Plus, I'm thinking that I might want to do a Kickstarter thing so that I can afford artists, and maybe a real print run.<br /><br />It's pretty much going to be like <i>Top Secret</i>, though. If you have the game already, there won't be huge changes (I do want to change the optional rule for damage to particular locations so that a head shot can actually kill someone, along with a few other little things like making rifles more effective than pistols and such, just for my own peace of verisimilitude, but nothing game-shattering). My main reason for doing it is that having it available for new players to get a copy without haunting the used markets might be a handy thing.<br /><br />What the world really needs, though, is for FGU to release their stranglehold on <i>Flashing Blades</i>. There's a game that could use supplements if there ever was one. Royalists and Roundheads! Journeys into the Ottoman Empire! Or Persia! Pirates of the Mediterranean! The Rise of the Romanovs! Heck, what about the fall of the Ming and rise of the Qing? Not that it isn't awesome just as it is, but it could be the engine of choice for 16th-18th century games. And what about importing weird fiction ideas? They sort of touch on those in a couple of the published adventures (notably, "Guede-Je-Rouge" in <i>High Seas</i>), but it could use a thorough discussion.<br /><br />Um, not that I've thought about what I'd like to see for that game in some depth or anything.faoladhhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03691952430041394614noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8116962779728480800.post-36980639241314630462012-05-16T10:41:26.497-07:002012-05-16T10:41:26.497-07:00I'll be really curious to see your Top Secret ...I'll be really curious to see your <i>Top Secret</i> clone. <i>TS</i> is still one of my favorite games - I have <a href="http://www.obsidianportal.com/campaigns/cold-warriors" rel="nofollow">a nascent campaign</a> on the backburner that I hope I can run at somepoint in the future.Black Vulmeahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04270071699114783644noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8116962779728480800.post-30867007460914488872012-05-16T09:02:43.740-07:002012-05-16T09:02:43.740-07:00Yeah, that's what I'm hearing.

I'm also hearing, though, that it's kind of a continuation of a story that is told in <i>Thor</i> and <i>Captain America</i>, neither of which I've gotten around to yet. They're on my Netflix queue, and should be here soon, though. I imagine that <i>Avengers</i> is going to be in theaters for a couple more weeks, at least.faoladhhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03691952430041394614noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8116962779728480800.post-90068225708613379312012-05-16T08:29:21.922-07:002012-05-16T08:29:21.922-07:00Go see Avengers.
