I talked to Lou Zocchi this morning. Fixed a few typos, but it looks like the new edition will be up on RPGNow by GenCon.

So when do we get a new Alien Space book? Or better yet, minis? |

I have the first edition as well as two of the expansion packs. One of my all time favorite "Old School" games. |

I bought a copy waaaaay back around 1976 IIRC, collected a few of the original plastic ships, and never did manage to get to play the game, so I wound up selling it all of for a song years later at a convention flea market. Always wanted a copy of Alien Space too, but never managed to pick one up… :p

Still a circle divided by 400? Mixing w/ Alien Space's normal 360 seemed like it should be an issue, but wasn't. I made the mistake of playing at my first GenCon, in 1980. Had barely read the rules. Fresh meat R us. Still going to have copies at Zocchi's booth? Doug |

There are no current plans for an updated Alien Space at this time; we will see how this release goes. Lou is thinking of printing a few copies of the new edition for GenCon, but I wouldn't count on it. He will have copies of the older edition and Alien Space. |

Would Colonel Lou ever consider issuing official minis for the ships from Alien Space? I for one would certainly support such an effort… Leland R. Erickson

Oh, I'm sorry, m'lord. I thought you had given him some you had printed. No telling how I'd gotten that confused. Oh, wait, I AM heavily in to my dotage… Doug |

I had a few copies of the new rules printed for Origins so that Lou could look at the new layout and make changes – he still doesn't do computers as he likes to say so file sharing is impossible with him. As far as minis for Alien Space are concerned I am sure that if someone designed them for him and then offered him a business deal he would be very open to that.

Now, Leland, I'm sure you're thinking of how you can be part of this, but remember the warnings of 'spreading yourself to thin…' Ah, lordsith, not false memory, merely bad… ;->= Well, daughter's off the hook; she may be going to GenCon and asked if I wanted her to be on the lookout. Doug Doug |
