I´m going to compare both of them too, with the new figures from Lead Adventure, I expect...

At least we can reasonably expect both game systems to support pretty much any miniature you want to use, which is always a big plus.

Any chance of a link to these previews you've seen?

The one I read was in Wargames Illustrated. It's a fairly small write up but provides a few details about the system.

Good news. Im pretty excited and tihink about buying both. Void Pirates sounds great, but we'll see if Rogue Stars will take off as Frostgrave did.

I see this starts nickstarting on Nov 1. Right after Frostgrave nickstarter ends. oh my wallet. I hope there is a no book option though as I have already preordered the book elsewhere.

There isn't a 'no book' option, sorry.

But we're not like Kickstarters, you'll only have to wait 20 days before general release on the figures.

'course not getting the book from me means you miss out on 'The Rogue'. Comes free with each copy, and there's a 10% discount first week.

Might see if I can get a refund from the others then, or just wait.

Think I'll go in for the rules, but probably not all the minis. Got a lot of odds and ends of 28mm SF that I can use with it instead.

Precisely what I was thinking.

I may go in for a few of the minis, the droids look nice, especially the Gunslinger.

The preorder is live: http://nstarmagazine.com/ROGUE_STARS.htm

Is it possible to get a pdf of the rules through the Nickstarter? I know that ordering the books through the Osprey website often offers a bundle discount to get both a printed and digital copy of the book together... but you have to pay full price if you buy them individually. Would be nice to have both.

We don't sell Osprey's pdf's, let me chat to them and see if there's something we can do.

Went for the whole shebang. Not keen on the postage to USA but I'll deal with it for such nice figs.

See I wanted to watch to get an idea before I lay down any cash.....and I'm paywalled.

Anyone know where else I can see the video ?
