It WILL be available via retail in U.S. stores, though, right? I'd rather not pay the (quite reasonable for EU-to-US) shipping fee of ~US$9.00 if I can avoid it. I can wait to buy it through my local store if it WILL be so available (understanding such availability will, to some degree, depend upon a local store's supplier).

I am looking forward to this being available via retail outlets.

Signed up! I note that the images didn't load on the sign-up page, in case anyone at Chaosium is interested.

Congratulations!

I think the logo that you've chosen is the worst of the lot. I prefer either the one for the Quick Start or the one above it in your blog post.

It looks to me like they should find a different word than "fanaticism" since the meaning has shifted over time and usage. Or, provide a definition of the word with the spell to remove confusion. In other words, tell the reader EXACTLY what the rule designer means when s/he uses the word "fanaticism". [Ah, I was on page 1 of the thread when I posted, didn't see there is a page 2.]

I'd back an English translation project for the latest edition of the game. You betcha!

Groovy.

When will the crowdfunding project begin? How shall one participate?

A while back I found a book listed for over a thousand dollars from an Amazon Marketplace Seller. I messaged the seller asking, "Over a thousand dollars? Really? Do you honestly expect to sell it for that?". The listing soon disappeared from Amazon.

Thank you for keeping it available, Newt! I got the pdf in a Bundle of Holding offering awhile back, if I recall correctly, but could not find the print version until recently. I find Lulu to be a very difficult site on which to find things for which one does not already have a URL. I just bought a physical book. Though, I didn't notice the hard cover option until after I had placed the softcover order. It would be nice of Lulu displayed all formats for the one book on the same screen. I may buy another hardcover copy in the future. Again, thank you for maintaining its availability and I understand why it may languish for some time longer before it receives the updates and tweeks that it deserves.

Bloody Dagda teenagers and their science experiments. /sigh/

ETA for the physical book?

BRP *is* D100. -Edit- OK. Knee-jerk post on my part. I guess by 'D100' Archivist meant Revolution D100.

Modiphious has its own house system, now: 2D20. I would not be surprised to see Chronicles published using it.

Confidence men/women.

"...dropping a decently sized city into a star system every four years..." Calls James Blish's "Cities in Flight" series to mind. Old Earth cities (e.g., Scranton, PA, New York, NY, etc.) leave Earth and travel between the stars at sublight speeds via Spindizzy propulsion, anagathic drugs extending the lives of the citizens of the cities. They visit star systems and perform contract labor for which the cities are specialized (e.g., mining, smelting, manufacturing, etc.).

It is a shame that this game seems to have disappeared into the aether.

Word.

You must have an old RQ6 pdf, sir. My pdf of RQ6 2nd Ed is 38.2 MB. Mythras interactive pdf is 37.4 MB. In contrast, my Mindjammer pdf is 203.8 MB. So, there's some perspective. I'm looking forward to looking at the printed book!

I just bought the pdf from DTRPG. So, I gather no break/credit towards the physical book when it is released. Bummer.

I want TDM to maintain their current focus and not seek such IP-hooked projects unless they happen upon one that really trips their collective triggers. They have carved a nice niche out and I think nurturing it will serve them best. And, I cant think of an IP that would make sense to me. Dune pops to mind, but then I imagine what a herculean project that would be (if it could (or should) be done). No. Eschew such entanglements for the time being. Yes. Wait. I am so slow. Black Sails. Put forth a setting for Starz' Black Sails series. That would rock.

It would appear not.

That's what I find, too. I'd not realized there were no illustrations. Of course, I only recently obtained the '81 edition. I've had the '77 edition. I understand this the current state of RPG books requires lots of art. I've come to hold the opinion that one should forgo art if one can't get GOOD EVOCATIVE MOOD GENERATING art like that which was achieved in the Astonishing Swordsmen and Sorcerers of Hyperborea rules. I like that the '81 books don't have illustrations.
