Given that Modiphius policy has been to āannounce to Qx of year y, postpone with or without notice and release as a surpriseā, I fear we wonāt get more than in March or December: Tricorder and Shackleton scheduled for Q3 2021 (meaning: within the next 14 weeks), DIS and PIC updates upcoming.
So, benevolent line manager, Iād like to buy one obtain-information-spend with Threat that you may spend on complications as you like and ask: Whatās the next release date for STA on products @mattcapiche and me (and probably some more, while weāre at it) can hype on?
Even the quadrant books and division books were a bit of a glutāIIRC, some of them came out on top of each other and we had wanted them spaced out more. Covid and international shipping issues have delayed a lot of stuff. Expect another glut in Q3 and Q4 this year. Been telling yāall to save your latinum.
I can say tricorder preorder coming soon, new dice sets coming soon, and the Klingon GM screen finally (FINALLY) about to reach US shores for distribution.
Lots more to discuss when the timing is right (i.e., once all the products and marketing pieces are in place).
Should have taken note of this subject considerably earlier, but, while Iāve got interest in pretty much everything attached to Star Trek on a conceptual basis, Iāve got to back up NervePinch the big one-ten. The Tricorder set would be, indeed, the first item Iād like to see developed and offered for retail purchase, and I sure as hell want to see rules, settings and options that deal purely with Original Series settings and constructs. Everything following that, from our groupās perspective, is purely a, āWell, weāll see about including it,ā consideration.
Itās at moments like this that I have the urge to do the Howard Beale, āI have seen the face of God,ā from the conclusion of Network, but thatād be getting a touch blasphemous. iāll just take a deep breath and pass on my most sincere thanks and hopes that the Tricorder set will be ready for distribution in the Ontario, Canada, region sometime next weekā¦whatās that you say? Probably some considerably longer waiting period than that? Sigh. FINE. Iāll waitā¦maybe use the interim to write my magnum opus on the RPG industry, Waiting for Tricordotā¦
All right, thatās enough foolishness on my part. In all seriousness, my thanks, Modiphius_Jim, and looking forward very much to the Tricorder set, as well as the Klingon game screen, dice, and whatever else Modiphius has on the burner for Star Trek Adventures. Hope to see some results of the gangās work soon.
āWaiting for Tricordotā OMFG, thatās classic. One day, Iāll try to memorize and recite Luckyās monologueā¦but that will have to come after Iāve finished learning the Major Generalās Song.
Would have to agree, MisterX. While the variety of mission, change of scene and ongoing cast of āguest starsā with a starship-based game has, is, and probably always will be the core of the Star Trek experience with our crew, having the option of a starbase experience, be it single-mission or long-term arc, is always a welcome option. Looking forward to this aspect of game development as well.
I would look forward to a Mission Brief Pack for stations! My crewās starship is assigned to a starbase so I hope I could play some missions on the station.
Iām cool with The Next Generation TV series, but everything after that mostly leaves me cold. The older I get the more I enjoy the original show and, for an RPG setting, how it leaves so much unsaid and undefined that you can fill in the blanks based on your personal tastes as long as you donāt outright contradict anything clearly presented onscreen.
When will the Shakleton Expanse book be available for sale on Amazon, so I can afford it? (With S&H fees, it jumps the price up to nearly a $100 hundred US Dollars.)
