Good Day All,
Well I met Kain at GenCon while play testing my new Sci-fi mini’s game. I have been gaming as far back as I can remember back when I was younger and slimmer. I have played all kinds such as games through out my life and will probably play them till I’m nice ripe old geek. As I say “I will grow old but may never grow up!”
As for my game Cyprian Rift: Warships…..
Cyprian Rift: Warships is an action packed sci-fi miniatures game where you engage in quick deadly battles involving corvettes, frigates, destroyers and cruisers. You take command of a task force of warships to run covert shadow missions thru the Cyprian Rift. You goal is to survive the run thru the rift so you can explore the mysterious pocket universe beyond which is filled with dead worlds and ancient lost technologies.
Most encounters take place within the rift which is bizarre and unpredictable place that is filled with Spatial Phenomenon’s that create obstacles and obstructions. These events can hinder your tactics or tip the battle in to your favor. In additional to add another layer of depth player can use Tactical cards that represent those special opportunities which present themselves during combat. Tactical cards can be used to perform daring actions, specialized attacks, or bold maneuvers.
In addition each warship has a Modular System Compartments which are a revolution way of retrofitting ships so they can be customized, modified and upgraded quickly. Modular systems provide versatility to warships allowing them to be custom equipped with a variety of different systems.
The Tactical Cards, Modular System Compartments and Spatial Phenomenon’s add depth and verity to each game. No two battles will be the same with the way you utilize these components of the game.
I am cleaning up the rule and will be doing next round of play testing shortly. I am hoping to get the updates done by October/November time frame. So if anyone is interested in trying something new and wish to play test contact me.

Hello, er Hawkfire(?)
My name is Matthew Borgeson. You can read my intro and a few posts here to learn a bit more about me.
I was wondering if there was a role playing aspect to this game. With the goal of getting to the rift to explore as your minis game premise, you could allow the players do stuff once their characters get there, so that even if they lost the battle, they could whip out their characters and explore after the actual minis combat was over.
That would be a nice integrated system, that would allow scaling from individual characters up and down to and from minis combat.
Just a thought-

Yes my game has 3-4 parts I wish to develop. The initial game starts with the Sci-fi mini then expands out with the rest of the game. I have the core story line hammered out.
Cyprian Rift: Warships
Cyprian Rift: Capital Ships
Cyprian Rift: Campaign and Conflicts
Cyprian Rift: RPG
Also looking at other supplements about the history, background, economics, races, and etc.

UPDATE 30 Second Intro...........
Cyprian Rift: Warships is an action packed starship miniatures game!
As commander you take charge of your task force of Corvettes, Frigates, Destroyers, and Cruisers to run covert shadow missions thru the Cyprian Rift. Those bold enough to enter the precarious rift have the chance to explore the mysterious pocket universe that lay beyond.
Mysterious dead worlds and lost ancient technology abound in the pocket universe, ripe for the picking. However, yours isn’t the only Faction intent on the prize! You must battle your way through enemy ships intent on your destruction while traversing a bizarre and unpredictable maze of conduits filled with incomprehensible galactic events, obstacles, and obstructions that will challenge your tactical genius every step of the way.
In the Cyprian Rift is where your Legacy will begin…or where your name will be forgotten; another insignificant casualty to the galactic battle for power. Do you have what it takes to enter the rift? More importantly, do you have what it takes to survive!?
Cyprian Rift: Warships is a tactical miniatures game that incorporates starship miniatures, hexgrid gameboard, dice, and various card decks. Fleets are custom designed by using Modular System Compartments which are a revolution way of retrofitting ships so they can be modified and upgraded quickly with a variety of different systems and equipment. Each ship can be customized as you like, the choice is yours! Players use their tactical skills by maneuvering their ships and using their abilities to outclass and destroy their opponents or by completing challenging missions before their enemies can. Tactical cards can be used to perform daring actions, specialized attacks, or bold maneuvers while Spatial Phenomenon’s add depth and variety to each game.
No two games of Cyprian Rift: Warships will ever be the same!
