I'll be releasing Commonwealth Space soon - definitely this year. Written and illustrated primarily by Pat Brady, but with the system tailored by myself. This is the third Cold Space Book, covering not a time period like Cold Space and FTL Now, but a political organization - the Commonwealth Colonial Authority.

Also coming fairly soon will be In Harm's Way: StarCluster - military Sci-Fi set in the StarCluster universe, using the IHW version of the ruleset.

Looks like Glorianna will be pushed back to next year, due to Dan Potter having to leave the development team, but the Uplifts and Androids StarCluster supplement by Klaxon and myself should be out soon - maybe this year.

IHW: Scum of the Earth depends on Kyle. When he's done with it, I'll be pushing it through to completion.

Any other questions or suggestions?

Nice stuff.

I want Glorianna...

Ah well.

Nice.

Here's Pat's cover pic for Commonwealth Space

I'm looking forward to Scum of the Earth.

Although IHW+SciFi sounds neat too, especially for stuff like this...

I'm looking forward to Scum of the Earth too...

IHW:SC will be fun too!

IHW: Scum of the Earth sounds fun as hell.  Have any info on it?  Or is there a thread started that I missed?

Hi Venosha!

IHW: Scum of the Earth is centered on the Napoleonic Era, but actually covers anything from the 16th through the mid-to-late 19th century, and focuses on the armies of the period, just as IHW: A Napoleonic Naval RPG focused on the navies. Think Rifleman Dodd or Sharpe. It's the companion piece to IHW: ANNRPG and IHW: Dragons!. The game is being written by Kyle Aaron and myself, with myself writing the mechanics, and Kyle writing the setting info.

Well if it is a companion piece to your IHW:Dragons, then I can't wait to see it.  Thanks for the info, and I will look for it in the future.

Cool Venosha! I'll keep you informed!

Canuckleheads IN SPAAAAAACE! What's not to love?

Pat has really developed the Commonwealth setting, Rich - even addressing low-G hockey and ice-lacrosse. I think it's fantastic, and so do my players, who are currently lost in the snowy wilderness of Gilbert Colony after their commuter jet went down in a blizzard.

Very nice. It sounds like a hoot!

The Uplifts and Androids supplement takes on the two biggest gaps in StarCluster Biotechnology. The original Biotech supplement described androids - basically made to order intelligent bio-constructs - and says you should hash out details of the android with your GM, and as for uplifted animals, it gives no details, just a few broad examples. The Uplifts and Androids supplement gives specific methods for creating both types of creatures, working from the base animal for uplifts, and creating creatures from scratch for androids. If you are able to create androids, you should be able to create bioroids, designer animals, so the same rules for android creation apply to bioroids and downshifts (intelligent but non-sapient androids).

The quality of the uplift varies by tech level, and the rules reflect this. Uplifts generally have several generations of development, and many different strains may result, all optimized for different purposes.
 
There will be several example uplifts and androids, with step-by-step creation of examples of each. Designers are clash bowley and Klaxon Bowley

I'm also working on finishing up the editing and illustrations for Cold Front, a campaign adventure for In Harm's Way: Wild Blue. Cold Front is set in the Republic of Georgia, right after the South Ossetian war with Russia - that was earlier this year for those of you who don't follow the international news!

Cold Front is written by Peter Spahn, and illustrated by clash bowley.
