Guided Fight: Instructions v1.3 · 31 Oct 2026

1. Your side

• Use the Character Generator's Star takes the character open in the Character Generator in this browser, with its Band (Rep, weapon, Profession and any Attributes written in their notes).
• Load a character file opens a name.5150.json save file.
• Or type in a quick Star: name, Rep, Class, weapon and armour, plus up to four Grunts (Rep and weapon), then press Use this quick Star.

2. Their side

• Choose the Area (it changes who you meet), Day or Night (at night everyone is in Cover), and who: a Class, Police officers, or "Roll it" for the book's Who Are They roll (p.60).
• Roll how many, and make them: ½d6 against your Band (1 = one fewer, 2 = the same, 3 = one more, p.59). Or choose an exact number.
• Each opponent is made with the book's NPC tables: race, Rep, People, Savvy, Profession, weapon and armour (p.60–63). The Leader is rolled with ½d6. Press again for a new group.

3. The fight

• Choose Lethal (guns), Fists only (no shooting; Obviously Dead becomes Out of the Fight), or a Bar fight (fists, bottles and chairs; each figure takes I'm Outta Here instead of Will to Fight; p.53–54). Then set up the Battle Board and untick any Band members who aren't there.
• Where (Known Space p.63–64): Normal, Zero-G (with air), Zero-G in vacuum, Vacuum (gravity, no air) or a Hostile Atmosphere. Anywhere but Normal, the Action, Shooting and Melee tests use Savvy instead of Rep, unless that side is trained (Marines, or 2d6+6 months of training; FOR NOW trained figures also get the +1d6 in Melee for Zero-G experience). Suits: a Space suit counts as Soft Body Armour, a Hard suit as Hard Body Armour (and −1 on the Action table). With no air (or hostile air), anyone without a suit is Obviously Dead, and a torn Skinsuit (Out of the Fight) is Obviously Dead unless a friend Reaches them that turn to patch it. In a Hostile Atmosphere everyone is In Cover; energy weapons get +1 in vacuum and −1 in a Hostile Atmosphere. A Star who uses Star Power with no air is −1 Rep for the rest of the fight.
• Each turn (p.44): the Advantage is rolled; your Leader rolls on the Action table against theirs; the Active side acts; both sides take Will to Fight; then the other side acts and Will to Fight again.
• When one of your figures is Active, choose: Shoot (pick its targets in order, up to its weapon's number), Charge, Reach a friend who's down, Leave the Battle Board, or Hold.
• Every roll for your figures asks you: Roll for me, or type the dice you rolled. The NPCs decide and roll for themselves; it's all in the fight's log.
• When your Star is hurt, choose to roll Star Power (each 1–3 lowers the damage a level; using any costs 3 Decreasing Rep d6) or take the hit. At Will to Fight, your Star can use Free Will to lead your side off.
• The rules it follows, and where the book isn't clear, are as in the Guided Campaign's instructions.
• Your progress is kept in this browser after every button, so you can close the page mid-fight and carry on.

4. Results

• The Rep d6 for your sheet (p.19): +1 Increasing per enemy Out of the Fight or Obviously Dead; −2 for leaving the Battle Board; −3 for using Star Power; −3 per Band member left behind.
• Recovery (p.50) is rolled for each Band member who went down or left. If your Star is Obviously Dead you can Cheat Death (p.22).
• Add the results to your Star in the Character Generator. Rematch fights the same sides again; New opponents keeps your side; New fight starts over.

5. The play log (saving your fights)

Save log (.txt) downloads a plain text file of your fights: both sides (with every NPC's details), every roll turn by turn, and the results and Rep d6. Upload it or paste it anywhere to turn the fight into a blog post or video notes.

• Each finished fight is kept in the log when you start a Rematch, New opponents or a New fight, so one file can hold a whole evening's fights. The fight on screen is added when you save.
• Clear log forgets the earlier fights (the one on screen stays).
