Star Fleet Battles Module D3 Available from Multiple Sources

"Captain, I show catastrophic damage to the ship!"
"Lieutenant, release the boom!"

The Star Fleet Battles Module D3 SSD Book is now available in print as a reprint and as an e-book. As an e-book, you now have a choice of the original black-and-white SSDs or the new color ones.

The capability of Federation and Klingon ships to separate their forward sections for use as "space lifeboats" is well known, and happens in scenarios and campaigns from time to time (more often than many players realize).

In response to requests from players, we have created this module to provide the specific SSDs needed for these separated booms and saucers.

Module D3 includes SSDs for:
12 Federation saucers
12 Klingon booms
5 Neo-Tholian rear hulls

Also included are two exciting scenarios:
Deadly Stings
A Klingon's Revenge

Would it be possible to get the R modules rules/description booklet as pdf's.

The ship descriptions add a nice bit of background, and some of the R modules also have rules.

And then there is also the annexes.

I realise the SSD books are the bulk of the R modules, but I still feel sometimes that it's only half a product.

Cheers


Bruce

[Steve Cole]

The annexes are in G3 and G3A. The ship descriptions are going into the master starship series.

While is it possible to upload the rulebooks, the problem is that rulebooks have to be updated before uploading (or we get bad reviews that cost us tons of sales) and so the total number of books we upload is a finite number. Every rulebook we upload is an SSD book we don't upload, and the SSD books are higher priority.

The Good, the Bad, and the Just Plain Weird!

This module includes the unusual ships found in Star Fleet Battles. From the mighty stellar fortress to the lowly small manufacturing freighter, if it is unusual, it is here. There are ships for the Federation, Klingons, Romulans, Kzintis, Gorns, Tholians, Orions, Hydrans, Lyrans, WYNs, ISC, Seltorians, Jindarians, and Vudar.

Heavy war cruisers: if they were good, why were so few built?
Stellar fortresses: the final bastions of the General War.
Battle frigates: getting something useful out of a small ship.
Space patrol ships: two gunboat flotillas, no fighters.
Seltorian battlewagons: how the Tholian spheres were destroyed.
Fleet oilers: small boring ships, but without fuel, nothing moves.
And dozens more of the strangest and most curious ships ever seen.

"New Stars to Conquer in the Triangulum Galaxy!"

Beginning the exploration of this entirely new galaxy, this 64-page module includes three new empires:

The Helgard are strangers from another dimension who have decided to forge a new Empire instead of going home.

The Worlds of Unions consist of various species all controlled by Arachnid parasites.

The Mallarans broke away from the Helgards and carved their own niche.

Each empire comes with new history, weapons, and ships. New technology includes neutronium armor, rotary shielding, battle armor for Marines, multi-purpose defenses, energy absorbers, and the blur device. New weapons include the plasmatron, ram torpedo, proton pulse emitter, graviton beam, pulse phaser, hellfire blaster, particle shotgun, and hellblazer. Twenty SSDs give you enough ships to start the conquest of a new galaxy.

You must have either the rulebook for the SFB Basic Set or the SFB Master Rulebook to use this book.

Please note this is a playtest module. Amarillo Design Bureau, Inc. welcomes your feedback.

Finally got around to downloading models R11, R12, X1, and Y2. Thanks!!

Any idea what's next??

On DTRPG aand WV:

X1 is not up, but X1R is.
R2, R3, and R4 are also up.
C3A is up.
D3 is up.
T2012 is up.
E2 is up.
We will be adding modules already on W23. Those include E3, E4, P6, R107 and YG3.

Totally new to ebook form, we are working on Y3.

It is a slow process. If I add four books per month at $15 each, will people not be able to afford them and then forget they are there? Would I be better off to spread it out (especially on DTRPG/WV where I can send an email to people telling them about the new things, thus reminding them about older items)?

It seems to be an art, not a science.

Yes, I meant X1R, not X1.

And Y3 is the one book I know I don't have in hard-copy. I need to inventory what else I want to order first, but I shall soon remedy that situation.

Star Fleet Battles Commander's Edition Volume I Revision 1 Now Available

Star Fleet Battles is still going strong today, but take a trip to the past with us.

It is 1983, and it is time for the phenomenon that is Star Fleet Battles to get organized. The game had grown through four expansions, and new material is being released every month. The structure of the original 1979 pocket game could not contain, control, or even keep track of the game as it had grown.

And so, the Commander's Edition was born, and would rule the game industry for nearly a decade. The original rules numbering system (whatever we thought of next got the next number) was discarded, and the rules were organized into the departments still used three decades later: A-General, B-How to play, C-Movement, D-Combat, E-Direct-fire weapons, F-Seeking weapons, G-Systems, H-Power, J-Shuttles, K-Gunboats, M-Mines, P-Terrain, R-Empires/ships, S-Scenarios, T-Mini-campaigns, U-Campaigns. The existing rules material was divided into three volumes, although volume I (this book) got most of the basic rules.

There were a lot of ships because even in that early time it was more ships that players wanted. The Federation had the original Franz Joseph ships (heavy cruiser, dreadnought, destroyer, scout, tug) plus the light cruiser. The Klingons had the D6, D7, C8, C9, F5, and E4. The Romulans had the Warbird, War Eagle, and KR. The Kzintis had the light cruiser, strike cruiser, carrier, and frigate. The Gorns had the heavy and light cruisers and the destroyer.

This book is now available from the following sources:
