11/04/2019: The Player's Guide to 2095 is being delivered via Backerkit!
over 6 years ago – Tue, Nov 05, 2019 at 02:02:51 AM

Hi everyone, I'm happy to announce that the player's guide to 2095 is being delivered!

Right now it's going out through backerkit. You should get an email notification soon, and a link to download the file.

I'm having troubles with the mailing list on DriveThruRPG. For some reason it doesn't want to accept it. When I get that worked out, I'll send you a copy there as well.

What you need to know/do

This begins the errata stage. We're working hard to make sure this is going to be a great book, but that also means we need as  many eyes on it as possible, so I urge you to go to the Forums on my website:

http://gunmetalgames.net/forums/

Create an account (if you haven't already) and post your feedback. 

You should also look for your name in the backer credits section!  Some of you still haven't filled out the survey, and I really don't want to leave you out, so please, if you don't see your name, contact me directly at [email protected], or send a private message here on kickstarter.

The pdf will be updated regularly, similar to what Pinnacle Entertainment did with SWADE. Each time you'll be notified of updates.

I'm also working on a JumpStart for the GM's Guide, and getting ready to do layout on the Adventure, but I have to shift over to an overdue project that needs to get done asap.

Over the next few weeks I'll post more updates, but for now...I really want to have a beer.

Thanks so much for your patience, and I hope you like it.

Ok, final update before I release the Player's Guide to 2095.

I have all the content in with the exception of the index, the backer list, and the table of contents. This weekend I'll be getting that taken care of along with a final proof, and (though I really HATE giving Dates), I will send it out to everyone on Monday. The final page count is looking to be 272 pages, so it's much bigger than I initially planned, largely due in part to all the history and world material. I wanted more equipment and vehicle art..generally more art throughout, but I have neither space nor budget for it, so I'll just have to add more stuff to the Malmart catalog.

There won't be a GM section in this book, but I'll be doing a Jumpstart for that book, and obviously you'll get it as a part of the kickstarter.

So, yeah. Monday (fingers crossed).

Thanks everyone for your patience.

10/20/2019 Update: Closer, but not quite there

Hiya everyone, just hopping in to update you.

It's been a crazy weekend; I got a lot done, but kinda feel like nothing was accomplished, if that makes sense.  I've just 2 chapters to go, but when I started digging into the documents I didn't like the way everything was formatted, so I started making a new doc and began compiling everything, and of course that kickstarted my imagination, and I got hung up creating more stuff!

So, as I said. I got alot done, but didn't really get my goals accomplished so it'll be a few more days. The upside? More material!

Anyhow. That's it for now. Thanks for your patience.

10/11/2019: "Phone" pdfs, Weapons, and armor creation docs, final stretch
almost 7 years ago – Fri, Oct 11, 2019 at 11:16:01 PM

Hi everyone, I'm just hopping in with some questions for you, mainly to get your opinion on some things.

First off, I've recently found an article on drivethrurpg in the publisher knowledge base section about creating "Phone" pdfs, which are essentially books designed to fit your smart phone. I'm wondering, if I offer this format as an extra bonus in addition to everything else, would this be something you are likely to use?

It takes much more time to do it, so I won't have it ready when the full-size pdf drops, but am more than happy to do this for you as bonus material. Feedback is appreciated!

Next, the Armor and Weapon creation rules are proving difficult to deal with. There are so many balance issues cropping up in the past week or so, that I really want to  take more time and flesh them out. I have rules for vehicles and golemmechs that I'm happy with, and these will be in the book, but for reasons I'm not comfortable sharing right now, I want to slow the process down and put the armor and weapon creation documents in the Malmart book rather than just dump them in the Player's Guide when they clearly aren't ready.  Feedback is welcome.

We're definitely in the final stretch now, and provided I don't put the weapon and armor creation rules in, I should have the pdf ready by the 21st at the latest, and the POD version for the PG ready in the first or second week of Novemeber, depending on how fast I can get a proof copy printed and sent.
