The Swarm: A Trans-Human Skirmish Game
A downloadable Skirmish Game
The Swarm is a tabletop skirmish game in the vein of Kill Team or Infiniti that I've been slowly working on.
It is a low model count game focused on moving individual units around a reasonably sized board to complete objectives and kill enemies in a star system where most of Humanity lives aboard Space Stations of all kinds.
One interesting thing about it, if I ever get the game to go places, is that all the mini's are intended to be 3d printed, provided online through STL files and the like. With 8k resin printers coming onto the market and even the lower resolution ones producing fantastic results, I believe the age of fully 3d printed games has arrived, and I'm hardly the first.
This is not the full game, not even close, it's just a brief primer and the first part of a vertical slice going though setting up a battlefield and the first parts of building a team.
I'm putting this out now because I want to start talking to others about it, and to have other savage what I've made so far, it's the only way to make something actually usable.
So, if by chance you actually download these documents and read through them, first of all, thank you. Second, I want to hear what you thought, especially criticisms.
Drop me a line over on my twitter, and have a good day
