That's really too bad.  Thank you for trying, though.

Any chance we could get a few bundled deals for the Holiday season?

For instance:

Classic Adventure Bundle
Core Rulebook bundle
Boardgame bundle
Space Combat bundle

or something similar?

I am not a fan of bundles. Partly this is because we, our licensor, and, for quite a few products including all the newly available Spacemaster pdfs, the authors, get paid royalties on the sale price. If I cut the sale price, everyone gets less money. Instead I determine what I believe to be a fair price for any product that will enable it to pay its way in the world and set it thusly.

Best wishes,
Nicholas

I'm not sure if PDF-based RPGs follow the same pricing and sales trends as video games, but if they do, take a look at some of the numbers Brad Wardell (CEO @ Stardock) and Valve (owners of Steam) release when they have sales.

If they don't, then feel free to ignore of course.

There is also a Space Master Companion (called Space Master Companion I) for 2nd edition rules (blue cover, looks like a cantina).
Is there a release plan for 2nd ed Companion I, item #9002?

If we can find its author and come to a mutually satisfactory arrangement, then it will go up. If not, it stays in limbo.

 If they can find the authors and they agree to the product being sold then I would say yes ICE would do it. As to a date? ICE has plans to rebrand a lot of other stuff before getting to SM2 titles, unless the rebrand is easy to do.

Any of these products going to be in hard-copy? It seems, from initial glance, that only the PDF version is available for sale.

Unfortunately, no, not as currently presented as the build files for these products were lost years ago. We do want to release an Imperium setting sourcebook in the future for HARp SF and eventually unified Spacemaster.

Hmm... first post here. Glad to hear the Imperium is coming back instead of the Privateers universe. And that brings up a question. Will the Silent Death timeline be integrated back into things? I had a thought for the ending to Terry's trilogy...everyone converges on Ondoval's stronghold with the Soulsword...defeats him...destroys the Soulstone...then the Dia Khovaria,to make sure the job is done,brings in one of it's warships and bombards the site from orbit with Mk 100 Plasma Cannons!! Ondovals not dead though and in a last act of revenge before being atomized by the bombardment activates a long dormant K'ta'viir bioweapon...seeded throughout their old empire millennia ago...a horror the Imperium eventually names ...the Night Brood. Scary thought that. Happy Halloween!!

Welcome Jraffa. I like the idea that the Night Brood are an old K'ta'viir weapon.

While the pdfs of the SM2 setting (Imperium) are being released, I have no idea if that is going to be the official setting if/when they start to re-do the Spacemaster RPG, though, like you I prefer over the Privateers setting.
Power corrupts, and absolute power corrupts absolutely. Scratch that. Power attracts the corruptible.

The Silent Death timeline will not be integrated into a returned Imperium sourcebook. As far as we are concerned, the Imperium does not fall and the Brood do not exist.

Nice to hear. The Imperium has too much potential to die so soon and so quickly.

I'd still have an enemy similar to the Brood.  A hostile alien race on the frontier the Empire wars against.  A few light years out from the frontier is the occupied and smoking remains of the Brood Home World, with the enemy empire still controlling a hundred solar systems.  Far to small to ever defeat the empire, but a great adventure hook.  Primarily I could see a real xenophobic fervor sweeping the empire, with Emperor all to eager to promote humanistic patriotism, so easily channeled into faithful vassals.
I've seen things you people wouldn't believe. Attack ships on fire off the shoulder of Orion. I watched C-beams glitter in the dark near the Tannhauser gate. All those moments will be lost in time... like tears in rain... Time to die.

Does anyone know or have access of the correlation of the Silent Death star maps to the Spacemaster 2nd Ed maps?  I would really like to find that info..

I would SO love to do this! (As if I don't already have enough on my plate/platter/desktop). Or maybe at least edit it, since no one knows more about the SM2 Imperium than Barrett and me.
