What is Strike Legion?
Strike Legion is a pen and paper science fiction roleplaying game set in the future where the mighty Imperium fights the Star Republic for domination of the universe. The Imperium encompasses millions of worlds with uncountable numbers of subjugated humans. The Star Republic is a union of different sentient species that fight for their right to peace and progress. The Imperium swarms its enemies with endless hordes of ships while the Republic is defended by the Fleet with its small fleets of powerful and advanced battleships. The Imperium seems unstoppable as each new wave of Imperial ships depletes Fleet resources to the breaking point.
In comes the Strike Legion to the rescue. Each Legionnaire is equal to an army of regular soldiers and it is their job to enter Imperial space and destroy the Imperial war machine from within. They can do what an entire fleet of ships or an army of regular troops could never accomplish. To win the war, the Legion must prevail but the Imperium creates new and more powerful ways to defeat them everyday.
This game can be best described as superhuman spies and warriors fighting against an evil empire that wants to conquer the entire universe. Legionnaires fight hand to hand, suited in power armor, flying advanced spacecraft, or piloting massive battle machines known as mobile frames.
Concise Roleplaying
We all live in a hectic world with incredible responsibilities including family, friends, and work. If you ever wanted a game designed for your busy lifestyle this is the game for you. Each mission is designed to be finished in a single game session and all the players share the responsibility for what used to be the job of the gamemaster. Players take turns writing the mission for each game night that must tell a story and have a great ending so everyone leaves happy. Every game session is designed to represent a tightly written science fiction television episode or movie. All the tools you will need to write your mission will be provided in the game including idea hooks and scene starters.
Game Mechanics
Strike Legion uses a streamlined D10 system for all action resolution. The difficulty of an action determines the result required for a test. A player rolls a D10 and multiplies the result by the lowest character trait required for the test. If a player rolls a 10, she can roll again and add its result before the trait multiplier is applied. This system means that any character has a chance of passing any task and even a Legionnaire can fail at a task with a bad die roll.
Combat resolution is fast and strategic. Every combatant is represented by a token on the battlefield. These tokens are moved around the table and the distance between them is their range. Every combatant has a Defense rating which is the roll required by an attacker to hit him. If a successful attack is made, the damage of the weapon is multiplied by the attacker's skill rating before its applied. Any Attack roll of 10 deals double damage. This system allows a weapon master to deal unimaginable amounts of damage with the simplest weapon.
What makes the Strike Legion special?
Strike Legion was designed to play without a gamemaster. Players take turn writing missions for their group that describes what happens during a mission in a cinematic way. Players take turns playing the role of the enemy for each encounter. Game play is designed to be fast with each mission representing a thirty minute television episode. Relive the excitement you felt watching your favorite science fiction television show with all its twists and turns and exciting finale. Strike Legion will provide you with all the tools you need to make thrilling and unique missions.
What makes Strike Legion fun?
The power structure of the Imperium is broken into factions known as Enclaves so that no one can ever be as powerful as the Empress.
