Strange Aeons Rules design question
« on: June 22, 2009, 11:46:25 PM »
Looking forward to the Strange Aeons rules, but - - - PLEASE tell me they do NOT use pairs of different polyhedral dice (example: D6 + D4) for different purposes.  I HATE that design approach.

No cause for concern - all you'll need is a handful of good old six-siders.

I'm working on the rules preview package right now.  You'll get an opportunity to try a short game for yourself quite soon.

Soon is soon, man. This is our first time so be gentle. Everything should be finished by the end of this month. And when I say 'everything' I mean the Rulebook and the first 5 packs of figures. Just trying to get the paypal account set up and various other tasks. Fingers crossed and it'll all be done before you know it. Thanx for the interest...it will be worth it.

Since I'm posting I should also let you know that the first 50 copies of the book will come with a very limited figure...but who? What?...
... ???...

The price of the Main Rulebook will be $28.95 Canadian and all the figure packs will be $12 each.

I'll take a rulebook at least - need to see the mini packs before I say anything about those.

Count me for a pre-order of the rulebook. I'll probably add a pack or two of figures as well  :)

Sadly a few of the pics I had posted got lost.  The site I was using tanked, and everything I had stored was lost.
