Nic Evans of Mammoth Miniatures is on Kickstarter right now with a couple of weeks left on their campaign to fund the Final Edition of Planet 28, one of the best Sci-Fi skirmish games that has come out of the recent trend of Grimdark, Indie wargames from within the "28" scene.

Planet 28 - The Final Edition // Mammoth Miniatures

The new Final Edition of Planet 28 takes on board six years of player feedback with the goal of producing the final version of the rules that anyone would ever need. One of the core goals is to make sure that this version of the rules are compatible with the previous versions of Planet 28 (great). This will also come alongside new artwork, more game content and much more besides.

The core mechanics of the game are quick, easy and use a simple d10 system, which means that everyone can grasp it. On top of that, you'll also find rules for morale, intelligence, off-table actions, campaign systems for longer stories to be told, character progression, vehicles, injuries and much more.

Planet 28 Versions // Mammoth Miniatures

Planet 28 can also be played solo, cooperatively or with players going up against each other in warband-style clashes. You could even play against a Game Master if you wanted to dive in and play something akin to classic games like Inquisitor. Whatever way you want to approach baroque and Gothic wargaming, you'll find a way to do so.

Whilst the core book will cover all of those basics, Planet 28 is also getting expansion content as part of this Kickstarter.

War World One // Mammoth Miniatures

War World One is an introduction to the world of Planet 28. It comes with a history of the world alongside War World specific scenarios where you'll be fighting to scavenge for supplies and fight to survive across a devastated landscape. On War World, "violence isn't just legal, it's the law".

There is also an expansion in the form of Mutants, Mercs and Machines.

Mutants, Mercs and Machines // Mammoth Miniatures

This is another compendium of Planet 28 content with loads of new scenarios, game expansion material, optional rules and character profiles. It brings together loads of content that has been created into a single zine. For example, it comes with pre-made characters so you can just drop into a game quickly.

Another bonus addition unlocked as part of the campaign is S.M.E.G which is another setting guide for playing out scenarios focused on close-quarters adventures in vast and derelict spaceships. You'll find additional items within, weapons, traits, abilities and new character profiles.

The campaign has also unlocked a paper Starter Set and a new art zine, so you'll have some neat ways to dive in and experience Planet 28 but also plunge yourself into the world. I love the art for Planet 28, so it's great to see that in the mix.

You can sink your teeth into all of this right now and explore another fun Sci-Fi skirmish game!
