ÇNAPSHOT-30 taking shape

Posted by & filed under BLOG, Skirmish, Traveller.

I wanted to play some straight SNAPSHOT scaled up to 25-32mm so I tracked down this pic of the counter sheet from the original game: You can find it here on Grognardia. Since I replace the Character counters with (mostly) 28mm figs in my games I was really only after the Targeting and Explosion tokens…. Read more »

SNAPSHOT SNIPPET

Posted by & filed under BLOG, Skirmish, Traveller.

I found pics of the two sides of the SNAPSHOT Chart. I also found the errata for the Chart. So I jacked the resolution of the images, corrected the tables with the errata and fixed a string of typos.

Posted by & filed under BLOG, Skirmish, Traveller.

I just got these: [Lulu. Here and here.] I’m now working on using the Cepheus Engine to drive Snapshot. Here’s an example of where I’m going: Skills in ÇNAPSHOT SNAPSHOT is a half-inch grid/15mm fig system. But, since I’m an exclusively 25-32mm guy I needed an appropriately scaled deck plan to play on.

I recently realized something about the shenanigans of published RPG articles, modules and supplements that throws off my various 3d6-in-order, etc. converters for Mutants and Death Ray Guns and Song of Blades and Heroes.
