Strange Aeons: Second Edition...

[Sheerluck Holmes]

Solo rules are written...just need more playtesting. These will not appear in the book. Most likely they will be an add on at some point, requiring a card deck...

I was hoping they would make it in to the book

It sounds a bit like the solo rules might be a supplement sort of release with the card set.

[Uncle Mike]

Exactly. In the end there simply wasn't enough room in the book and they worked better as a card deck anyway. Hopefully we can get them produced during the Kickstarter.

Yup, the card deck really is the best approach.  I brought up the idea of using dice and a set of reference tables, but it was pretty inelegant, and would have required players to constantly consult the book while playing (cue flashbacks to Battletech hit tables...).  Cards are far better integrated with the fabric of the game.

I agree, AI cards make much more sense. Take a look at the Gears of Wars boardgame to see how it's done right

I backed Mantic's Deadzone campaign for the AI rules (and the scenery elements) and they went with the AI deck, although I haven't tested it out yet it looks promising and I was hoping to be able to adapt them to other games, being a primarily solo gamer (not out of choice mind you.) I am extremely happy to hear that UMWW is also pursuing this avenue and if possible am even more eagerly awaiting the upcoming second edition. Everything sounds great so far, keep it up!

I have all your cards up to date, will these be implicated in the second addition.

Twisted Fate and Psychic Power cards are still applicable and will work with no adjustments required.

[Argonor]

I have the Psycic Power cards, but not the Twisted Fate deck - are they still available, or will they be for 2nd Ed.?

[LidlessEye]

The printable version of Twisted Fate is still available as a download from our website.  As for the plastic cards making a return, we'll just have to wait and see...   

[Argonor]

Okies... have to go looking (maybe I have them in a long forgotten corner of my hard drive, though...  )

[Aeneades]

Quick question!  I popped onto the webstore to buy a few mini sets so that I could get this years black goat exclusive but saw that all minis have now been withdraw from sale. Will the mini store be returning before the black goat cut off point so that those of us who haven't picked up an order since March are able to get one?

Alternatively, would backing the kickstarter count as a purchase and come with a watcher?

[Uncle Mike]

You are correct. Backing the Kickstarter will get you the exclusive figure for the year.

[Aeneades]

That's great, thanks!

[LidlessEye]

Time for the first batch of miniature previews!  Models will be bundled up in two sizes: large Box Sets and smaller Boosters (roughly half what you get in a Box).  These are two of the sets that will be available at the outset of the Kickstarter.  We'll preview the others next week, plus there are plenty more lined up as Stretch Goals.
