Super Mission Force Survey
« on: December 27, 2018, 02:15:28 PM »
Hey folks, I am trying to gather some info on what folks want (or prefer) for the revised ed. of SMF. I am thinking of releasing it later in 2019.

Anyway, do folks prefer a spiral bound, perfect bound, hard cover, etc.?  With Lulu I can release  multiple formats.

Also, what about the size? Digest? Classic  8.5" x 11"? Some other size?

Finally, would folks support a Kickstarter/Indiegogo to help pay production costs? This would not be very involved--it would just be for the book, and maybe some dice as a sweetener if I can find a new production source.

Anyway, share your thoughts!

If only one option, hardcover for me.

I like the size format of the current book, which is around A5 in the UK, and is my preferred skirmish gaming book size.

Kickstarter of the two, but happy to back on either of those platforms. :)

Good luck with this Scott. :)

Hardcover A5 for me and I'd back a kickstarter, but only if its EU friendly. Its customs charges not the shipping that hurts.

Spiral bound, so it can stay open on the table top; 8.5" by 11" format.

Would support a Kickstarter campaign only if it's the only way to get the project done.

I like the spiral bound in the size it already comes in. Would be open to a kickstarter.

Spiral bound is an attractive option but the paper and cover weight needs to be heavy enough to account for it. A KS for the book and custom dice would also be of interest.

I love the spiral bound, half-sized book I have now.  I'd buy the same again in a flash.

I prefer hardback but spiral bound would be a close second.

I'd be interested in custom dice too.

Hi Scott.

I have the square-bound, digest size; and TBH, with all the SMF gaming I do, I'd prefer spiral-bound and probably 8.5" x 11". I know the rules well enough by now that I'm not constantly referencing the book, but it would be nice to be able to leave it open to something I need without bending the spine.

How much of a revision is it going to be?

Nothing radical! Just adding one or two new archetypes, making the Archer its own archetype. Adding a couple new powers.

Thanks!

I'd also be interested in a spiral bound, PDF, and dice.  Looking forward to the new edition.

Scott,  I really like the spiral bound digest size.  Very handy at the table top during game play--takes up less room, easy to keep open/lay flat.  Finally, I find the spirals to be quite sturdy in terms of torn pages, etc.  2nd choice would be hardback.

As for kickstarter, you bet!  I am all about supporting SS/SMF.  You and I apparently have similar tastes in gaming.  I think SS and SMF are the best super-hero games I've ever come across.

I would be totally down for a Kickstarter. Dice would be nice, but it’s not a deal breaker. As for size, I kind of like the 8.5” x 11” in a spiral-bound or perfect bound format.

SMF is a great game and is what I wished Heroclix would have been.
