This site is split into several main sections. All navigation is done via the side frame and pull down menus. The Index graphic at the bottom of each page is to bring you to back to the main menu and mainly useful if you are stuck in a frame or have been sent to a page without the side links.
The main sections of this website include the following:
This site is based mainly on the Television series and the original novels, with minor elements from the current set of novels and the comics. With the differing editions of novels, comics and ideas there is a fair amount of contradiction in the BSG Universe, and here is where I cut through all the feldergarb and list all the background used for this site. This is done because I want a coherent history that does not conflict the series. It is continually in motion as I am updating as and when new BSG videos get released. Please note that I have tried to keep rules and the like out of this section, so it shouldn't matter where your interests lie, this section should contains something for everybody.
This section is where you will find all the basic rule changes for use with the SFB game. Whilst a lot of changes have been made to the normal SFB rules, it should be pointed out that the majority of these rules are actually what you can not do. As such, playing Battlestar Galactica with SFB sort of becomes a case of playing 'Simple SFB'.
Included here you will find all the SSD's for use with the SFB rules. Also you wil find some other things of interest, like some counter sheets.
All other gaming materials go here, and hopefully this section will be expanding. If you are currently running a BSG game using another system, then I would love to hear from you, and either send me your web address so I can link, or if you are not on the web but would like to be, send me your conversion rules and you will be! This is the non-SFB section of the site, or the 'Friends' section.
Under this section you will also find the Fleet Combat System and GURPS: Battlestar Galactica.
The Fleet Combat System:
A game of our (Terry Ollila and myself) own creation. Our aim is to have a game that is easy to play, fairly quick running, and able to simulate the massive fleet battles that are only ever mentioned in the series. Uses statistics based on the SFB game, although no previous experience of any game is actually needed.
GURPS: Battlestar Galactica:
Whilst there are many role-playing sites for BSG on the web, there are none that actually use a role-playing system. So, here I have attempted to change that using GURPS. you will also find a little bit of additional background (mainly related to equipment, money and alien species) that is needed for role-playing and thus is not listed in the above section.
Whilst notes and ideas can be found all over this site, this section is dedicated solely to gaming adventures and campaigns. For the most part, all gaming details are given in the BSG/SFB conversion format.
Formally the 'Silly Section', the Assorted Extras bit is where everything not directly related to war and role-playing can be found, including silly bits, art, reviews and more.
Not an exhaustive set of links (there are just too many sites out there!), but one that I hope to contain all the gaming rules on the web, computer program modifications, and other relevant links.
