Battlestation Advanced Rulebook is the full rulebook for Battlestations Second edition, expanding upon the rules and options found in the Battlestations board game.
Battlestations is the game of heroic spaceship combat, designed for 1 - many players. You play characters of varying races and abilities, running around on your starship, using those battlestations to accomplish tasks to move your ship around on a space map and accomplish your mission. It can be played cooperatively, but the "normal" version has one person being the GM/overlord/mastermind/etc and the others playing crew.
The basic rules can pretty much be boiled down to (2d6+appropriate skill) vs target number. Anyone can roll against any skill, but Professionals get rerolls for rolls using their appropriate skill (Marines use Combat, Engineers use Engineering, Pilots use Piloting, and Scientists use Science). Your engineers run around gettting "more power out of the engines", and repairing damaged modules. Marines fi...

Such a great book.
Originally all these NPCs were cards for the Rage card game. As this book was released after several expansions of that ccg, there are garou of every rank, many fera, all sorts of wyrm minions for you use.
The background on every NPC is brief (about as much as seen in any Rage Across... book) but descriptive enough to be easily slid into a campaign. Great book for needing a antagonist quick and on the fly, here you go: rank 4 Silver Fang braggert, easy; a BSD pack to harass the PCs, no problem, got enough for two packs; Pentex First Team - this book has it all.
On the downside: this is a 2nd edition book, some Gift choices were not present back then, and some skills existed that don't now (w20th edition); also sometimes the written background doesn't seem to match whatever the person giving stats had in mind - the Gifts / skills of the NPC seem to be missing essential assets (character is a healer of note, but has no healing skills/rites)(character is know...

What can I say about this? The deck is lovely at all levels. Gorgeous art, well printed, presented in a fine tuck box, a fantastic deal for a very nice tarot, whether you use it for **Mage: The Awakening** or not, it is worth the money.
Two criticisms: First is that the 'insert' for the rules isn't available to buy in PoD, but know that I do understand the limitations of such. Second is that the insert only covers the major arcana, which makes the fact that I already own the **Keys to the Supernal Tarot** (available separately from this same site) all the more important. Note that you WILL want that book, too, in order to get the most out of this deck in a game, but it's not necessary by any means.
The above notwithstanding, I cannot say enough about how great this deck is. Very pleased....
