“M’lord Grand Admiral, Sir?!”
Yes? What is it now?!”
“This just in from Intel Branch, M’lord! Assets report a heavy freighter, Narwhal class jumped out of the Dallas-Fort Worth system. Analyses of their vector places the ship on a direct course for our system, with an ETA of about 36 hours! Assets also reported that a short transmission was made in the clear just before the ship entered hyperspace. The transcript provided by Intel says that the message was ‘As three is to one.’ Intel chief told me that you would understand it’s meaning… Shall I alert the defense grid?”
“Yes! Make sure that our fighter patrols are doubled, and that they know not to open fire on this ship, but to assume a prompt close escort around it and bring it here directly!”
“M’lord?”
“You heard me! Now get moving, Leftenant! Get those instructions out by a secure channel, and fast so some trigger-happy glory-seeker doesn’t blast that ship into isotopes! We need what it is carrying, and we need it yesterday! Now MOVE!”
“Aye-aye, Sir!”
Holy Heck, Silent Death is a thing again? I randomly got a pang of nostalgia for one of the first minifig wargames I ever played, went to see if someone had maybe ported it to Tabletop Simulator, and the Wikipedia page suggested it was still in production and linked here. Not only that, but you posted less than 48 hours ago. I’m shocked, to say the least.
I have an old starter set lying around somewhere that I used to drag around to local game stores and eventually college, to try to get people to play. Are people still playing this? I have so many questions. Now if you’ll excuse me, I need to devour this entire site.
Welcome, StrangeQuark!
Silent Death is indeed very much alive, if reduced. As I’m sure you’ve noticed we sell the minis (with more to to come… stay tuned!), and the books are available via RPGNow. Enjoy!
I just bought the several books from RPGnow and am getting ready to put my deluxe edition box set (ships/torps/missles still on sprue) out on the table to demo with friends. After, I Hope to then be able to demo at FLGS. Here’s hoping it goes well…
