Legends of Kalidasia


User Uploaded Image


Back in Season 2/Episode 1 of the Tabletop Battlefield, I(Jason) issued the challenge of rewriting the rules for I game I didn't really enjoy. We chose to take on Star Wars Pocket Model. Though to avoid any legal issues, I am just going to build an abstract space combat game from the ground up in my own universe.

The game has come a along way since then, including a name change. With the Alpha 3 rules just about done, I'm looking to get back to play testing.

For the review of Star Wars Pocket Model: Go Here

On Season 2 Episode 11 of the Tabletop Battlefield, we first discussed the alpha rule set of the game.

Season 3 Episode 13 Saw the discussion of the 2nd Alpha Ruleset.

Finished and posted the token for the Heragul Frigate


Heragul Destroyer and Short Film Coming Soon
Dec 02 2009 [Link]

Today I finished up the token for the Heragul Destroyer. Only one more capital ship and four fighters left in the initial batch of ships.

On a related note, I recently entered a short film based on the Legends of Kalidasia Modern Timeline in my schools Film Festival. I took "Best Special Effects" and was nominated for "Best Costumes" thanks to ground and space battle scenes as well as the CGI aliens. Titled "Children of the Krylan: Carina's Journal", it introduces the Krylan Race, the Cothguard Race, and Humanity into the universe of Legends of Kalidasia. Both the Krylan and Cothguard will be appearing in the Tabletop Game at some point in the future.


First Beta Token Artwork Released
Oct 09 2009 [Link]

With the Alpha 3 version of the rules almost done, I have started working on the final artwork for the game. Today I posted the game tokens for the Surakari Frigate and Surakari Destroyer. These are not the final images. Currently they are missing their weapons. I'll be adding the weapons once the final armaments of the ships have been determined.

More importantly, I have decided on the size of the tokens. All the ships will be designed to fit onto Games Workshop Warhammer Fantasy Bases. I made this decision because during play testing, the cardboard ship counters tended to move around quite a bit.


First Concept Artwork Items Posted
Apr 06 2009 [Link]

I just posted concept art for the eight craft that will appear in the basic starter set.

I have also play tested several games and have already made several changes to the rules which bring the style of play in line with the vision I had for the game.


Concept Art Coming Soon and Internal Play Testing Starting Today
Apr 03 2009 [Link]

In the next few days I will be posting some concept art sketches of the first batch of Surakari and Hergaul Warships.

Also, the internal play testing of the Alpha 2 Rules will begin. Quite a bit has changed since the game's debut on The Tabletop Battlefield, but the focus is still on ship control instead of movement.

I certainly do not have a release date set, but the plan is to release a free version of the starter set as well as a premium version.


Finishing up Alpha Version 2 of the Rules
Jan 02 2009 [Link]

Over the past few months, I have been writing the second version of the rules. I recently finished then up and once I produce some stat cards I will be ready to run another test of the rules.

Unlike the first set which was an abstract space combat game, this version of the rules is more of a miniature game.

Hopefully I get to play test the rules in the next couple of weeks.
