You know, now that there's this newfangled board about my little game, I might as well use this to announce updates to the rules. Two fairly minor changes, probably not worth redownloading if you already have it. I'm aaaalll about the incremental improvements. 1. I noticed the Rank section was causing a slight amount of confusion, so I reworded it so it was less rambling and more to the point. 2. The section on determining how much damage a strike in ship to ship combat did included an unnecessary step, so I folded it into the second column of the table, thus reducing that section by a couple of paragraphs. The math works out the same, you just don't need to add any modifiers now. Also, I'm experimenting with a better layout program right now (Open Office is for the birds when it comes to prettying things up) so expect pictures and a prettier layout at some point in the not too distant future. Maybe not in a week or two, but maybe in a month or so.

Also, I'm currently brainstorming ideas for a players guide. I like that idea a lot. I can see it being pretty handy. I'm thinking graphics heavy, a bit more "fluff" about the races and equipment, not too heavy on game rules beyond making characters.

Have an exalt for that!

Awesome, slortar! I will definitely download the updated version. Thanks for letting us know, and I am proud to let this board be a home for WNMHGB!
Perhaps start a new thread for “What should be in the Players’ book”. That is definitely something that has been on my mind of late, and I would love to help you brainstorm. (I am out of steam for tonight, though!)

Slortar needs some sort of Federation medal of honor, or something. This is a rockin' set of rules!

Wow, thanks. Maybe this will give me the kick in the pants to actually sit down and start redoing the layout. Or, more likely, I'll just procrastinate with other stuff.

I still encourage you to work on a handbook that excerpts player character generation and other stuff useful to players. Maybe a digest-sized (8.5"x5.5") booklet! :-)

Okay, that's my next official project after I finish up what I'm working on now. Should be kinda fun to do...probably have the text up before I do any prettying up with it.

Okay, I lied. While brainstorming ideas for the Player's Guide, I noticed something missing from the GM section: Orions! So, I wrote up a species template and half-assed a ship description. So, now the game has Orion pirates and sexy green women, if you so need them.

Not recently. Every once in a while I get the bug to write more, but I get distracted by Real Life (tm).
