What is Pillage? Whether you’re storming enemy villages in search of loot or defending your home from fire and steel, Pillage blends fast-paced mechanics with rich, cinematic moments. Climb towers, dive into rivers, rescue civilians, or set the world ablaze—no two games are ever the same. With its emphasis on storytelling, terrain, and objective-based play, Pillage turns your miniatures into heroes, cowards, and legends in a saga of your own making.Explore a system that is both accessible and deep, designed to recreate the iconic battles of the period: raids and pillaging. Burn villages, capture loot or future slaves, adapt your strategy to the weather, embark on your Longship, or defend your sacred relics from northern invaders! This book focuses on the period from the 793 raid on Lindisfarne Abbey to the Battle of Hastings in 1066, but it can easily be adapted to conflicts from Antiquity through to the end of the Middle Ages. It is a time of upheaval and conquest—a world where kingdoms are forged at the tip of a spear, where raiders strike without warning, and where glory means securing a place of honour alongside one's god. Average game duration: 1 to 2 hours Table size: 48" x 48" Miniatures: 15-30 warriors representing one of the seven factions Bases Sizes: Infantry - 25mm round, Cavalry - 40mm Round (25mm x 50mm will also work) Designed for both new and veteran players Mechanics Pillage lets you set your own objectives — from open war to narrative-driven raids like looting monasteries. Capture treasure, search buildings and take hostages. Decide for yourself, or choose from the many scenarios provided. The game revolves around your warriors’ equipment. WYSIWYG (What You See Is What You Get) takes center stage. Equip your warriors with all the arsenal at their disposal: javelins, swords, Dane axes, crossbows, etc. Each weapon has unique characteristics. The combat system is based on your warriors' equipment. The better equipped they are, the more powerful they will be. But beware, equipment isexpensive and heavy, and it slows down your troops... Will you choose speed or strength? Will you choose a small elite force, or large numbers of light troops? Pillage allows you to field shield walls, berserkers, huscarls, or even supply wagons. You can also play naval battles or start fires that can spread. And don’t forget to keep an eye on the weather!

A Stargrave supplement devoted to generating and running solo scenarios in which players hunt bounties across the Ravaged Galaxy… or perhaps become hunted themselves!It's hard to live with a price on your head, especially in the Ravaged Galaxy, where bounty hunters can be found on every planet.

A few aren't even motivated by the reward, but by vengeance, redemption, some notion of justice, or the pure thrill of the hunt. They're the truly dangerous ones. No matter what drives them, once a new bounty is posted, the hounds take up the chase and, more often than not, it all ends in violence…Dead or Alive gives Stargrave players all the tools they need to generate solo bounty-hunting scenarios, including a variety of different settings and locations, a host of complications to be faced, and, of course, a large rogues' gallery of unique outlaws.

A Stargrave supplement of exploration and adventure, full of strange and wonderful alien worlds, species, and technologies.Just beyond the rim of what was once 'civilized space' lies the vast, colourful expanse of the Crokoan Nebula. Seeking their fortunes, bold independent crews press deep into this largely unexplored sector. But the Ravaged Galaxy is a dangerous place, and the threats that crews face are not limited to those found on a planet's surface. In fact, more independent crews meet their ends in the dark void of space than are wiped out in gunfights. Black holes, asteroid fields, and even the legendary space kraken can all destroy a ship and its crew. It takes a deft hand on the controls, a sharp eye on navigation, and a bit of wizardry with the engines to fly between the stars.This supplement for­ Stargrave focuses on the ships that serve as the crews' transports, strategic headquarters, and homes, including new upgrades, a damage system, and rules for crew assignments such as piloting, gunnery, and navigation. New powers, soldiers, technology, and backgrounds for captains and first mates help reinforce crews, while rules for space encounters – dangerous, interesting, and potentially profitable incidents – and five new scenarios bring them face to face with strange alien species and other terrifying dangers in weird and wonderful locations, from unexplored planets to the depths of space.­

Take on the pirate fleets in this campaign for Stargrave, featuring full rules for playing the game solo or cooperatively. Since the end of the Last War, the great pirate fleets have roamed the ruins of the galaxy, pillaging, extorting, and enslaving.

Two of the largest and most vicious pirate fleets are meeting for a parlay near the ruins of an ancient research station... one that once experimented with ‘supernova-level events'.

Along with full rules for playing the game in this new style, the book contains an intricate campaign of connected scenarios. Whether you brave the perils of the campaign alone, or enlist the aid of another independent crew, this is your chance to bring back a little hope to the ravaged galaxy.

The second supplement for Stargrave offers a host of new scenarios and rules for gaining political backing as you fight across the ravaged galaxy.The Dahlgren Belt was once a vast asteroid mining operation that supplied the entire sector with rare metals and various elemental fuels. However, the isolation of the last war caused the corporation to wither, and the various outposts and colonies were eventually left to look after themselves. Some became true collectives, or limited democracies, while others have fallen to the rule of gangsters, warlords, and despots. In all cases, the limited resources of air and organic material has made life difficult.In this supplement for Stargrave, the crews must travel from asteroid-to-asteroid, and even down to the system's single, barely inhabitable planet, searching for a man who claims to have discovered a ‘big score'.

Captains must curry favour with the various small political factions that hold power in the Belt.

When it was commissioned, Imperial Research Station 37 was home to nearly 10,000 scientists and researchers working on a vast array of biological and chemical projects. Then, six months before the outbreak of the war, Station 37 went dark. No escape pods were launched and all attempts at communication went unanswered. Only a solitary, repeating broadcast filled the silence: "This station is under quarantine - do not approach”. When the war came, the station was forgotten, left to drift lifelessly in its empty system. Now, in the aftermath of the Last War, Station 37 has been rediscovered and its broadcast heard once more…Quarantine 37 is a supplement for Stargrave in which players lead their crews into an abandoned space station, hunting for lost technology, unique research, and forgotten experiments.

In the shifting labyrinth of the Ghost Archipelago, there is one group of islands that can almost always be found; the Islands of Fire.

Wizards tend to be secretive and solitary, rarely sharing their knowledge, and associating with only a select few apprentices, followers, and henchmen.

Part magical university, part museum, part tourist attraction, the great Collegium of Artistry had flourished in Felstad's final days. Under the leadership of the seemingly immortal Malcor the Mad, the vast complex expanded, with new wings being built wherever they would fit, including up and down the rock face, and even buried within the mountain itself. Visitors called it one of the architectural wonders of the world; the students, who often got lost in its endless tunnels, simply called it ‘The Maze'.

A MIGHTY TOME TO EXPAND YOUR BARONS' WAR EXPERIENCE! The reign of King John (1199-1217) was a tumultuous turning-point in the history of England. Decades of tension with the kings of France boiled over into conflict which saw Normandy, Brittany and Anjou lost. Meanwhile the fractious and restive rulers of Wales sought to exploit any sign of weakness and the kings of Scotland cast covetous eyes on Northumbria. At centre stage was King John, a figure whose distrusting nature made him as ungrateful to his allies as he was spiteful to his enemies. Resentment, hatred and fear pushed many of England's barons into armed defiance, leading to the Magna Carta, an unprecedented compromise limiting royal power. When it was quashed by the Pope, civil war followed. The Barons' War: King John brings these turbulent times onto the tabletop. It updates the Feudal European retinue list and introduces six more factions to the game: the light and flexible Welsh, the diverse and colourful Scottish, the aggressive Poitevins and the proudly disciplined Flemish, as well as hard-bitten professional Mercenaries and the cunning and desperate Outlaws. The hardcover 246 page sourcebook also provides rules and background for a score of the dramatis personae of the story, enabling you to command your troops with the vindictive King John, the chivalrous William Marshal and the scheming King Philip Augustus - or even Robin Hood and his Merry Men. Ten historical scenarios allow you to re-tell the bloody story of King John's reign, from bitter clashes in the Welsh Marches to the king's harrying of his enemies. You can recreate the titanic pitched battle of Bouvines or follow the stages of the climatic battle of Lincoln. Whichever side you take, there will be something for you in the first supplement for the new edition of The Barons' War.
