Vehicles book for Brink of Battle author's update
« on: October 03, 2012, 08:04:03 PM »
From our Facebook group:

I was planning on going over this later, but now's as good a time as any. Here's the skinny on the next BoB supplement. I'm bumping the vehicles book up for a December release date.
 
I'm pushing Epic Heroes fantasy back to April for debut at ConQuest Sacramento 2013.
 
I will be setting up two play test groups from those already chosen: the first one will only work on playtesting vehicles rules. The second will only focus on fantasy rules.
 
If you live in Reno, Auburn, Sacramento, or Lodi and want to be involved in playtesting, email me here on FB and we'll discuss.
 
The one message I want to convey to everyone up front: This is vehicles for a SKIRMISH game, so don't get worked up for big tank battles! :) Forces will get to add motorcycles, trucks, halftracks, chariots, bicycles, war wagons, and tanks to their games. These will be limited by the players before hand, as with the Legend Level mechanic from Epic Heroes.

There will also be new Traits, Gear, and I'll also debut the Darkness/Bad Weather optional rules that you can break your teeth on.

No, aerial vehicles are not appropriate to have at this small scale. I do have rules for deployment from aerial means other than parachute, so things like fast rope deployment from low hovering helicopter as well as glider landings will be included.
 
If there is a vehicle you would like to see represented, sound off. Just don't get crazy or too attached to the idea. ; )

Crap - I've been busily working in real life, and haven't gotten here in a bit.

I guess it's too late to volunteer?

Not too late.  I'm still compiling my first playtest draft.  I'll keep you posted.
