As mentioned earlier, Margaret Weis Productions has gotten the OK for three more licensed Serenity RPG expansion books in 2008. And now we have more details:
The first product will be a collection of short adventures, each designed to be easily inserted into an on-going Serenity campaign. “Variety is our goal with the adventure product,” says Jamie Chambers, Vice President of MWP, Ltd. and the author/designer of the Serenity Role Playing Game. “We want to feature both the familiar and the new — to give Browncoats things they’ve seen before and many things they have not. Ultimately that’s our goal for all three of our new products.”
Six-Shooters and Spaceships will be the second product to hit store shelves, introducing new ships, additional weapons, and unusual technology. “Serenity is ultimately about its characters,” says Chambers, “but to ‘keep flyin’’ crews need a ship, guns, and a few nifty gadgets.” All the ships will have full-color visuals and deckplans, while the gear will include diagrams, descriptions, and full game stats for the Cortex System game rules.
The last of the new products is the Big Damn Heroes Handbook, a game expansion that will open up many options for players and Game Masters alike. “The idea is to create or expand on ideas that we just couldn’t fit into the core book,” Chambers says. “Character traits, campaign options, adventure ideas, new characters, more Chinese — it’s all going to be in the book.”
2008 is looking better and better…
Now if I could just find someone to play with. *sniff*
I’m not even a gamer and I’ve read that damn thing cover to cover twice. I’m makin’ room on the ol’ bookshelf….
Yes, I think the Serenity RPG rule-book was very interesting even for non-gamers (such as me 🙂 ). And I’m sure the new books will be interesting for non-gamers, as well (especially the second one, Six-Shooters and Spaceships, which I’m sure could be regarded as a technical companion or an encyclopedia of sorts).
I actually used the original rule book to make a board game for school. It is a wealth of information.
