Re: An announcement

Do you have an ETA for when it will be for sale on-site. Also how soon will a new spreadsheet be available. I can do the math, I just don't like to.

Dashed hopes...   Every time I goto the site today I see 'Its finally Here!'  and get my hopes up... but not yet.  sniff sniff.

Waiting... cash in hand.  ;-)  or is it credits... or some other such currency...  no matter.   me wants... my precious. ;-)   I need a good starship game fix for the holidays.

Re: An announcement

Hmmm.... well hopefully a little later tonight it'll be out.  Either that or maybe this is one of those pavlovian experiments to see how many of us will continually hit the refresh button on the main site and forums.  I'm dying to see these new vector rules.  Got me an idea for a setting possibly.

Re: An announcement

Yeah, I was ready to come home from work and order me a new goody.

My wife says I only have until midnight to spend my extra cash. :shock:

Re: An announcement

I'm trying to order a PDF copy from rpgnow.com ... I have an account there but they don't recognize my password... I've tried the whole "forgotten password" routine and it says a new one is being sent by email ... nothing. I then try to create a new account, I place the file into my cart, give my credit card number, the order is CONFIRMED .... THEN they tell me I must wait for my password to download the PDF file. I never got the new password either.

EDIT 18/12/07

I got everything sorted out just fine. rpgnow.com rules!  smile

Re: An announcement

Welll.... I definitely like the toolkit approach.  And so far I like what I see...but it's going to take a while to digest.

Re: An announcement

I had problems ordering with rpgnow using the one click buy, but everything went fine when I added it to my cart and paid with paypal.

Well... don't order from rpgnow... they'll screw you over.  :evil:

That's... Really odd. I got my PDF through them with no hassle.

Re: An announcement

I just ordered a hard copy. Likes my books I do.

On inspire.... on expire..... wink

2 Things come to mind regarding your password: 1) (of course) capslock and 2) french keyboard layout on your laptop. Both of those will frustrate ya. As for the unsent password: check your spam filter. You know, the place where all my email to you goes wink

Hope it works out for you.

Where did you order a hard copy?  I picked up the PDF on rpgnow... would get a hardcopy too if I could find it.  ;-)

Looked on Lulu... but its not there yet.

Re: An announcement

Awesome ... I just got billed under BOTH accounts now ...

EDIT 18/12/07

I just got billed for one transaction after all ... thanks to the swift action of the staff at rpgnow.com.

Re: An announcement

I haven't read the thing yet. But the first thing that comes to mind is the ink cost of printing a grey page background. A nice thing to make on a future release/update would be to have a non-gradient version available as a PDF download.

I blame Jay for the vbam-esque page background decision wink

Don't blame Jay for that! That's all me! Likes me some gradient backgrounds, I do! smile

I just bought the book, too, and it looks good. There are a lot of options I will probably tweak, and others that I will add back in from Starmada X, but I am looking forward to giving everything a spin and see how the VBAM connections will work with this new edition.

On the surface, and having not played any games yet, I have to say I like the changes to Engine and Shield hits. I am still on the fence with some of the other changes, but Dan was kind enough to slap me around until I understood his logic (or was otherwise too dizzy and incoherent to argue any further).

Wha? You've had S:Aed a few hours already and no update to VBAM:SX yet? What is this world coming to!  Ah yes, the cricket bat... :twisted:

I just have given the ruleset a first read as well and I *really* like the chartless "vector"ish movement, boarding parties (arrr matey!), ablative hyperdrive fix, and other assorted mods. I think that this edition actually addressed all the little things that annoyed me in S:X. (Cartman has heard me gripe about Marines/Drones/BatSats rules vs Fighter rules often enough)

I'm looking forward to re-statting my Japanese fleet ( *again!* this will be the 6th iteration I think) and playing many a game with the S:Aed rules. I guess that's the best kind of praise for any game. smile I'll just need to work a little harder than in the previous edition to get the SFX I want from the various starship parts offered within the rules. (This is a good thing imo)

Re: An announcement

Regarding my little, ah, misunderstanding of yesterday when I was trying to get a PDF copy of the rule at rpgnow.com; well thanks to the awesome customer service they have, everything was smoothly and very quickly resolved.

Now, let's build some ships with these new rules!  :twisted:
