Talisinbear Posted October 23, 2008 Report Share Posted October 23, 2008 Hi all brand new here. Can't seem to find any leads to a ruleset for this game. Where is it hidden *smiles? Also are there campaign rules whereby a group gains powers through a series of games ? etc? thanks all Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheBugKing Posted October 23, 2008 Report Share Posted October 23, 2008 The rules set is in closed Beta right now. Shoot EricJ a line to get more info on the actual status of the project. It is probably going to be a while before the rules get released and I am not sure that an open beta is in the cards at this point. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EricJ Posted October 23, 2008 Report Share Posted October 23, 2008 yep, still in testing, not sure exactly when an open beta will start yet, if only I could get the darn closed beta people to give me some more feedback on the faction stats! Especially those arcanists, come on! Idealy the open Beta would be early next year, so keep an eye out. It really all depends on how fast we can make this game awesome and relatively non-broken!

TheBugKing Posted October 23, 2008 Report Share Posted October 23, 2008 OK. Lets some things straight here. Yes I am guilty of not using that feedback form. (There is a fix on the way for that. I'm just going to format the responses using the form for my posts so we can cut that crutch out from under you!) Feedback on the Arcanists will be forthcoming as soon as some of those slacking alpha folks get off their lazy bums and give us something to work on! Lets see you walk about on those bloody stumps now Eric! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EricJ Posted October 23, 2008 Report Share Posted October 23, 2008 I think we can find a safe middle ground by just blaming it all on Kelthos Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thetang22 Posted October 23, 2008 Report Share Posted October 23, 2008 I think we can find a safe middle ground by just blaming it all on Kelthos I thought that was a given... And don't forget to throw in that special ability for the steamborg that Kel was talking about when we finally do get an archanist list Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheBugKing Posted October 23, 2008 Report Share Posted October 23, 2008 I think we can find a safe middle ground by just blaming it all on Kelthos Oh darn. I forgot that you were just the slave driver and that Kel was the actual brains of the operation! It's obviously his fault. <runs off to get his steamborg so that it can cut Kels legs off at the knees> Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Keltheos Posted October 23, 2008 Report Share Posted October 23, 2008 DeKelitate... Look, do you want swanky new updates to the Res, Guild, and Neverb first or what? And is this chitty chat something we should be having in the open area of the forums? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And is this chitty chat something we should be having in the open area of the forums? I actually rewrote my post before I posted it so that it didn't give anything away I was about to go into a little bit more detail on the Steamborg conversation from the other thread, but then I got to thinking that maybe its a bit too sensitive even if its a joke. We may or may not be walking the line in this conversation, but nothing has been slipped that wasn't common knowledge already, so we are still in the clear I think. And yes please, the more swank the better on those new updates - Can't wait for the Neverborn Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Talisinbear Posted October 23, 2008 Author Report Share Posted October 23, 2008 OK so ruleset is a few months away. Can anyone at least suggest whether campaign rules, where a mini that dies stays dead, other minis in a warband gain strengths as you play over a series of scenarios/games (ala Mordheim) are part of the plan? It tends to be my general interest in skirmish battles these days, the long term ramifications of battles. I am surprised so many greart minis are out sans a ruleset.

I can't answer anything to the ruleset, however for the Minis being out before the rules, that would be due to Wyrd being a mini manufacturer first with the game coming as an idea after they had already put out quite a few miniatures first.

Talisinbear Posted October 23, 2008 Author Report Share Posted October 23, 2008 Well they look great Now if they have a campaign ruleset I'm in *smile Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Keltheos Posted October 23, 2008 Report Share Posted October 23, 2008 I *think* that's part of the plan, but a campaign system probably won't be out until sometime after the basic ruleset hits the shelves. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EricJ Posted October 23, 2008 Report Share Posted October 23, 2008 yeah, what Kel said most likely. We're working with a ruleset which is pretty different from what's out there already, and it's a huge challenge to get it balanced and ready for release as is. I would hate to delay it even longer to get a campaign ruleset. That said, I and the rest of the designers do like the idea, so look for campaign development in a future release. (unless of course it all falls into place quicker than we expect and can slip it into now...just don't hold your breathe) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheBugKing Posted October 23, 2008 Report Share Posted October 23, 2008 Sorry for being so slow. It's not like the Beta testers are waiting on anything any more you know? (Ducks the Decap10) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
absolute_d Posted October 23, 2008 Report Share Posted October 23, 2008 Breathe??? Shouldn't that be breath? Good thing you're not the editor!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheBugKing Posted October 23, 2008 Report Share Posted October 23, 2008 Yeah the editor should be fired. Oh wait. Is that you D? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
goblyn13 Posted October 24, 2008 Report Share Posted October 24, 2008 (edited) Breathe??? Shouldn't that be breath? Good thing you're not the editor!!! Well given that in most places the editor isn't the guy responsible for the spell checking and fact verification (that's why they have proofreaders and factcheckers), what' that got to do with him. Editors just cut the checks and make sure the stories set the proper tone, make sure that they mesh as a whole with the overall project, they leave the true nitpicking to their assorted nits though if they catch anything glaring they'll point it. Mostly editors are like Mom and dad they keep telling you what to do and to get it done or your fired.

Talisinbear Posted October 24, 2008 Author Report Share Posted October 24, 2008 OK so I have a long wait Is there a handy reference as to which release mini fit with which factions? I looked through the faction packs, but can't see what factions the other models fit with Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
absolute_d Posted October 24, 2008 Report Share Posted October 24, 2008 Can't fire someone who don't get paid...and actually the editors job is to make sure that all things are done correctly, including spelling, grammar and whether or not HIS/HER not HE stories set the proper tone. Ultimately the editor is responsible for the entire project before it goes to print. And before publishing houses became the monstrous beasts they are now-a-days the editor used to have to do all that work himself. Yes it's true, they're just glorified overpaid managers now, but they once had the responsibilty of quality control. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
