Hammer time!

I am honored to see a write up for Rogue Space is now up on Paul's Site Troll Hammer. Even better? Paul's created a WEALTH of Rogue Space characters and notes on some solo play he did.  Paul's creativity and ideas are a great addition to Rogue Space, and if you like Tunnels & Trolls, there isn't a better site on the net to get your fix.

I have come up with an iconic character and look for Rogue Space which my wife is working on bringing to life now.  In addition the first logo is complete with two more variant logo designs are to come.  I am waiting on a return of the final edit from Marc, and then layout begins.

The Shape of Things to Come

 

I am finishing up some final edits on the main rules book today, then back to Mr. Marc Pavone for a final eyeball and okay.  Once that is complete I will do layout and make a print test  book.  Once I see all is as it should be, the core rules book goes up for sale.  How much will it be?

It will cost you the production cost of the book with no mark-up what so-ever.  I won't make a dime from sales of the rules book to you. They are, outside of shipping and production cost of the booklet, free. I will not post a PDF of the full rules booklet, nor make one for sale.  Pocket mods of core rules subsystems will remain free to download as they are currently.

Instead of making a profit from rules sales, I am going to ask for you for a donation.   Whatever you think is right or what you value the game at is up to you.  Maybe it's $1, maybe its $1000.  Whatever that amount is, if any, I leave to you to decide. I am designating this as:

The Rogue Space Program

Your support of the program will further the exploration and creation of more Rogue Space materials.  A lack of support means an abandonment of further Rogue Space Exploration.

Beyond just strict donations, my wife is going to create some unique Rogue Space Program logo items which you will be able to purchase.  Proceeds from sales, will support The Rogue Space Program.

Thanks for your patience, I value your participation in The Rogue Space Program and look forward to delivering the rules book to you soon.

Call to Arms

I finished the Rogue Space Skirmish rules for miniatures!  It is available for free download now, in handy pocket mod booklet form. Please note, I'm already at v 1.1 in order to clean up some stray goofs.

Sorry, no vehicles or mortars or strange other worldly beasts are included...yet...but as with all things Rogue Space you never know what might appear when you explore it!

While you wait...

for the rule book edit to finish, I will launch...

A simple, fast playing sci-fi minis game!
COMING THIS WEEKEND

Mixology complete.

I am happy to say the excellent editing work by Mr. Marc Pavone is complete!  Now begins my part of the editing process, which given Marc's excellent work, should mean the rules book will be out quite soon!

I will finish the edit and then proceed with layout and I hope to have the beta book done this weekend for a final look before a print test.

As you know this will be a printed book edition you can order.  I will also keep the 8pg pocket mods up and free to download.

In the meantime, Hereticwerks has come up with a Green Star Whale you may come across in Rogue Space...and this is only a start. Look at the creativity and options with this creature, its really inspiring. Hereticwerks has many more cool and frankly kick ass plans for expanding Rogue Space in new directions.  Add them to your daily blog reads, you won't be dispaointed!

Thanks for your patience, I hope you will find it worth the wait.

Space is vast

...which means you never know what to expect...nor what you might find.  While editing is ongoing for the Rogue Space RPG, some very talented folks are continuing to produce some fantastic material to support the game right now.  Hereticwerks, Porky's Expanse, and Swords & Stitchery are making lots of great material you can add into your game right now!  Links to their sites are big and bold on this site off to your right!

Also some of the stuff they have planned to expand Rogue Space is truly inspiring, and I can't wait to get my hands on it and start adding it into my own gaming time.  Don't let the temporary lull in new material here stop you from exploring deeper reaches of Rogue Space.  You never now what you might find...

UPDATES

A few quick updates:

1. The draft edition of Rogue Space Core rules is done and out for editing by Mr. Marc Pavone.  I want to thank Marc personally for undertaking this task and for donating his expertise and skill.  I won't be posting new stuff until the book is done.

2. My lovely wife finished the Rogue Space cover art, and I love it.

3. If you remember (and like) the old Melee/ Wizard games-I knocked together a fantasy RPG inspired by those rules.  You can download it for free on my new Heroes & Other Worlds blog.

Thanks for your time and support in 2011, and best wishes for a prosperous New Year!
