Nice news, my wallet gently weeps!

I wonder (as my wallet is not as capacious as I'd like it) if there are any further plans on doing (mass market?) paperback reprints of the Lone Wolf novels?

It is already mostly written :) However, we have been combing the forum for comments players have made over the years.

I am very pleased to see the enthusiasm for expanding the Judge Dredd Miniatures Game stuff.

I will be first in line at Salute for my Manta. A range of resin MC1 vehicles would be incredible. Fingers crossed for that. Needless to say, Lawmasters are also on my shopping list.

I am also pleased that the Mega City One zombies are hybrid Mantic kits, as their plastic zombies are the best on the market by a long shot. It will be interesting to see how their quite fantasy looking, toga/sackcloth wearing sculpts are sci-fi-ed up.

Things look bright for JDMG, which is a great Xmas present for me :)

RE: 2300AD

Have you considered approaching William Keith for some contributions? His work for the first edition (particulary "Aurore Sourcebook") was top notch.

I read the section about Lone Wolf with great interest. It was pretty much what I expected it to be; the list of upcoming products is certainly intriguing.

Can't wait to see it all come together and help out where I can.

I am very happy to see that Mongoose is publishing Traveller and all the books they have published this far: In my first week, I bought 10 books, and I will spend Christmas reading through them.

I just hope to see more new products and less reprints of old GDW/DGP stuff.

Sorry, I'm voting for Victory at Sea as well. The Cars thing sounds like it could make a good one shot board game (would it be a bit like Dark Future?) but VAS 2.0 is going to go dambusters in comparison.

All I got to say is if, you used ideas out of the forum and somethings Ive seen show up in discussion the new rules they will be great.

I like the sound of the skimmer/futuristic car game. As someone's already commented, this would work well as a board game - perhaps with the removable engine upgrades, weapons, etc. that Matthew mentioned all included. Supplements to cover new racing arenas/areas, more vehicles and so forth could be released later. Running a season of something like this, where drivers learn new skills and tricks, collect prize-money to repair and upgrade their rides and so forth, would definitely appeal to me.

I would also like to have seen something done with Aliens vs Predator license - though I realise the severing of ties with Rebellion may have nuked this possibility. Again, a boardgame with marines/predators/aliens would be a lot of fun. A mixture of Space Hulk-esque tunnels and forested areas would be ace. The miniatures designers would have a lot of fun with these models.

I don't think ties where really severed, just a parting of ways.

Don't other companies already have the AvP licence for tabletop?

I can't tell you how excited I am at the Solomani sourcebook for Traveller. I have been waiting for this one since Mongoose got the Traveller license. Any idea when it might be out next year?

Cheers
