I had forgotten how much Silent Death stuff I had! 10 expansions and about a Hundred fighters. Yowza.

I need to play summa dat. Maybe run a Millennium Con game?

Don't just sit there, Mister Warlock! We're gettin' ready to post the playtesting ship displays and proposed revisions to the rules including weapon stats and such for the Night Brood, including ship displays for the six Brood ship minis that have never previously had a ship display sheet issued, plus rules for the Night Brood's own dedicated anti-Warhound weapon, the insidious Worm Pod….evil grin

November in Texas? I can think of worse ideas.

Probably not, but wish you full sales and clear sailing.

I have 6 or 8 night brood ships and the supplement. Maybe I'll do that.

Warlock,

The original Night Brood supplement will give you the background and basics of the Night Brood. The new ship displays and revised rules will modify the original rules found in the Night Brood supplement accordingly.

"Maybe?" No. Do or do not, there is no try!evil grin

We ran a game at a con years ago, 10-12 players, every man for himself. If you destroyed an enemy and made it back to your start position, you upgraded to a better fighter, die and you respawn in a basic fighter. Was great fun.

Perhaps, Leland, but so's Recruits, and, for me, a one way 200 mi, instead of 800 mile, drive.

Still, Sir Randall and I wax lyric about a con bus/RV for a great tour, after retirement. Never sure how my lady is taking to the idea.

As I said, Texas in November…

Such a great game…

BlackWidowPilot Fezian14 Aug 2014 4:27 p.m. PST

Option,

funny you say that. The game is such a great game that that is why Dr. Greaves and I have stuck things out as long as we have trying to keep it alive, and at long last we're getting closer to actually having new products for Silent Death for the first time in over a decade.

It's been one helluva long slog, but we're getting there… just another few inches to go and we release the Beta playtesting ship displays for the revised Night brood ships including the six (6) that have never previously had a ship display to call their own… evil grin

…and I am on-board again. Already saw the ship sheets that are coming. Not as over bearing as the original Brood, but still insidious. Having been on the design side of things with ICE and Powercell Games (Quad-S 1 & 2), Doc and Leland have made a heck of an update.
