Watched the videos, I'm even more interested now than before!

Hi, what videos are you referring to? I'm curious because we haven't done any yet.

Thanks,
Bob

But maybe this (A video) would be a good idea to make it more playable. Too Fat Lardies made brilliant introduction videos for the first edition of Sharp Practice. Without them the rules were hard to understand.

I took a look at the Amazon page, and have to ask, why did you go with a pretty sci-fi looking cover?  I would never have guessed post-apoc by looking at it.

Because its Post-Apocalyptic Sci-Fi. It's 350 years from now. Most PA games are lumped in the narrow band of Mad Max/Near Future. Ours is a bit past that.

Thanks for clearing that up.  When I think of P/A I generally think within the first generation or two, and later as some sort of sci-fi.  But your explanation makes more sense.  Cheers :D

Because time of premiere is near, I think I must start painting more miniatures just to be ready on April. I have some old 4em postapo minis from scavengers line. But looking for advice/suggestions for other factions. Especially for mutants, robots, cultist ?
Thanks :)

Well Brother Vinni has some 'not fallout' minis. Copplestone castings has some good ones and the great northstar plastic kits have a sci fi upgrade frame.

I am still interested... need to paint something else than Fantasy and Dark Ages soon...  lol

Seriously, a post-apoc game with a sort of hunter-gatherer objectives and perhaps some hard sci-fi stuff in it sounds like fun. I like objective/scenario driven games.

Very cool looking stuff!

If it takes any of it's pedegree from Frostgrave, this is going to be a really fun game and I'll have to try it out.

Will there be demos at Adepticon?
