Immelmann turns – and unleash a barrage of laser blasts, all in an effort to defeat their foes.

Using a simple set of ship characteristics based around differing die types, as well as a variety of additional traits and weapons, players can create and customize the ship of their dreams from nimble fighters all the way to mighty, but cumbersome, corvettes. For players that want to jump straight into the cockpit and get to the action, the book also contains a great number of existing ship types based upon classic sci-fi tropes and ideas, from space empires to plucky mercenaries.

Also contained in Voidfighter are rules for a selection of celestial phenomena and other terrain types, a variety of differing scenarios, and a campaign system enabling pilots to increase in skill over the course of several games.

Strap in rookie. Power up your I-Drive and punch it into the void!
