NEW...TRANSMISSION...INCOMING

Sneak Peak...Fionna

Here is a sneak peak of my wife's work for the Dark Edition rules book.  This is how she describes Fionna:

"Fionna is a merchant and a dangerous one. She is beautiful, hard working, ass kicking and isn't afraid of danger, if there are enough credits to make it worth her while. Think Jade from Jonny Quest, think female Boba Fett, think...well...Fionna from Burn Notice.  Watch your six and don't cross this kat!"

This is why its taking awhile for the book to finish, she is making some great illustrations to make Rogue Space Dark Edition worth your time and money.

Patience is a virtue

So what's taking so long to get the black edition out? Art.  My lovely wife is working hard and is trying to make some bad ass bits to make Rogue Space dark edition worth your time and money.  As a result, well, it takes time and when someone is doing the hard work for love not money, its a real jerk water who says  "okay do your best but macht SCHNELL!" She did not marry that guy!

Good news? Rogue Transmissions 2 will be out before the dark edition book, and what a great issue it will be!  Thanks for your patience and support!

Welcome to Lithus!

Hereticwerks has really outdone itself by creating a full blown sector to explore!  They will begin adding to and bringing to life the Lithus sector over the next few weeks!  I hope it becomes a regular stop as you explore the Dark Frontier.

 

Century Mark

I have waited to post something because it is post #100 here at Rogue Space. It needed to be something special and I thought it was going to be about the Dark edition rules book...but let me tell you...THIS is special and well worth post 100 status!

Hereticwerks has published an OUTSTANDING FREE ADVENTURE for Rogue Space!  Yes it is rock your astro-sox awesome...but it gets better...

The adventure is the gateway to their forthcoming LITHUS SECTOR for Rogue Space! Yes an entire built from the ground up sector to explore...and maybe survive...

Get over there and start following their lead up to Lithus now, and run the adventure--I am this weekend!

I  want very much in post #100 to say thank you to my fellow bloggers supporting Rogue Space.  Your creativity and talent in exploring and expanding the Dark Frontier is nothing short of amazing. I am thankful for your work and inspiration!  You make this game more fun!

MOST of all I want to thank you the player, for taking a chance on a simple but flexible little sci-fi game. I am grateful for your time, attention, and most of all your support. 

Transmission #2

Hello fellow Rogues!  This is a deadline announcement for submitting materials for Rogue Transmissions #2!  I'd like to put this out in later September so Please have all submissions to me by 8/31/2012!  Open office document or MS Word works fine.

Make sure to include your name (pen name or real) as well as your blog site address so I can point people to more of your great work!

Your Time Will Come...

As promised, I have now posted in pocket mod format the optional ship combat rules for free.  These will be included in the Dark Edition rule book as an option and for those owning the original rule book, you now have them for free! 

In essence these rules have ship combat damage become a bit more cinematic in application.  Also the exact damage effects in game play allow a creative referee to add more description and effects.

They are strictly optional  and as with any RPG rules: add, expand or discard as you like.  They are an amalgam of rules based on Mike Berkey's Where No Man has Gone Before 2.0 and my own Far Trek RPG rules set.  As with all things Rogue Space, they are simple to use and can be expanded on to suit your own desires.

Speaking of the Dark Edition rules, art continues to be created, and cover B was chosen!  Thanks to all who voted.

Also M.Jared Swenson has a Star*Drive history post for use with Rogue Space!

The art in this post is Fallen Astronaut by SeanSoong.

Star Drive for Rogue Space

M. Jared Swenson has produced a new set of 3 pocket mod books converting the core elements of the Star*Drive setting into Rogue Space pocket mod booklets!  I can't begin to tell you how outstanding an idea I think this is!  If you wanted a setting for Rogue Space, this is a fantastic place to start and better yet, he plans on weekly Star Drive Saturday's to keep building on to the setting.  Visit, download, and start following MJ's Fairly Unkempt blog now!
