AlienStar Games is a small part-time company that produce rule systems to re-create the battles of the past, present and future using a table top, miniature figures, models and dice. War should be only “fought” on the table-top and most of our games have been in constant development for over of fifteen years. The science fiction role play is still in development nearly twenty years after the first draft was made. We believe in research and quality and passionately believe in education and learning. Best of all, the games are all FREE.
War is an abomination. It is not a necessary evil, it is just evil. War is the lowest act of humanity. For centuries it has resulted in the death, suffering and misery for millions. The financial, physical and emotional scars often carry on years after the conflict has ceased. We can’t undo the terrible past and horror that war has wrought, but we can learn from it.
NEWS: OCTOBER 2021
We work full time, have families etc, so the amount of time we can devote to running and developing ASG is, sadly, rather limited.
Taking a short break from our overly busy professional lives we are currently working on a raft of updates and these will be posted soon.
The crew have had a rare get together and have organised some quality ASG time over the Winter period – expect some updates and replies to messages that are sadly a few years old. As we are all key workers we have actually been more busy during the pandemic than ever before. In fact, Covid has inspired us to begin work on a solitaire system. We feel Covid is going to hang around for a while.
The Modern rules have been updated: The logic flow has been improved, typos eradicated, some clarifications and some bugs napalmed. There will be a minor update later in the year.
PHALANX, the Ancient period rules have been updated: A long overdue update that refines the playing experience, increases speed and efficiency. There will be a minor update later in the year. The army list is the next project.
Gaming that is ethical and educative.
PHILOSOPHY
These games primarily have been developed from a purely educational and academic point-of-view. The purpose is to provide educators, historians and hobbyists the ability to accurately re-create the ancient battles which have shaped Human history. We are here because of those conflicts. The games in no way extol violence or exalt one race above another, but provide a framework of understanding and learning about conflict, the experience of conflict and the peoples involved with them. It is our hope that, apart from enjoying the gaming experience, you learn about the terrible destruction that is war and the diversity that is Human nature, culture, political environment and motive.
