Hey all from the resident noob
I've seen a fair bit of speculation as to what Mongoose will do in the future or what some think they should do in regards to space ship combat games. We are all sad to see ACTA moving on in a few weeks.
I'm wondering however, what you as a gamer are planning on doing July 1 and beyond? Will you continue to use 2e as written with P&P et al? Will you move towards fan-based mods and develop your own rules along with local players? Will you divest yourself of the game and move to another system? Or will you?????
Myself I'm in a bit of a bind. I know of no other local player, there was one, but I bought his ships off him. No LGS has any stock so no new players on the horizon. I started this game in order to add it to the games my new old boys gameclub will play once it gets (if it gets that is) going. That and I've always been a big Babylon 5 fan and have the DVD collection to back that up. Otherwise I can always have a couple friends over and I can share my fleets. I've tried to buy the rules from my LGS (they cancelled the order) and a couple of times from online traders etc but both deals fell through (one is apparently lost in the mail) so I may have to suck it up and pay full price before month's end (I'm sure Matt is happy to hear that
) but truth is my gaming budget is getting smaller in today's economics (having a new baby in 8 weeks doesn't help the finances either!)
To be honest though, I've also taken a look into the generic space combat game systems and then use my Bab 5 ships. If mongoose goes the way of generic space combat, I'm all over that as I like the way this company works (from what little I've seen). My LGS carries lots of Mongoose RPG's and a few I've talked to say they really like them. And this forum is a refreshing change from many others I've seen out there.
So, how about you? Where will you go from here?
