So, what are you waiting f--
What? So this isn't the pre-order for the Corebook? It's the pre-order for the preview. Of course. Quite obvious in retrospect; it's right there in the title.
Ah, got a bit excited there. Hm. Still, I'll probably get it anyway since I plan on getting the core book...
What does "Echoes of War" even mean?
ReplyDeleteAnd didn't they already make this game under the title "Serenity" just a few years back?
Yes, they did (a bit longer that) -- but they lost the license to do it. The Serenity (movie) property is different from the Firefly (TV) property, you see.
ReplyDeleteDidn't know that...is it going to be the same system? Seems like they could recycle a lot of the old game.
ReplyDeleteI believe they're going to use the Cortex Plus -- it's based on the simpler Cortex system used before, but with some additions. :)
ReplyDeleteThe setting seems like it would be fun but I'm not a big fan of the Cortex stuff. I wish Weis would try making games with other mechanics. Worked for TSR back in the day. I feel like the mechanics should be based on the setting, but I was never a big fan of "universal" systems like GURPS (although they made some great sourcebooks) and Hero (they didn't).
