We are working on a print on demand version. No target date yet though.

Bought and have had a first quick read through.  I am off to have a run through of combat.  This is a nice looking product.

Question for you Joseph: when we have rules questions and are seeking clarifications and/or errata, do you want to do that here?  Different thread?  Your website?

I suspect I'll get the most questions on the Facebook group, but feel free to ask here.

Just had a quick look through, ideal for solo or co-op play - just what I've been looking for.

My problem is that I haven't even read through the last (big) Mission yet, and already my brain is buzzing with custom missions I can do with my minis collection!  (The second scenario of the tower mission in particular has me thinking about a full playing card deck dungeon-crawl randomizer...)

This ruleset as exploration heavy dungeon crawl would be fantastic...

That doesn't sound like a problem to me! Sounds like an opportunity!

I do recommend printing this in a 4-up layout for ink savings.
The game looks like a lot of fun and I'm off looking at ranger minis and dreaming.

Are companions heroes? Can they gain permanent injuries?

In an Age of Loneliness, good solo or co-op rules are too few.
A little UP for a printed version, hardback please - and as beautiful than your other books, pleeeeease! ....and why not translated in le french s'il vous plait ;D

Best regards

If only all the lonely solo wargamers could get together in a gaming group.  But then, isn't that the whole problem?   lol

The can gain permanent injuries, they can also level up, although they use a simpler system than the rangers.

A print-on-demand version is underway. I am also talking to a company about a potential French translation.
