Are you in the USA?

Hey Scott, Are you planning on releasing more figs for the new edition?
Saw a great 15mm scale Rocket Raccoon this past weekend would be great for 28mm scale. Sure the sculptor wouldn't have a problem making it if it was commissioned. ;-)

Signed up, will save extra pennies because I'm in Australia.
-
yes sir, I am in the US.

Signed up, no promises on the KS or any models (Have a bunch of the original in larger size but mOving to smaller figures so if you go 15 mm (or smaller) then I will be seriously tempted, else only maybe rules.)
Gracias,
Glenn

Thanks, Glenn! Signing up for the mail list puts absolutely no requirements on you, so you're good to go. If you do sign up and stay with us through and through at Protector or higher level, you'll get Major Meteor with your book and dice.
As to new minis, we don't have any planned for the KS at this point. I don't want to close the door completely, but I really want to focus this KS on the book.
Thanks!

A book will fit on my shelves quite nicely. ;) :) So that is a possibility. Will there be any "Test-drive" AARs posted online for giving a flavor of the new rules?

Yeah, we're going to do at least one video explaining some rules. Of course, the play-test doc has been up and I have been updating it about every 10 days or so.
We'll be starting layout soon.
The book should weigh in at around 256 pages. I also plan to include a Fast-Play Rule Sheet and reference tables as well.

256 pages... um, that is a bit more than the rules that existed when I started miniatures war games (I am not counting toy soldiers in my youth) in the 1970's. Well, maybe except for WRG and the start of the fall of D&D that AD&D reflected. ::) ;)

We plan to use a clean, readable layout, with plenty of examples. If you've seen the B&B 2nd ed layout, it will be similar to that in terms of structure--2 columns, plenty of white space.
Also, the SoloSystem rules will be in there for folks to use. And I have included more RPG notes so folks can take the game closer to a full RPG if they like. We're also including optional half-page RPG sheets:

So yeah, there's a lot going on, but there will also be a Fast-Play Rules Sheet for beginners or folks who want to teach the game to newbies, and a nice double-sided reference card.
Hope this helps!

Quick idea for a KS add-on: extra reference Cards. Would be great for those of us who run a lot of demo games.

I can confirm this is in the hopper.

cannot wait for this to start.
Pulp City, Super System and Cross over minis.... lots of cool stuff.

I pretty much called this (I think on another thread or my blog) "The year of super mini gaming" between Pulp City, SS4, Games and Gears city board, etc....yea loving me some figs....
Now I just have to see what is going on about that "other Kickstarter" if that messes up my plans for other figs to merge in.
-
Scott,
Guessing you missed it. But can you answer my question on page one when you can. I always loved the many creations in minis that came out with the original rules. Curious to know if this will expand more with the new set of rules.

Ugh, I know... was hoping to use a few of those myself...
But on the bright side I purchased devil's knight and minions looking forward to painting those.
Question will there be pre done 4 color heroes?

Aside from Major Meteor in this pre-KS promo, we're going to focus this campaign on the book and the rules. I cannot say 100% either way if there will be new miniatures after that. I have some folks interested in working with me on it. I have to see how this KS goes.
Right now my focus is squarely on the book and the rules.
As to write-ups of the existing SuperFigs, the official characters, the answer is yes. Once the KS starts and we're into layout of the book, I will start in earnest on a PDF supplement to go with it that has the characters stats. And other stuff.
More on this as we go along.
Thanks!

That would be good. I have more Superfigs and Lance and Laser supers than I will ever need - especially since I have 15 mm supers to paint - heck, than I will ever paint, much less use.
While I enjoy taking a figure and changing the back ground to something "original" in a game setting, especially creating a thematic group, I like to have the original stats in case someone wants to play the figure/team as "standard" in the rules.

I appreciate that as a concept, but I think it will really limit the amount of backing you will be able to pull in, and thusly the grand total. People like "stuff" for their pledges, and are more willing to go big when they feel they're getting more "stuff."

I do understand this, but at this point, I am about producing rules. My last KS involved miniatures, terrain, dice, prints, and it about killed me. When it all comes down, I am a one-man gang with a little help on the side. Essentially, there's me and two buddies.
That's Four-Color Studios. And I work 54 hours a week too. No sympathy required; these are first world problems for sure, but I know my limits, and I am not sure offering a raft of new miniatures with this KS would allow me to also deliver the sort of high quality rule book I am after.
But all that said, I am closing no doors! We shall see.

Aren't rules "stuff" too? :)
I think you can run a KS without "bribing" ;) people to support it (and some of us don't want more miniatures in various scale strange as that seems.) Yes, if he included 15 mm miniatures I might be more tempted but that would depend a lot of how they looked stylistically (which varies from individual to individual) but it is [strictly IMO] the rules that drives games.
To me it is a bigger deal (Having had computers and multiple varieties of "backup" fail) that I have a choice of Printed/PDF (though I almost certainly will pick both.)

Hi!
Looking forward to 4th ed. and the kickstarter campaing Cheesy
Any chance that - as a stretch goal or additional buy-in, we could have some custom goal dice?
I was thinking some thematic goal dice with icons such as "POW","Ka-POW"and "MISS", would really add flavor to the games.
thanks
regards

Something like 1to 3 replaced by Miss, 4 and 5 with POW, and 6 with Ka-Pow for example?
Brain is tired already...
