In addition to a number of standard optional rules from the CG and CC, I am coming up with some of my own rules. Some of it will be straight forward and...
... I am sorely tempted to play myself, but at the peak of my daughter's softball season so discretion is probably the better part of valor. You players are...
Just an update to let everyone know that Jay and I will be at Origins Friday and Saturday. If you are also planning to attend and would like to meet up, please...
Have fun guys! Say hi to SVC for me! Jay, you can check out the work that kept me tied up all last week in the issue of Captain's Log (39) that SVC'll have on...
... We'll have to try and meet up on Saturday sometime. My cell number, for anyone going, is 1-307-340-8171. It's an Alltel number, so I have no idea what kind...
... I'll try! After the scheduling issues this year, and depending on how this year goes, I think in the future I will probably try to be there the entire ...
... But we've discovered that this time of year is always going to be bad for you, because you have so many birthdays, anniversaries, and work deadlines that...
... It died with a whimper, unfortunately. Looking at the diary, it got to April 2203 and then stopped. Like so many of my solo campaigns, I think I just ...
I've found the Full Thrust source material in the Files section, but I was wondering if there was any other info, perhaps game maps, from the now disappeared...
Hi, I was wonder how hard it would be to convert VBAM's "Fire as She Bears" to a fantasy setting. Instead of Spanish and British, you'd have Elves and Dwarves....

I haven't read the rules yet, so excuse the basic questions. :) Do different nationalities get bonuses, if so, what's the flavor of each one? Just curious,...
There are indeed some optional rules for "national traits", such as a higher British Crew quality for example. I am not sure you even need those to start ...
Cool. Where would you like to start? If you haven't read Uncharted yet, I'll give you the breakdown of the races Elves: Sail powered, more than the usual...
Doh! I forgot to add that both Dwarves and Shroud Mages have low crew numbers, which makes them want to avoid boarding actions. To: vbam@yahoogroups.com From:...
Chris, I'm going to take a moment and chime in here with a classic VBAM perspective (as a note I'm currently kicking ideas around for my own project so I'll...
I'm totally open, and might actually prefer, a few abstract bonuses that some of races can share -- as compared to each race having one or more specific...
I think either system will work since they are rooted in the same core mechanics. Now, I must remind you that VBAM 2E (traditional VBAM) will be coming out...
Chris, for the story or situation you're modeling you might not need to have tech advancement? As Jay noted the products are rooted in the similar mechanics....
Howdy! I failed remarkably at getting people to commit to a campaign from wargame events and game store ads. Should have started here and at Starmada's forums....
Hey, semi Starmada, Semi-VBAM Person here - I must admit that none of the campaigns I ever participated in entered a decent game flow, so my experience is...
