Grav Bike Racing

[Steven Short]

I’m currently writing some rules for Grav Bike Racing. The rules should be ready for try out soon, but to get ready here’s the bikes for the racing.

Not my best painting, but they will do for racing, and probably pop up in some of my other sci-fi games.

Serendipity!   I was just looking at the variety of grav bikes at Alternative Armies, and thinking it would be fun to try such a project.  I was thinking of adapting “Fastus Furious”, a chariot racing game, or a set of specific grav bike rules I bought long ago called “Future Race”.

I wasn’t aware of GZG’s line. They look really good!  There’s also Ramshackle’s range of modular bikes, and I must admit they also look tempting.

I’m curious to see more of your project.

Hopefully I can get the rules up in a couple of weeks after a few playtests to check there are no major flaws. I’ve written them for 15mm, but I think by doubling the sizes they should suit 28mm, such as Ramshackle, as well as GW.

Sounds like a hoot!  Back in 2016 I saw a pod racing game at Adepticon in Chicago and it looked like a really good time too.  Something fun about zipping around at high speed and trying to avoid disasters, miscreant opponents and still take 1st place…

I had my first trial run at the game last night, and here are the results.
