Old Spacemaster 2nd Edition Products Release Schedule

<< < (3/9) > >>

Ynglaur:
I really hope Aliens & Artifacts gets released as a PDF.  It is hands-down one of the best sourcebooks ever produced for an RPG.

Marc R:
Working on it per the "Lost authors" thread. . . .Sea Law is also now back for the first time in a long long time. . . .if there's a book you'd really love to see, go look up it's author on the list and find them. . .heh.

Aliens & Artifacts is in a strange place. David Pulver was never paid for it by Old Ice, it also formally reverted to him courtesy of the Old ICE bankruptcy place. David Pulver never became a lost author, however. Eventually he extracted some of its content, removed the Spacemaster trappings and reused it in GURPS Traveller products. A chunk of the material is Aurigas-owned, a chunk is owned by David Pulver and a chunk is lost forever. So we cannot return Aliens & Artifacts as-is, I've got to make a page and word count of the limbo content, and make David Pulver an offer. If it goes through, we'll then have to produce an abridged version or perhaps it may feature in a future Imperium setting sourcebook.

Best wishes,
Nicholas

 Nice, hopefully a work around can be found. And maybe David or you can say what material was transferred to what Traveller product for easy look up.

NicholasHMCaldwell:
The schedule has been updated with 5 new never-before-seen-in-pdf Spacemaster modules. All of which should be text searchable (covers excepted). Many thanks to Terry Amthor for scanning books for us, and to Tod Foley and Kevin Barrett for being willing to come to mutually satisfactory agreements with us.

Best wishes,
Nicholas
