Federation Commander

SVC states in the Star Blog for 8/24 that he updated the rules for Star Fleet Rescue. What is it? It sounds interesting.

It's some new game that SVC is working on. Nobody knows what it is yet.

I did just change the Orion chart to have one space mine and two pirates.

It sounds interesting whatever it is.



So what kind of game will this be? Or are you not telling at this time?

It's a game where you can be a Fed, Romulan, or Klingon. Each player can pick an empire, all can be the same empire, it works out either way. Each empire has a special advantage.

The problem I have with the game is that production is expensive. We'd have to go to China and buy 5,000 copies, and the game the other company did looks to me to be a cute gimmick that people will play three or four times and get bored with. So we might just print the rules (using standard dice instead of custom dice) and move along. Or, we might be able to make it with custom dice but without the other components which you don't really need anyway. I haven't had time to look into the custom dice question because I'm busy with PDFEDS.

Sounds like something that probably won't work.
