RESOURCE
Starcraft is more than simply a game of battle-strategy. To overcome
their enemeies, players must manage a myriad of resources, harvesting
raw materials, assigning tasks to units, and deciding which structures
to build.
Starcraft D6 is mainly about story-telling and the adventures of individual
characters. However, to import some of the “feel” of the original
game, GM’s may decide to make resource harvesting and management part of
the players’ experience.
In the computer game, raw resources are represented by minerals and
Vespene gas. Players build harvesting units and processing centers
to turn the natural resources into new units, structures and upgrades.
Wise resource management is essential to winning the game.
Resources Defined
In Starcraft D6, “resources” include not only minerals and Vespene
gas, but processed raw materials, manufactured products, and other natural
resources--essentially anything that will be helpful to the production
of a base. All of these resources are pooled together as Resource
Points.
Various units, structures and upgrades will have Resource Point costs.
The Resource costs given in this game are approximations of the total resource
requirement in the game (to roughly convert the cost of a unit, structure,
or upgrade in the computer game to this one, add up the total Vespene and
mineral requirements, divide by 100, and round up or down depending on
the amount of time it takes to produce the unit in the computer game).
Awarding Resource Points
GM's will generally allocate Resource Points at the end of each gaming
session. RP's may either be allocated to individual players or to
the team as a whole. As the players collect Resource Points, they
must decide how to best allocate the RP’s to help their base. This
gives the players an interest in the allocation of resources for their
base and forces them to work together to expand a base's capabilities.
General Resource Point rewards are given below:
-
2 RP/session for a each fully operational and actively harvested Vespene
Refinery.
-
2 RP/session for each actively mined Mineral Field.
-
1 RP per 100 metric tons of raw materials captured or discovered (hijacked
cargo vessel, captured enemy base, etc.).
-
1 to 2 RP if players successful increase the efficiency of a base's harvesting
or operations.
-
Additional RP's as the GM sees fit for successful actions by the players.
Characters may capture the bases, vehicles or other resources of an enemy
and convert those into Resource Points.
Conversely, characters may lose RP's for failed actions, surprise enemy
attacks and other setbacks.
