I've been playing Starmada since it was a plain text document download on a college server. This game continues to evolve, grow, and expand to fulfill any need in your starship gaming genre of choice (Hint: Klingon Armada, etc.). Game play is great and the books are well written. Looking forward to the continued growth.
This can be used to play. But quality of board and counters requires players' patience. (or love for this title)
I wish two things:
Add images of board and counter as image files. (like map file for Double Star.) Images in PDF are too compressed that is not comfortable to play.
Provide clearer images for back side of admiral counters. Or provide names of admiral as text. Currently, names of admiral are unreadable.
There's no coherent design here; few pieces look like they should come from the same set. It's also pretty idiosyncratic; the only piece with reindeer is "Santa's alien helper feeding Rudolph", with the Womdeer taking the reindeer's place in pictures with Santa.
The introduction is from the Easter Kiddy counters and references those pieces instead of the Christmas ones. It's mostly an annoyance, more than a problem.
They are $0.50 at time of writing, so they have that going for them. You could use them for a Christmas D&D game, for example, though they aren't cut out for a VTT. But for any other than the silliest use, you're going to end up using one or two and creating your own set of Christmas tokens. Even, or especially, for children, I'd want a more cohesive set of tokens....

Have played this a few times now and have had alot of fun quick and easy set up. Great mechanics for the zombies to take them out of the players control!

An extremely fun, rules-lite, fast paced solo dungeon crawler. While specific rules can be a bit convoluted or hard to interpret at times, I can easily overlook the formatting issues as Ganesha Games is a one-man company originally operating out of Ukraine. With that in mind, Four Against Darkness is a simply incredible game that I find myself pulling out to play when I have some time to kill.
Four Against Darkness (4AD) is exactly as it states on the tin: you generate a random dungeon by exploring it room by room with a party of four adventurers. It has a nostalgic old-school charm to it, familiar to anyone that's played RPGs from the 90s, but trims away everything else. You explore the dungeon to fight monsters, get loot, and then get out. Simple in premise and practice, but has some surprising depth when you're trying to decide which injured party member gets that scroll of escape you just found and want to keep alive for the next dungeon.
Don't let the simplicity fool you thoug...

The only way I prefer to play 4AD. I usually run a few parties at a time and keep track of them outside of dungeons using a spreadsheet (my "Guild Roster"), but for playing the actual game and getting through a dungeon, this sheet is the way to go. Perfectly functional with just enough flair, and printer friendly to boot.

Map is great, very detailed works well on grid. I wish they would update the back catalog to .uvtt but, the maps are just great. I love the water on all of Heroic maps that have water. I tend to not like buildings too heavily skewed, but they have enough features and details that it's really easy to work with and the walls are thick enough to allow some flexibility with the skew.

Another great Mike Lambo game. I printed A3 versions of the map then played with space marines and genestealer minis.

Very nicely maintained, robust and dynamic set of rules that also fits into a larger OPR ecosystem of games.
Advanced Rulebook gets you a lot of extras, alternate options and addons to the main free game, updates are timely and well versed.
I've been using this font in the development of an RPG that uses Fudge dice (via Schema's engine), and this, especially the version filled in with black, has been very helpful. It not only has the dice faces I need in a way that looks good at smaller scales, it also has symbols I can use to represent unique results of dice rolls that are not dependent on the dice. The only part I didn't like about this font is the way the exclamation point works - I wish the mark were a little thicker inside the die, or at least that there was a version of the mark like that, so it too could be seen. As is, I switched to the diamond symbol to make it easier to distinguish from the other symbols I was using, which still looks fantastic.
The fact that my purchase will directly translate to publishing and I won't have to bother with a license that wants to charge me more for selling more copies makes me feel good about this purchase as well. Thanks, Wintertree!...
Files provided for the cards and counters are pdf which give no indication at what size they need to be printed. Have asked publisher for clarification but their support is non-existant. Have not been able to play as I do not want to waste my money having it printed only for it to be the wrong size.

I like these tiles. Planning to use them for some tabletop wargames. My only comment, is that the bases could be around the half of their current thickness, when placing as a single object on the tabletop.
