G.A.S.L.I.G.H.T. Quick Start

We developed G.A.S.L.I.G.H.T. over several years, first the basic rules and then a number of expansions. We worked hard to ensure that the systems and rules between the various G.A.S.L.I.G.H.T. books were consistent. We found that many players picked rules from the various books in a “Chinese menu” manner to customize their G.A.S.L.I.G.H.T. games to their liking. After ten years, we decided to release The G.A.S.L.I.G.H.T. Compendium. To support the way G.A.S.L.I.G.H.T. players customized their own gaming experience, we organized The Compendium topically: activation and command and control in one section, with rules from all the books related to that topic together. It was later pointed out that while this approach was good for G.A.S.L.I.G.H.T. aficionados, the approach was difficult to newcomers to the game. We were told that this makes it hard for someone new to G.A.S.L.I.G.H.T. to pick up the game from The Compendium. This quick-start guide is meant to address that shortcoming and facilitate joining the G.A.S.L.I.G.H.T. family. This booklet is meant to cover just the basics while providing pointers into The Compendium.
