Blasters & Bulkheads 2nd Ed. delivers cinematic sci-fi skirmish in the Space Opera tradition! Written with 15mm figures in mind, but easily adaptable to 28mm, B&B features complete character and henchmen creation rules, including background careers, special traits, and a system for weird power use. Create your own abilities with handy sidebars explaining how to craft unique traits and powers. Built around the tried and tested Goalsystem engine from Four-Color Studios, B&B only uses six-sided dice and requires just a handful of miniatures to play fast, fun, and rewarding sci-fi skirmishes. Players can advance their characters using a complete campaign and experience system. This 2nd ed. offers a clear, clean layout, new artwork, and expanded rule systems that  include more sample species, hacking, giant monsters, and damaging structures.

Could you explain the differences between Void Pirates, Blasters & Bulkheads, and Farthest Star?

FS and VP use a faster resolution mechanism. Where B&B uses a two step resolution mechanic (roll to hit, then roll to damage), FS and VP resolve hit and damage in one exchange of dice rolls.

FS as a rule set has a lot more meat on its bones than VP. It includes: more RPG-like character generation (including no points costs), full Solo rules, PvP rules, revised combat rules, species design rules, six complete scenarios, and a better fleshed-out campaign system.

B&B does offer pretty detailed character creation, but it lacks the solo play and RPG plug-in mechanics.

Let me know if you have any follow-up[ questions, and thanks!

Hope this helps!

Scanned image
These products were created by scanning an original printed edition. Most older books are in scanned image format because original digital layout files never existed or were no longer available from the publisher.

For PDF download editions, each page has been run through Optical Character Recognition (OCR) software to attempt to decipher the printed text. The result of this OCR process is placed invisibly behind the picture of each scanned page, to allow for text searching. However, any text in a given book set on a graphical background or in handwritten fonts would most likely not be picked up by the OCR software, and is therefore not searchable. Also, a few larger books may be resampled to fit into the system, and may not have this searchable text background.

For printed books, we have performed high-resolution scans of an original hardcopy of the book. We essentially digitally re-master the book. Unfortunately, the resulting quality of these books is not as high. It's the problem of making a copy of a copy. The text is fine for reading, but illustration work starts to run dark, pixellating and/or losing shades of grey. Moiré patterns may develop in photos. We mark clearly which print titles come from scanned image books so that you can make an informed purchase decision about the quality of what you will receive.

Original electronic format
These ebooks were created from the original electronic layout files, and therefore are fully text searchable. Also, their file size tends to be smaller than scanned image books. Most newer books are in the original electronic format. Both download and print editions of such books should be high quality.
