Looks like an interesting combination of Traveler and D&D, though the world-building stuff at the back looks really good.

I ordered the hardcover.

Quote from: SineNomine;431801So far I've made back about a quarter of my initial investment in software, ISBNs, stock art and proofs in the first month of operation, and while I expect a downturn in sales until I can get my next product out, it seems to be working about as well as I could reasonably have hoped.

SineNomine,

I mostly just lurk here, but wanted to post that I downloaded the free version last night, and ordered a hardback copy today. I also purchased a copy of Hard Light. This is good stuff, and I look forward to future releases.

In case anyone hasn't seen, I've been diddling around with the SWN world generation system for a 40K sector, and I have some suggested tweaks for those of you who prefer more Traveller-like worlds.

Late to the party on this one, but just let me add my congratulations and thanks on this product. What a cool, cool game!

Finally got around to download it.

Let me join in the chorus of praise by saying that it's really, really cool. The implied setting feels very Traveller-esque. The system is highly streamlined and layout is excellent.

I salute the new theRPGsite darling!

Just ordered the hardcover version so hopefully in about 10 days or so(3-5 days to print and 3+ days shipping since drivethru wouldnt let me choose the 1-2 days option) i'll finally be able to give the game a proper read through and get rolling up some characters and galaxies

Someone get this man a copy of the game so he can sign off on it, please.

I'm pretty sure Pundit has a copy of SwN. We could certainly do worse that endorse this game forum-wide. The more I read and fiddle with it, the more I really really like it. I bought Hard Light and Skyward Steel and am loving them both. Very consistently good quality all around.

I also downloaded and read it. I like it. The generation tables, sandbox style stuff is very well done indeed. Huzzah! I also vote for a RPGsite darling.

:-D

I asked on the purple as well. Can we publish with this? A license perhaps? What about fan sites and material?

Thanks,

As I understand it, yes. It's not OGL because the author wasn't sure of all the legal implications of making it OGL, but he's been pretty enthusiastic when people have made stuff for it.

I wouldn't be surprised if an SRD for it appeared once I get a chance to really figure out what I'm doing; I've been pushing hard to get the monthly Mandate Archive freebies out, plus more for-sale content. I'm a fan of the OGL in the general sense- my next project is Red Tide, a sandbox setting for Labyrinth Lord with tools to help a GM handle the model- but I want to do things up properly. As for fan sites and non-commercial stuff to share, people should consider themselves encouraged to gin up whatever they like.
