Description
This project was made while visiting Yamatji country, and the lands of the Amangu people.Their Sovereignty should be honoured.Always Was, Always Will Be. *** Taskforce Babylon a small unit of special forces soldiers tasked with denying the enemy use of their mech suits. Alone in enemy territory for 5 hard months. Their success came at a heavy cost. Only 3 fireteams remain. Now they face one more daring raid, against the infamous Black Sky Garrison. Home to the enemies most gifted pilots, and their next gen mech suits. Babylon must destroy Black Sky at all cost.*** Sprinty Award winning game, BSFB was described by the judges as: "[...] A really cool design, [that] manages to achieve a hardbitten, technical feel through sleek "wizard's duel" style mechanics." What Kind Of Game Is This? Black Skies For Babylon is an asymmetrical co-op combat tragedy.A new entry in my series of games exploring mech fiction.This time the focus is on Taskforce Babylon. Spec Ops soldiers infiltrating an enemy mech base to destroy their advanced prototype machines, before they can be deployed.1 person plays the Garrison defending the mechs, the others play 1 of 3 fireteams there to destroy them.It's rules are simple, open-ended, and easy to learn. This game uses dice pools of d6s, map drawing, and collaboration to tell a tragic story.It explores themes of War, Death, Sacrifice, and the Cost of Victory. BSFB is formatted to fit a trifold brochure, as such the order of pages might look odd in the pdf reader.
