  • Space Combat Demo
    Welcome to Diaspora – Diaspora is a self-contained role-playing game, building on FATE (and particularly Spirit of the Century). It’s a game about the future, with humanity scattered through the stars living in clusters of six to ten systems, making do in a hostile universe. FTL travel is challenging, and reaction drives push large ships between planets, draining reaction mass, and avoiding dangers along the way. Diaspora is about stories, and is designed as a toolkit to facilitate telling hard(ish) SF stories at your game table. You build the setting of a cluster of systems, and then you inhabit it with your characters. It comes with a series of minigames – none of which need to be used, but which provide mechani- cal means to determine outcomes to stories that are in the process of being told. One chapter describes personal combat, and has a gritty feel, because shooting things with a shotgun in a spacesuit can be fun. Another makes social combat into a tactical game – so that players make strategic decisions about how they behave at a cocktail party, or when being tortured in other ways. A third minigame allows platoon combat, because sometimes a story needs a good hovertank battle. Finally, there is space combat, which we have included here as a sample chapter. Space Combat in Diaspora is abstracted: a one-dimensional map tracks rival vectors of a few fragile ships blazing away at each other. It’s also lethal, as it should be, and military and technically superior ships have an easier time.
