Strange Aeons: Second Edition...

[Uncle Mike]

The date is a closely guarded secret...but sometime in October would be reasonable to assume. More news and sneak peeks for all Cult Of The Black Goat members in the next issue of Fhtagn!

Also, I will be starting a Second Edition playtest thread in the coming days. Detailing the struggle of my beleaguered Threshold team. So, watch for that!

obsidian3d, it always feels good to beat James. A feeling I relish as it comes along so infrequently.

Looking forward to this.

And Second Edition, of course.

Despite our technophobic leanings, Uncle Mike's Worldwide has a presence on both Facebook (https://www.facebook.com/StrangeAeonsGame) and Twitter (https://twitter.com/UMWGames).  We haven't been using either very heavily up to this point, but it might behoove you to follow/like us if you haven't done so already, just in course any sort of preview campaign might be getting underway in a week or so...  



P.S. Don't worry, there'll be plenty of info posted here and on the SA Website too.  No requirement to leap on the social media bandwagon if you don't want to.

Oh far away October... The suspense will be killing me

Next week will see me moving into an apartment that is over twice as large as the one the wife and I are in now.  That means for the first time in six years I will have room to host for my gaming group.  Our group tends to fall along the "We'll show up with snacks and play whatever." lines, so I think it is about time to get a couple of lists painted and some terrain built.  Between SA and Epic Heroes, I think there is going to be a lot of skirmish gaming in my future.

Board size in Second Edition is the same as in first edition?
ie. 2x3 feet?

Going to make a new table, and just want to know, so Its not waste of work and money.

[LidlessEye]

There's no change to the recommended board size.  Games may get a little bit larger points-wise than they did in the past thanks to the new advancement and promotion rules, but everything still plays on a 2x3.

Just so you guys don't feel like I'm baiting you with these attractive but not-especially-informative images: you'll see a few more teasers over the next week, culminating in a new website launch with lots more details about 2nd Edition.

I see lurking in the background of the KS promo the SA smoking gun logo, please tell me that is not changing as I love that design (and was actually wearing that shirt yesterday!)

[LidlessEye]

Have no fear - there shall be no change to the logo!

Well I seem to be having decent luck with my Lurkers, but my Threshold list has had their asses handed to them twice, out of two games. My most recent outing lasted about three rounds. I lost an agent (one of my two starting figures from way back), and another gained an arm wound. They might not be long for this world...

Tactical note: Zombie dogs are squishy, but much faster than you'd expect.

Also worth asking: are there any serious pet peeves any of you have around Kickstarter?  I know some people hate early-bird pledge levels, others get irked by having to add their own shipping amount, and so forth.  Just want to avoid anything that will make the experience an unpleasant one for backers.  Oh, and if your issue is that they don't accept PayPal, don't fret: we're planning to accept PayPal pledges directly during the course of the campaign.

FYI: There's a GREAT forum for Kickstarter advice on Facebook:
https://www.facebook.com/groups/KickstarterBestPractices/

You can have people review your "draft" Kickstarter campaign and help you with editing, clarity, etc. A lot of guys there are board and miniature game developers who have a lot of experience. It's a great group.

Good luck, and I desperately want to see it!

Final teaser...  Tune in Friday for a website update and preview of the new edition.

Right on time.
