I've been helping Matthew handle final proofs over the last 3 days. All the art is finished, all the writing is finished, we're just wrapping up minor layout issues. Everything will be print ready on Thursday. It's only a matter of days now folks. If Mongoose doesn't have preview copies at open day, I'll be surprised.
I'm actually really enthused; between the artwork seen so far and the snippets of the game system shown over on the ctech boards, this game looks like it could be really good fun.
Been trying to dream up a campaign - the only problem is there's too many choices on what to play; do you go with an all-action battlefront type game for Mecha/Engel pilots, a small squad-type NEG infantry game in some backwater, suddenly overwhelmed by tentacled horrors, or (my personal favourite and probably the most cinematic) a small film-noire cyperpunk crawl through the Arcologies with members of the Eldritch Society waging clandestine war against the denizens of the underworld.
The only downer I can see is that it might be hard to cross these story paths over each other - I imagine their pace and scale are just too different.
Will we be able to get an online game up on the mongoose site? I'm thinking PBEM would be a good format.

Don't forget, you can play as an NEG combat soldier acting as a SWAT team member, a mech pilot that uses power armor for riot control or exterior arcology patrols. On the production front, the core book is entirely finished and the pdf documents are in mongooses hands for print. We're eagerly awaiting final print proofs from Mongoose.
I look forward to getting hands on with the timeline and metaplot - I think tbh the most interesting thing you could do is actually run an inter-linked series of games with different characters.
The beauty of the way it's layed out seems to be the variety of story types, but the overriding theme.
I guess the downer would be the disconnect between characters when moving from one narrative to the next.

I'm personally going to be running 2 campaigns, one campaign is going to be an NEG front lines campaign and the second will be an eldritch society campaign. The story arc will eventually have them running into eachother and instead of being enemies they have to team up to survive. There are many different ways to approach the material, it all hinges on how good of a story teller the gm is.Alexb83 said:
