Hey Scott, Are you planning on releasing more figs for the new edition?
Saw a great 15mm scale Rocket Raccoon this past weekend would be great for 28mm scale. Sure the sculptor wouldn't have a problem making it if it was commissioned. ;-)

Signed up, no promises on the KS or any models (Have a bunch of the original in larger size but mOving to smaller figures so if you go 15 mm (or smaller) then I will be seriously tempted, else only maybe rules.)

Gracias,

Glenn

Thanks, Glenn!  Signing up for the mail list puts absolutely no requirements on you, so you're good to go.  If you do sign up and stay with us through and through at Protector or higher level, you'll get Major Meteor with your book and dice.

As to new minis, we don't have any planned for the KS at this point.  I don't want to close the door completely, but I really want to focus this KS on the book.

Thanks!

A book will fit on my shelves quite nicely.   ;)   :)  So that is a possibility.  Will there  be any "Test-drive" AARs posted online for giving a flavor of the new rules?

Gracias,

Glenn

Yeah, we're going to do at least one video explaining some rules.  Of course, the play-test doc has been up and I have been updating it about every 10 days or so. 

We'll be starting layout soon.

The book should weigh in at around 256 pages.  I also plan to include a Fast-Play Rule Sheet and reference tables as well.

256 pages... um, that is a bit more than the rules that existed when I started miniatures war games (I am not counting toy soldiers in my youth) in the 1970's.  Well, maybe except for WRG and the start of the fall of D&D that AD&D reflected.   ::)  ;)

We plan to use a clean, readable layout, with plenty of examples. If you've seen the B&B 2nd ed layout, it will be similar to that in terms of structure--2 columns, plenty of white space.

Also, the SoloSystem rules will be in there for folks to use. And I have included more RPG notes so folks can take the game closer to a full RPG if they like. We're also including optional half-page RPG sheets:




So yeah, there's a lot going on, but there will also be a Fast-Play Rules Sheet for beginners or folks who want to teach the game to newbies, and a nice double-sided reference card. 

Hope this helps!

Quick idea for a KS add-on: extra reference Cards. Would be great for those of us who run a lot of demo games.

I can confirm this is in the hopper.
