Quote from: Omega;836445Well its got one of the least evocative covers EVER. Id seen it before at a glance and thought it was some fantasy game cover.

It uses Chambers "System 26" system. Only 6-siders are used. Apparently like the AE:MAtE, it has little input from Ward. Take that how you will. And it is 2 years late. 3 if you count the 2011 pre-order that never happened. (Or longer since they announced it around 2009...) It was still being written as of 2014 so what the hell was the 2012 release date?

Good to see its on its way now. I am curious what the heck this System 26 is as there seems to be zero info on it.

I was part of that 2012 pre-order. I still have the receipt showing that I sent them money. I have contacted them just this morning asking if they will be honoring my pre-order. I am hoping they will. It has been a long time coming. The only older pre-order I have is for Warlords of the Apocalypse. I have hopes that it might well see the light of day yet.

Quote from: nezach;837320Is there anything for someone who has 1st ed. MA/Gamma World(TSR versions)/Mutant Future/Other Dust that might conceivably make them consider spending money on it?

The compleationist in me wants you to get it.  Despite my bitching, it is a pretty solid rules set, especially if you have all the other stuff.  It has a good dollar to value ratio (I might actually get the dead tree, once it emerges) and presents a viable set of fairly lethal, but still survivable rules.

If you haven't tried it, Mutant Epoch is a very good alternative to Gamma World (or MA) as well.

It should have been an OSR game.

Keep us up to date on how this turns out, because I just sent him an e-mail as well. I was also part of the pre-order, but I don't know if I have my reciept any more or not.

When the kickstart came out I did the upgrade from pre-order to "Wolfoid", which only cost a couple of dollars becasue the costs were so similar. However, the only confirmation I got was a "thank you for your donation" from kickstart. Further communication with Jamie were very non-specific other than to say that Signal Fire would take care of its supporters. (No awknoldegement of my Wolfoid upgrade.) Links for PDFs went out around 2 weeks ago and I haven't gotten anything yet.

I'd like to either hear from Jamie or get my money back, but I don't have high hopes for either one.

Go find a copy of the 1E. It *is* an OSR game. I have a copy that I keep as a fond memory. You couldn't get me to play it at knife point.

I was informed that they will be honoring my pre-order. They have already given me the PDF. We will see what happens next. I will admit that getting info out of the creators was a bit like pulling teeth. Just tracking them down was a headache.

I just got an e-mail from Jamie saying pretty much the same thing, but no PDF yet. He said they switched computer systems somewhere along the line and that some folks must have slipped through the cracks, but it still seems like a bad business model.

A shame. It's a lot of fun, particularly when Jim Ward runs the game. (I got to play in his campaign at GaryCon a couple years back.)

Quote from: RPGPundit;837908It should have been an OSR game.

Other than the fact that it's a brand new rules set, it is pretty damn old school. The levels of detail (or lack) in rules and setting are no different than what I'd expect or get out of any of my box sets from the early eighties. It gives me some cool ideas and a simple, consistent framework for me and my players to make shit up and have a blast.

Really, the game is all "Here's how you create a character, here's how you do cool stuff, here are things to fight, and here are some setting ideas. Now, play!" To me, that's as old school as my first D&D set back in 1981.

I am curious if there are any differences between the backer PDF and the DriveThru one.

Good point!
