Welcome, Captain! You have responded to our plea in the nick of time. Our land is under constant threat from Sky Pirates who feel they are above the law (as well as the hills). Our towns will not last much longer if those bandits and allowed to soar. You’re here to stop that though, right? Of course you are. I see you have a mighty fine airship out there. That’ll do nice. Thank you, Captain. Get up there and knock out some bandits.
Sky Dungeon Getting things rolling: Thanks for checking out Sky Dungeon, a steampunk dungeon crawl game. Dungeon flyer game? This free print and play game is yours to do whatever you want with so have some fun. Start off by printing the game file. Once printed cut out the important stuff. All you need to provide are at least three six sided dice, a table and maybe bring some pennies to the game. Map Tiles: 3x3 tiles that will make up your map. I know you shouldn’t define a phrase using words found in the phrase, but if you’re playing a print and play game found on the internet you probably know what a map tile is by now. Tokens: There are plenty of boring looking tokens to cut out to move around the map tiles. If you have fun toys at home that will make better tokens, please use those. Keep piles separated for easy playing. Power Up Roll Chart: Whenever a sky pirate is defeated players roll for bonus goodies taken from the smoldering wreckage of the enemy airship. Consider printing a Power Up Roll Chart for each player, but sharing is caring so everyone can get by with one printed sheet too. This sheet also has item prices for the Armory and Merchant spots. Sky Pirates: The Sky Pirates sheet details your enemy. Each enemy type is different from the next so be sure to reference the sheet when battling.
Step 1: Roll Your Airship 3, 2, 1. The best sequence of numbers that ever, uh, sequenced. It’ll be quite handy for this part of getting the game going. Grab three six sided dice and let’s do some rolling. These rolls will help determine the Hit Points of your airship, the Range of your airship and the number of cannons your airship fires. Roll all 3 to determine your Hit Points Roll 2 to determine your Range
Roll 1 to determine your cannon count. Write the results in the corresponding square of your airship sheet. Each player will received 2 cannon rounds per cannon they have. Take cannon round tokens now. Starting Materials: Players start with cannon rounds as noted above and 10 gold (get pennies or use pencil marks on the airship sheet). In the Damage box of the airship sheet, all players start with 5 damage. This can be upgraded at the Armory for a price.
Step 2: Make the Map The map tiles should be cut out along the bold borders and put in a nice little stack. Players will take turns drawing tiles from the stack to create the map. Clouds symbols: Airships cannot pass through clouds. Too wet and heavy. Placing Sky Pirates: Every map tile will get at least 1 Sky Pirate token placed on it. Map Tiles with 3 cloud symbols or more get 2 pirates. The player that places the tile gets to pick where pirates tokens are put. Sky Pirates tokens: Cut out the Sky Pirate Tokens from the tokens page and jumble them all together. If you have a small box or something to keep them in, that would be awesome. Players will want to select Pirate tokens at random when placing them. Player Tokens: Players can pick their own starting point. It’s the sky. Towns are down below, lots of fields to take off from. Try not to frighten cows. Pick a turn order (Player 1, 2, 3 and 4) and then grab the corresponding token. Put your token where you want it to be. Merchant and Armory Tokens: These are going to be very useful. The group will want to work together to find best placement options. When players move to the tokens (on, not adjacent) they may spend gold to buy items on the Power Up Roll Sheet.
Step 3: Play! Turns have a couple of options. First off, movement. Movement is dictated by the number of squares an airship can move; this is the airship’s Range score. Ships can move to any adjacent square not occupied by a cloud or a sky pirate. Where are you moving? Well, goal one is to destroy all the pirates. Move toward pirates. When adjacent to a pirate you may attack it. Attacking: When adjacent to a Sky Pirate you may attack it. You can opt not to attack an adjacent pirate, but your airship takes damage in this case. How much damage a Sky Pirate deals is found on the Sky Pirate sheet. If you start your turn adjacent to a Sky Pirate, you must either move away (and take damage) or begin combat. Movement cannot be made after combat.
When you choose to engage in combat with a Sky Pirate roll 1 six sided dice. On a result of 1, 2, 3 or 4 you hit the target and deal damage! On a 5 or 6 you miss and the Sky Pirate deals damage to your airship. Ouch. How many times can an attack be made on a turn? Good question! You can fire each cannon once per turn. If you have 5 cannons, you can make 5 attack rolls. Note though that every time you make an attack it costs 1 cannon round. If you have no cannon rounds, try to avoid combat. When you defeat a Sky Pirate collect the bounty and then roll 3 six sided dice. The resulting total is a bonus reward found on the Power Up Roll Sheet. Also keep the token for point tallying later. If you have fired all your cannons, your turn ends and you start the last phase. If you have unused movement, the remaining is forfeit. Power Ups: Power ups are one time use unless (perm) is noted on the Power Up/Price Sheet. They can be used at any time. See the sheet for Power Up specifics. Buy Stuff If you have moved on to a Merchant or Armory token, you can buy stuff. Check the sheet and buy what you need. You cannot own more than one Power Up at once. Sky Pirate Specifics: Sky Pirates move back to full hit points if you end combat before the enemy is destroyed. End of Turn When the cannons are fired and the airship can move no more, the turn is over. Before the next player starts though, move any or all of the remaining Sky Pirates 1 square any direction. Remember, if a player starts their turn adjacent to a Sky Pirate, they must either attack or flee. Give your fellow Sky Pirate Hunters a rough time.
Step 4: Ending the Game When the sky is free from pirate treachery the game ends. Player with the most Sky Pirate tokens before them is the winner.
If a rule doesn’t make sense or is not present, make up a better one. This is your game now. Enjoy! For more steampunk fun, check out my site http://shawncowling.wordpress.com
