Im curious about some facts about the book.
- Will the book be in color (looks like it at the kickstarter)
- How many pages
- Hard or soft cover
- Is the rpg and miniature game separated?
Is the rpg rules made that your can use the same rules when you play with miniatures, or is it a rpg way to play the game AND a miniature way.

The current plan is full color. We may do 4-6 full color registers, and the rest in 1 color, but we won't do that unless it won't effect the quality of the book.
What I mean by that, is that if the vast majority of the book looks best in color, that's what we're doing.
That will mean a $50 or $60 price tag. Some one color with some black and white (or more likely spot color) will probably bring the price tag down to $40. It's a delicate balancing act for us to get the best possibly product out, at a reasonable price.
It will currently be hard-cover only, but if we reach a second edition, I'd imagine that we'd release a soft cover as well.
We're shooting for a target of 300 pages.
The mini game and RPG will both be covered in the core book, and the rules are essentially the same.
There will be more skills and RPG style story-telling elements in the RPG, and more scenario and community focus in the skirmish game. Both will have strong leanings towards campaigns, but we're trying our best to come up with good one-offs as well (for both the RPG and skirmish game).

Moved to News because I think it fits better here. Let's keep the Scrap Heap for video game discussion  |

I might have to up my kickstarter to $150 if we're talking $50 for just the book.

I might have to up my kickstarter to $150 if we're talking $50 for just the book. Keep in mind that we're going to have the quick start rules up for free on our site once we do maybe one more round of play-testing. and beyond that, the 300 or so page core book will be available as a PDF for around $15. And if you're the torrenting type, we will be posting our products around. So there will be a fit for everyone, at least that's our intention. |

You will get feedback......
I love to do small shortstories, so if you need some then just ask. To fill out a single page or something like that. Give it a bit more flavour.

When I get some RP rules my friends and I will gladly blog about it. I'll try and get a mini game in with the beta rules and blog about that for some feed back.
