Malebolgia Posted November 5, 2009 Report Share Posted November 5, 2009 (edited) Fantasy Flight Games has posted another "State of the Game" report for October. They are still in the process of updating the rules, for both the base game and Novgorod. Both will be included in the upcoming V2 rules, which will be made available for download as well as for sale in a print edition from FFG. They also assure players that they will not abandon the Path Finding System. http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_tKYjOaYIvNE/Su_NL1DZ-0I/AAAAAAAABrY/Fzdq4JrdDMI/s1600-h/photo_wolf.jpg Daedalus appears to have been pushed back till the new rules are finalized. It currently appears on FFG's Upcoming page as "In Development", so I don't expect we'll see it in the near future. They do reassure players that Wolf will be available in time for Christmas. According to FFG's webstore, it looks like Yula is now currently out of stock, so you may want to snatch up her expansion if you see it at your local game store, if you haven't already. Tannhäuser Custom Department The Dero The Dero faction is composed of 2 Heroes (Pilot and Scout) and 1 Trooper (Drone), with the option to play 1 Hero and 3 Troopers. The pictures on the cards depict Storm, Assault, and Grim Golems from the AT-43 game by Rackham. You only need to choose 3 minis, from a single Therian pack, that differ enough to easily keep track of who's who. For a complete background on the Dero, and how they fit in the Tannhauser world, please check out my earlier column. The Dero have two Affiliation Symbols; the Dero symbol and an Agarthan symbol as well. This way they could team up with any Agarthan, be it a Hyperborean Priest, a Lemurian Sorcerer, or an Atlantean Scientist. DERO PILOT (Hero) http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_tKYjOaYIvNE/Su_NLBRhTYI/AAAAAAAABrA/MjYwS7EhEvE/s1600-h/dero_pilot.jpg Special Item: Construct Combat Pack: Vril Cannon / Claws / Stealth Stamina Pack: Vril Cannon / Irrillium Plating / Vril Battery Mental Pack: Vril Cannon / Telepathy / Vril Battery DERO SCOUT (Hero) http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_tKYjOaYIvNE/Su_NLcF6VLI/AAAAAAAABrI/Zr9ptPxuO8Q/s1600-h/dero_scout.jpg Special Item: Construct Combat Pack: Flash Gun / Claws / Stealth Stamina Pack: Flash Gun / Irrillium Plating / Vril Battery Mental Pack: Flash Gun / Telepathy / Stealth DERO DRONE (Trooper) http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_tKYjOaYIvNE/Su_NKpobpwI/AAAAAAAABq4/gFb5bdGA8jM/s1600-h/dero_drone.jpg Special Item: Construct Combat Pack: Claws / Telepathy / Stealth Stamina Pack: Claws / Irrillium Plating / Vril Battery DERO EQUIPMENT TOKENS Claws Hand-to-Hand Weapon. Add 1 additional hit in the event of a successful Combat Roll. Construct The artificial body makes it impossible to destroy any vital systems. Automatically cancel 1 successful hit from an opponent's Combat Roll (except Natural 10's). Constructs may accomplish any Objective (regardless of Skill) and cannot be healed by any means. Flash Gun Automatic Weapon. If you roll at least one Natural 10 on a Combat Roll, and your target does not, on a corresponding Shock Roll, they are killed instantly. Irrilium Plating If you roll a Natural 10 on a Shock Roll, cancel all hits rolled in the corresponding Combat Roll. Stealth At the start of each Game Turn, this character may enter "stealth mode" (flip the Stealth token). While in stealth mode, this character can only be targeted by Hand to Hand attacks and may only make Hand to Hand attacks. Telepathy Telepathic Range is Current Mental Value plus 1. For each Dero within range, add a 1-point bonus to this character's Current Combat Value. Additionally, any Drone within Telepathic Range of a Dero Scout or Pilot may make a free Counterattack, once per Game Turn. Vril Battery Adds 1 to the Current Stamina Value. Character explodes when they die; place a debris marker on their circle and make a Combat Roll for each adjacent character. Each of these characters also suffers an Automatic Wound, applied after the the Shock Roll, and cannot be countered by it. Vril Cannon Heavy Weapon. Adds a +1 to the result of every die (except Natural 1's). The Vril Cannon automatically cancels 1 successful Stamina Roll. http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_tKYjOaYIvNE/Su_NjVCCcTI/AAAAAAAABrg/FajndfiMh_M/s1600-h/dero_tokens_FIX.jpg I feel U-Chronic!

thetang22 Posted November 5, 2009 Report Share Posted November 5, 2009 Is it just me, or do those look a LOT like they walked straight out of AT-43? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WEiRD sKeTCH Posted November 5, 2009 Report Share Posted November 5, 2009 Therians? In my Tannhauser? :eviltongu Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
maple Posted November 5, 2009 Report Share Posted November 5, 2009 Is it just me, or do those look a LOT like they walked straight out of AT-43? You beat me to the punch on this one. They don't even look "kind of" like the Therians, they look like they were taken right out of an AT43 army box... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Morf Posted November 5, 2009 Report Share Posted November 5, 2009 Maybe FF has boatloads of Therian starters from the days of cooperation with Rackham. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
supervike Posted November 5, 2009 Report Share Posted November 5, 2009 I'm pretty sure this is a 'fan-made' expansion...not an official deal-io. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

thewartoad Posted November 8, 2009 Report Share Posted November 8, 2009 (edited) I'm pretty sure this is a 'fan-made' expansion...not an official deal-io. IMO it's an official deal if Fantasy Flight Games posted on there website/forums and will be releasing it. And the only reason I say that is because of this: "Both will be included in the upcoming V2 rules, which will be made available for download as well as for sale in a print edition from FFG. They also assure players that they will not abandon the Path Finding System." Edited November 8, 2009 by thewartoad Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bexley Posted November 8, 2009 Report Share Posted November 8, 2009 Read that more carefully- "both" refers to the original base rules and Novgorod. They are still in the process of updating the rules, for both the base game and Novgorod. Both will be included in the upcoming V2 rules, which will be made available for download as well as for sale in a print edition from FFG.

thewartoad Posted November 8, 2009 Report Share Posted November 8, 2009 Bexley...I read & understood that. I was referring to Supervike saying it's not an official deal-io. When you have to pay for something...then it's an official deal-io! If somebody wants to challenging me on this then try fighting your mortgage company in court because you think your payments are to high or not fair and it's not a deal-io! That's all I was getting at. Then again, the smart bet is on the download's because of today's economy. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bexley Posted November 9, 2009 Report Share Posted November 9, 2009 I think Vike was only talking about the Dero rules being fan-made and unofficial. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
