Necromunda Outlanders Community Edition OCE 2021

[Anthony]

Anthony submitted a new resource:

Outlanders Community Edition - Outlanders Community Edition

The OCE is based on the Necromunda: Outlanders supplement published in 1996. It also includes The Heist scenario and Pit Slave Gang rules from White Dwarf. OCE is not an attempt to overhaul or hugely expand the Necromunda game, instead it should be seen as a fan update to an already solid set of rules.

The main aims are to balance the variety of Outlander gangs using minimal rewrites where possible and to fully incorporate the NCE ruleset. Also to clarify ambiguities, patch up rule holes and...

Wow,
Our club was just discussing which version to use for our upcoming campaign and the lack of Outlanders for NCE was a sticking point. This will make the discussion much more interesting.

Anyone care to try and sell me on why I should use NCE and NCE outlanders over the other versions?

 

[trollmeat]

Why would we try to sell you the latest rules, with modifications suggested by the active denizens of the underhive community from all over the planet, when they are free to download?

 

[Gorkamunda]

As @trollmeat points out - these are the result of yaktribe user suggestions to rules changes and clarifications. You can find the thread in question i the Rules section of the necromunda forums here on yaktribe.

Just wondering where to find the rules for an Autoslugger? It's listed in the special weapons for several outlander gangs but rules are not in either NCE or OCE.

 

[zo1337]

The autoslugger rules are in my version of the NCE. On page 41, under "special weapons."

 

[natsirtm]

where do I get that - the one listed on yaktribe seems to still be Anthony's. shouldn't they be consistent if they are going to refer to each other?

 

[natsirtm]

NEVER mind - i see what you are saying now. I must have an out of date version saved to my google drive

The rulesets are updated periodically by Anthony. Anyone who updates a resource in the vault can simply update the existing entry rather than upload a load of separate files. Keep an eye out for notifications in the NCE thread, or have a look at the version history of a resource in the vault by selecting the version history tab when viewing the file's details.

 

[natsirtm]

Yep I didn't realize it was a "living" rulebook now. I had an old version saved in my google drive which obviously was out of date.

Just encountered these little errors while browsing:

Page 44:
" ettlers and who commands their clandestine help. Only the words of a Redemptor can fire the fury in men's hearts or save unbelievers frorn their sinful existence"

I seems to be missing page 30. im going to download again and see if this is still true

I would guess its an artwork page, but maybe someone with the physical book could clarify for us (@Gorkamunda am I right in thinking you have the book from a trade ages ago?, and chance you are able to resolve what is on that page?)

Outlanders doesn't look like it lines up like NCE does.. doesn't matter now. I didn't realize until I printed out the PDF

I'm away atm, but I'll check it out once I get home tomorrow

We've noticed that the Spyrers no longer have Max stats, they're also missing the Matriarh & Patriarch as well as the missions included in the LRB version. Can someone help? Can we update the NCE to include these?

In case this is still in any doubt, I can confirm that the pages of OCE have no relation to the original. Outlanders p. 30 has Scavvy advances.

Spyrers start with basic human stats (plus suit boosts), so I assume they have the same max stats as everyone else.

The other bits were never in the original Outlanders, so I guess they were beyond the remit of OCE. I assume this means you can't use the Matriarch/Patriarch with OCE rules, though I don't see any reason why you can't use the scenarios if the people you're playing with are happy to.

 

[Zepherus13]

But in both the Outlanders ORB and the Spyrer LRB; each character has different Max stats. (due to their different suits) These vanish in the OCE.

I would be nice to add them back in to stop confusion. And seeing as there are the rules & models around; it would be nice to add in the matriarch & Patriarch as well.

It doesnt seem fair to tell everyone in our group that these (NCE/OCE) are the rules we are using, except the Spyrer gang because the LRB version seems more complete...

(imo, matriarch & patriarch go against the whole "go survive&kill some scum and don't come back until you've proven yourselves" thing)
