I’ve just got started with Beyond the Gates of Antares and thought I’d share a list of links that helped me get informed, immersed and excited about the universe. The QR Code below will back to this page, so if you do a demo or somone in your FLGS shows an interest in the game why not ask them to scan the code off your phone, or a print out.
Beyond the gates of antares is a 28mm Sci-Fi wargame originally created by Rick Priestly with Warlord Games, that is now available in a free second edition maintained on a hobby basis by Rick Priestly and Tim Bancroft on this, the official site, with official miniatures available from Skytrex.
