Hey FentonGib, Right now we aren't sure exactly what's happening with Reign of Discordia, though we are committed to seeing new material released for it in one form or another. To recap, we've had issues getting new material from certain (to remain unnamed) freelancers, there have been issues...

I apologize that I accidentally skipped over you when sending out replies. There was a lot more interest in this than I was expecting. At present, I have the writers I need for this project, but there will likely be more opportunities in the future.

Nope, no relation between the Cthulhutech people and the RoD people. RoD is my own personal sandbox. Part of the reason it exists is because I wanted to give myself a nice space opera sandbox to play in after the Babylon 5 novels license didn't pan out for Mongoose (I was starting work on one...

Absolutely! I wanted the aliens to run the gamut from the familiar to the truly bizarre, and I definitely wanted to avoid making any of the aliens races dog or cat people. My initial approach was to construct a generator with a number of different species traits that can be observed here on...

Hey everyone! Gun Metal Games is currently looking for a freelance writer to work on a 96-page book for the Reign of Discordia setting. So you're probably wondering, "Hey, Mr. Freelance Writer Guy, why aren't you writing it?" The answer to that is that I'm working on novels right now and I...

Actually, now that you mention it, there is the theory that every conceivable reality exists in one of an infinite number of parallel universes. So, if you can just figure out how to cross over to a parallel universe, you could indeed connect the Third Imperium with Reign of Discordia. Of course...

This seems to be one of the biggest points of confusion, and I admit that it doesn't help that the major (though now defunct) political entity in the setting is called the Stellar Imperium. Frankly, that term gets a lot of play in scifi these days because no one dares call their big evil...

I have, and I wrote it. What would you like to know?

Indeed this is the case. Right now there's some material that was originally created for True20 that needs to be converted to Traveller, there's sourcebooks in the works, and I'll definitely be supporting the setting with a line of fiction. Fiction will be released through my company Monumental...

Having been a major scifi space opera geek my entire life, the setting was entirely dreamed up by me. It was originally released to True20, but when we showed it to Mongoose, they felt that it would be a great fit for Traveller, and I happened to agree. I tried to make the setting enough of a...

I doubt you'll be disappointed. We have plans for the setting that include some low-cost material and additional books. Thanks for taking the time to write a review.

Hey Gamerdude, As the author of the setting and the guy who did most of the conversion to Traveller, let me tell you a little more about what you can expect and what my design philosophy was in creating the Traveller version. First of all, though this is a new setting, I wanted you to be able...

Kafka, absolutely! I'm going to try to not be too long winded here, but let me share a few thoughts on this subject. First of all, a direct conversion of the existing True20 products may not be in the works. Instead, we're going to try to work the material in with larger books that will be...

This is one of those complicated issues that was kind of left intentionally vague for a reason. In the original version of Reign of Discordia, ships moved (at faster than light speeds) "at the speed of plot." In other words, there was never any hard and fast rules for how long a space voyage...

Just as soon as we can possibly get it to you. As Dave said though, we might be looking at Q1 2010. Not sure yet as there remains much to do.
