Now in orbit

The test print books arrived and after a few changes I will have the final files done and Rogue Space will launch tomorrow.  The book will be available for purchase at production cost on lulu.com and I will provide a link on this site.

In addition the donation option will also go up as will the option to purchase branded Rogue Space items.  All in all, I am looking forward to seeing if the Rogue Space Project gains enough support to move forward, or see if it dies a quiet death in the dark frontier.  The Sample pocket rules have been updated as has the Starscope.  The sector Map will be up shortly as well. 

Countdown has begun....

This is ground control to Major Tom...

...couldn't resist a Bowie/Space Oddity reference. 

 Quick update, print tests due in Friday, final edits this weekend so I expect to have Rogue Space up for sale (at cost) this Sunday!  I owe some fine folks (you know who you are) who made this game possible.  So I will be emailing you this weekend for your address so I can send you your copies of the final game book!

Thanks for your patience and as always, thanks for your support.  Hope you will enjoy the game!

The Dark Frontier

It's the subtitle for Rogue Space and I think it fits and gives the the idea of space, exploration and the unknown.   Edit complete, my wife's art contribution are complete...layout commencing.

Sneaky Peeky

Well my wife is giving shape to my mad visions and I guess the editing delays are good in that they are allowing her to continue to create some kick-ass art. (yes I am very prejudiced, it's my wife!)

The editing is really almost done and the layout is this weekend, and then straight to the dark side of the moon! We will have lift off my friends!  Thanks again for all your patience and support, I sure hope you will think it is as worthwhile as I do!

Monkeying Around

Well after a loooooooooooooooong week on the road I am finally home.  My wife has cranked out quite a bit of wicked great art and I have the final edit and layout to finish this weekend.

Once complete test books will be printed.

Final reviews done.

Then it goes up for sale at cost.

Again I hope the Rogue Space Program donation idea works, but that is out of my hands...and in yours.

Fear not fellow Rogues, the destination is in sight, stay on target...we are almost there!

Meanwhile...at the Captain's Blog

I had a request from a friend to convert my skirmish rules over for use with his 15mm miniatures...and a few emails and reviews later we have AWAY TEAM.  It is a Trek inspired rules set for play with his Astro miniatures!  I won his Astro Crew minis and they are fantastic!  New sculpts are coming from Eli (from I See Lead People fame)for other races.  Set phasers for stun, break out your tricorder, and beam on over and check it out.

Editing on the rules book continues...my wife's artistic additions continue to grow...and I can't wait to "Release the Kraken" so to speak...

The Manual

Despite almost being done with the manual I've decided to add a few extra bits that seemed to be needed.

1. A short solo adventure by Paul Ingrassia
2. A brief outline of sci-fi genres to consider for your own settings/adventures
3. A brief referee's role/hints section
4. Sample Setting
5. Short refereed adventure

All of it remains lean and mean, but it fills out a few gaps and I think adds a bit more Rogue to the Space.

Between my work schedule and the necessary editing and layout work, I believe late February would be the timeline most likely for the manual launch.
