Title: Super Mission Force 2nd ed. Released!
Post by: fourcolorfigs on August 26, 2019, 03:43:18 PM
Hey, folks! I want to announce that SMF 2nd ed. will be available very soon!

The PDF should be available via Drivethru RPG in a day or so, and the print copies will be available from Lulu by the end of next week.

Trade Paperback Version:

Hardcover Dust Jacket Version:

PDF Version:

https://www.drivethrurpg.com/product/286783/Super-Mission-Force-2nd-Ed

We're working on a softcover with a coil binding, but the current cover layout will need to be tweaked before it's ready for release.

Thank you for all of your feedback and support!

The PDF of SMF 2nd ed. is available now:

https://www.drivethrurpg.com/product/286783/Super-Mission-Force-2nd-Ed

I have ordered proofs from Lulu for both the spiral bound softcover and the deluxe dust jacket hardcover. Once I confirm they look good, I will publish the Lulu store links to buy POD copies.

Thanks!

Super Mission Force Print Update
Hey, folks! I got my print proofs in the mail today, and wow! I am blown away by how great the hardcover with dust jacket turned out! I am immediately releasing it for general access. Here's the link: 

http://www.lulu.com/shop/scott-pyle/super-mission-force-2nd-ed-hardcover/hardcover/product-24230801.html

If you buy the hardcover and email me a screen shot of your Lulu receipt, I will send you a free copy of the PDF.

The coil bound also looks great, but the front cover has an issue. The coil binding cuts into the corner piece significantly, and so I want to work with Todd, my layout artist, to fix this before I make the coil available for order.

Hi,

Some questions about the game, please :

If I understand correctly, it's a lighter version of super system ?

is there a campaign system included ? a character creation system ?

Is there rules to destroy environment ?

is there rules for civilians and/or police ?

thank you a lot !

Hi,

Some questions about the game, please :

It's a superhero skirmish game that uses the elements of the Goalsystem, but it's not SuperSystem Lite. That said, it plays faster than SS4.

Quote
is there a campaign system included ? a character creation system ?

Yes and yes. Chargen is based off archetype and menu selection. No number crunching or points to spend.

Quote
Is there rules to destroy environment ?

Yes.

Quote
is there rules for civilians and/or police ?

Yes. Police and Civilians are covered by the Henchmen and Scenario rules.

thank you a lot !

My pleasure! Anything else comes to mind, let me know!

Just wanted to throw out a quick thank you. I looked previously and could not find a system like this and couldn't find one. I do not like the new Marvel game coming out, minis are odd size and the price/play of the Knights Models games are not for me - plus I hear there figures are a pain to put togther. I have a bunch of Heroclix, but I am not a huge fan of the play, but my son and I are huge comic fans. Bought the POD this week and can not wait to try this out.

Ordered my copy, but had to settle for the soft back,
Postage to the UK was more than the cost of the book because
the hardback is only sent from their US hub.

That's a bummer. If you decide you want another copy, I can always ship you one. Thanks for letting us know that--it's something I was unaware of.

What has changed from smf1 to smf2? Can I still use my regenerated characters from the various sites?

Thanks
Jim

Most of your characters should still be fine. The Archer is its own new archetype now. Sorcerer became Controller, and added the option for a major version of the Telekinesis power. We made the three Boosts into minor powers that can be taken by any archetype--so that's functionally the same.

We added a major version of Resistance for Bricks so they can choose a more defensive option should they want it.

Let me know if you have specific questions.

Here's a guide for the changes between editions:

https://app.box.com/s/i1htx970fgm3fqsazs3iyk0dpn14jjz1

And if you just want to read them here:

SMF 1st Ed. to 2nd Ed. Changes
There were a few changes between editions. We lay them out below.

* Archer is now its own independent Archetype.

* Construct is now its own archetype, and the Construct minor power is replaced by the Soulless major power.

* We renamed the Sorcerer archetype to Controller, and Controller now can choose between Power Pool (see below) and Telekinesis as its major powers.

* We added the Paragon archetype to model truly mighty characters.

* We changed some of the power selections for the Metamorph (Elasticity) power packages to make them logically follow the existing minor powers, and give them more variation.

* The Sorcery major power became Power Pool.

* We added the Force Blasts power (major and minor). 

* We added major power versions of Resistance (for Brick) and Telekinesis (for Controller).

* We made the three Boosts (Clever, Fast, and Tough) into minor powers that can be taken by any archetype. This is just like the way Amphibious works. 

* We added a Hinder minor power to model weather / environmental effects.

* We added a minor version of the Healing power.

* We edited some of the mechanics of the Shield minor power. 

* We added maneuvers for Archer and Paragon, and for the Brick maneuvers, swapped out Way Outta Here for That All You Got.

 * We added the Wild background as an option for all archetypes.

* We added a short RPG plug-in for folks who want to use SMF as a tabletop role-play game.

SO STOKED.  Is the spiral bound an option still?  I may have missed the link above.  Thanks, Scott.  THE super hero skirmish game just got even better.

Just ordered from lulu.  Take a look at some of the figs I'll be using to play on my miniatures post.  More getting painted now.  I'll be sure to add them and pictures of them in an SMF game as well.  I'm working on a Joker conversion at the moment.  His henchmen group(s) will be next.  Watch out for that joy buzzer! lol
