Introduction and offer

[WonderAlex]

Hello Starfire fans,

I'm obviously new here and wasn't expecting to see an active community around this game. Nice surprise really.

I played this game once in the 1990s and quickly purchased Starfire and Imperial Starfire in order to play again with my friends online using a play-by-email system one of the others figured out. After an initial setup; we never touched it again (life, school... you know the story) and I could never get others to play it (they preferred other, simpler 4x boardgames that shall remain unnamed)

Now before I go on - I'd like to know if it's appropriate to post an offer on this forum.

If not let me know where; couldn't see a dedicated forum section.

Feel free to post the relevant info here. You can also use the discord and voice channels we have there. If needed, feel free to post in the starfire admin channel to request a dedicated campaign channel on teh SF discord.

I would recommend only passing emails via direct messages, however, just in case.

Thanks, but I'm not really interested in starting a campaign again.

You see, I need to make room in my game collection, and since I haven't opened the box in 20 years, I think it's time to let it go.

So I'm looking for a good home for this game. I've tried selling it on various platforms over the past few years to no luck, so I figured maybe there are enthusiasts somewhere who might be interested, and lo-and-behold I found this forum (and new versions of StarFire.)

The boxes are in near-pristine condition (Starfire-6001- and Imperial Starfire-6003); most of the cardboard pieces are still within their sheets and there's even a copy of Sky Marshal #1 in there. My old game notes are in there too, but I'll take those out, I'm sure most of you would design better ships in your sleep.

Let me know if this is still ok.

Wow I was going to say welcome back, but if you are looking for a good home for Starfire materials then I'm sure someone would be interested. The physical products produced by Task Force Games aren't available any more, so we have no problem with your offering them to one of our players. Forum messages and/or using the "send email to user" feature can be used to make final arrangements so neither you or the interested party have to post your addresses or anything here in the forum (in fact, please DON'T do that).

[WonderAlex]

Good to know.

Yeah, can't find anyone playing in my neck of the woods (stopped trying 20 years ago) and my current circle of gaming friends (and my kids) aren't interested in these kinds of games... {old gamer sigh}.

I know it's a collector's item and part of me wants to keep them (especially now that minis are available), but it pains me when games I own never get off the shelf and on to the table.

That said - anyone interested - please contact me directly through the forum using a private message. If you have questions about the contents or would like to see pictures let me know on this thread.

I won't post a cost, that can be discussed privately. Also, I'm open to trade for those into that.

No problem.

For reference, the rules are still available in electronic format. It's the physical box, map, and counters from that product that are not available now.

When you do sell it, please let us know.

P.S. If you are still interested in the miniatures, we have a free "Quick Start Rules for Miniatures" available that you can download and try. The best place to get it is from War Game Vault at https://www.wargamevault.com/product/21 ... Miniatures

I could use a fresh set of counters and maps...

We do have counters available through our website, and you can get the original SF1 maps through Amarillo Design Bureau's website. But any hex-based map will do and there are a number of options for those through Amazon. My favorites all come from the Chessex company, like their vinyl roll-up map in tan or black.
