Those of you who were here for Lord of the Dead know that I don't have a digital camera, so I have to rig something up with my cell phone and shoot a video that way. The problem with that is the video isn't the best, and my phone is many years old,... (Read More)

Halfway PointHere we are, 15 days into the campaign, and still holding strong. I know there are a lot of people who wanted this to become a $70,000 project, but I'm honestly glad it isn't getting that big. Even with the lessons learned from Lord of... (Read More)

Rules Preview

August 4th - via: kickstarter.com
Lots of people have messaged asking about the rules. I've been a bit shy about posting them yet, because the words are there, but that's about it, very little dressing. I don't have it all edited and spruced up and fancified, yet. But if you promise... (Read More)

Corvette vs. Battlecruiser

August 4th - via: kickstarter.com
One of the backers asked about play balance. It got me thinking ... I have it balanced fairly well, but could a corvette (the smallest starship) with the right combination of skill, luck, and build, be able to take on a battlecruiser (the second... (Read More)
