Compendium - October 2021
Added 2021-10-01 14:01:06 +0000 UTCAs promised last month, just the one compendium, this month, showing all the available content - but some of it will be links to locked content if you're not the right patron level!
Later today, I will unlock one Rule of the Month per month to Elites, starting with the Rule of the Month from May: "capture" rules to allow heroes to tie up vulnerable enemies to stop them interfering with the plan or from raising the alarm.
I will unlock one Mission of the Month per month to Heavy Elites, starting with Publicity Stunt, in which the heroes are forced to perform acts of drama and derring-do for the hungry cameras of their media overlords.
Free Rules & Discount Codes!
Most people are here for tabletop wargames content, so these links are for you:
Horizon Wars: Infinite Dark (beta)
Horizon Wars: Infinite Dark is a spaceship combat game built upon mechanics familiar from Horizon Wars (currently OOP) and Horizon Wars: Zero Dark. The book was published in May 2021 and if you want to buy the finished version, you can get your discount code from the link below:
ELITE - 30% OFF
HEAVY ELITE - 40% OFF
DEFENCE MECH & COMBAT MECH - 50% OFF
And there's more! If you are in financial straits, or if you have a friend who would love to play any Precinct Omega game, but is facing hardship for any reason, message me. I have a range of special discounts available for supporters on all my products that I will happily share around.
I dropped Blood & A Black Flag onto Wargame Vault in September and it's doing OK. Patrons have discount codes available:
ELITES - 30% OFF
HEAVY ELITES - 50% OFF
DEFENCE & COMBAT MECH - 100% OFF
There are discounts available for lower tier patrons if they want one - just PM me!
Most of us have some grimdark sci-fi minis sitting around, somewhere. These rules are a bit of a fun project for me that I work on when I need a break from more commercially-demanding things. Currently, the rules cover inquisitorial-style kill teams and posthuman starmarines. In due course there will also be rules for more divergent phenotypes within the human clade, such as the Robusti and the Graceful, as well as Bits, Hogres and Warfs.
This is very much a working title for a slow project I work on in honour of Star Wars Day. The link is to the latest update, which has links to previous ones.
If you love the original Horizon Wars battle game or are a new player of the Strato Minis release, Hardwar, based on the same rules, you might like this one-player-one-mech supplement to pit your skills against up to three friends in a brutal, last-mech-standing fight to the death! I've recently released these Patreon-exclusive rules to the general public, so I'll be looking to update and finetune these rules soon for patrons.
Rule of the Month
Heavy Elites and Mechs have access to all the Rules of the Month so far released, with the rules gradually unlocking, now, for Elites.
Capture rules - UNLOCKED FOR ELITES - Get some zip-ties on those down bogeys.
Non-lethal munitions - NOW UNLOCKED FOR ELITES - Can you finish a mission with no one dead?
Spooks - New options for everyone's least favourite specialist, and new gadget options!
XJays - expeditionary journalists are heroes in their own right
Ghosts - a new ally choice to buff your sniper heroes
Mission of the Month
You can access a database of Missions of the Month by upgrading to Defence Mech status.
Publicity Stunt - UNLOCKED FOR HEAVY ELITES - The heroes are forced to be performing monkeys in front of the cameras to keep the support of the taxpayers back home.
Honey Trap - NOW UNLOCKED FOR HEAVY ELITES - Infiltrating your own facility is only made harder when you aren't supposed to kill anyone.
Catch the Pigeon - Hunting down an on-the-run spy - but can you persuade them to come quietly?
Candy From a Baby - This mission has the heroes going back into their own facility to kidnap a suspected traitor.
The Tower - A standalone mission based on a proposal by patron Sascha Stand, which sees heroes fight their way across four storeys to rescue a captive and escape from the roof! (Did anyone notice that I accidentally unlocked this for all patrons last month? No? Well, too late - it's back to Mechs only!)
Abandon Hope - It's time to cause some chaos! Break into an enemy interrogation facility to rescue a captive before they can give up their secrets.
Merch
I still have a handful of Precinct Omega notebooks left! They are £8.00 + VAT + P&P. If you're outside the UK, I won't charge VAT, but you'll be liable to pay it on delivery (although there's a good chance they won't bother because it's such a small-value item). UK VAT is 20%, so the total for UK patrons is £9.60; UK P&P is £2.45, so it will be £12.05 all-in. Outside the UK, P&P will be charged at cost.
I will also - unless you specifically ask me not to - graffiti a Zero Dark character design or an Infinite Dark ship+pilot design in your notebook along with a scribbled illustration.
First come, first served.
The Teemill store for Precinct Omega T-shirts is now open for general access. You can see some of the shirt designs in my videos. Teemill uses only responsibly-sourced organic cotton and prints the shirts in the UK.
Zero Dark Miniatures Development
The four initial designs are now finished, for Kurtz, Abdalla, Ngana and KB3. Hopefully, I'll be able to show you the resin masters very soon, and push ahead with manufacturing. But with the price of white metal spiking, I'm revisiting the viability of that material.
Mission Reports
I'm still keen to get reports from players of any Precinct Omega game. I swear, I'm going to have to start writing them myself...
Horizon Wars: Zero Dark 2021 Compendium - Pushed back to 2022
As I've not had enough interest to publish this year, I'll be pushing this back to next year in the hope that I'll have enough time to drive participation.
Anything Else?
If the veteran patrons can think of anything else in the history I should pull out for monthly refreshment, let me know in the comments. I'll update next month's compendium on the basis of your feedback and anything new that's fallen out for patron consumption.
