For those that may have been trying to get in touch with me, I returned from my annual vacation to the Bighorn Mountains of northern Wyoming this evening. It...
Another quick email from the abyss! Before I left, Gareth posted an interesting population growth option up on the VBAM Forums (which I need to cross-post my...
Relating to Gareth's topic on Q-Ships (on the forums), I thought I would post my idea for a way to simplify raiding chances to a degree. The first concept to...

... While I don't think that the current system of generating bombardment points is perfect, that system will lead just to min-maxing instead. Now at least...
... I can see advantages and disadvantages for both variants. I do like the homeworld variant better as it prevents insta-teleporting the census to where it is...
I can see whole empires getting slaughtered during wartime with these raiding chances. Overall I do support the idea of simplifying things though. Rainer...
I was tinkering with a variant of this. Basically I used the current system to rate the most vulerable systems, then each turn, based on an overall escort and...
The next time I have a "brain blockage" when it comes to game designing or whatever I'm going to the Bighorn Mountains, apparently that fresh, cool air does...
... It would make a good site for a VBAM convocation, as you can get away from it all and be able to rest and relax. Not to mention I had the time to sit and...
... True. I haven't playtested the concept at all yet. I will probably start a small solo campaign to see if it does become overly annoying of not, and if ...
... I originally toyed with ships getting a "free" amount of bombardment points equal to their Anti-Ship divided by 5, but it didn't necessarily feel right to...
In this latest in a series of information stellarcasts, I wish to start a discussion relating to shipyards and how they function in the VBAM campaign system. ...
Under the normal rules, the length of a basic supply route is always 2 jumps from any Good Order colony with Census and Productivity greater than 3. While this...

I think it could certainly work and definitely be a nice addition to some maps I have played, specifically hex maps. Then there is almost a zone of supply in...

Howdy! After a long winter (here in the south) I put a end to the ongoing campaign I've been running since late last year. I don't have the time commitment...
