Let's not be so dramatic... I think we know enough now to say that the rule changes will be minor... stealth mode changes + talents + panic rules + ammo and armor... there will be a lot more additions than changes with among other things the rules for zero gravity + miniatures + we will have all the elements of Alien Romulus....

we must not mix things up... there are the rules for the characters and there is the rest... I sincerely think Tiberius that you will get your money's worth with the SPACE TRUCKER sourcebook when it comes out... you will have the setting of their universe... the trade lines I imagine... the money bonus aspects... and 6-7 scenarios that will take root with the new JEREMIAH saga... the game rules are one thing, the sourcebooks are something with a lot of information and ideas.

Enjoy your games,

Given the Evolved (2nd edition) Kickstarter, what does this mean for a Space Truckers book? I assumed it would be the third after the marines and explorer/colonist books (Colonial Marines and Building Better Worlds).

The Evolved (2nd edition) Kickstarter definitely shakes things up, but a Space Truckers book could still be on the horizon. It might be next after the Colonial Marines and Building Better Worlds, or they could push it further down the line depending on demand and timing. Fingers crossed it comes soon

if we follow the logic of FREE LEAGUE from past releases... we see a cinematic and then a sourcebook... with the new JEREMIAH saga... I would put a $25 out of my pocket that the next book will be the... SPACE TRUCKER sourcebook ...

P.S. The Evolved rulebook goes with the new starter set with HOPE'S LAST DAY expanded ... the RAPTURE PROTOCOL cinematic goes with .... the SPACE TRUCKER sourcebook ... If there had been no new rulebook ... the HOPE'S LAST DAY expanded cinematic would have come out in a special box cinematic, that's why it gets the EVOLVED STARTER SET new box ...

Any 'new' news? Is the title actually "Space Truckers" or a more non-generic one? I assume it is just a working title.

In the december update of the Evolved KS they mentioned - What's Next?

• Part 2 of the Jeremiah Saga: Jonathan Hicks is back as the lead writer for this very tense cinematic adventure and stand-alone sequel to Rapture Protocol, featuring a squad of Colonial Marines stranded on a remote moon.

• Re-release of Chariot of the Gods: The first cinematic adventure releases for the ALIEN RPG, Chariot of the Gods has been out of print for some time and we are currently working on an update and graphic redesign for the Evolved Edition.

• Space Truckers Campaign Book: This project has been in the works for a long time, and it's finally moving forward.

• A New Trilogy: Beyond the Jeremiah Saga, we are already looking ahead to a new trilogy of cinematic adventures. We're really excited about these and we think you will be too once we can tell you more about it!

The KS itself included the following that has yet to be released:

• Evolved Colonial Marines & Building Better Worlds: The redesign of these two books is still in progress, but almost done. You can see a few spreads from the new CMOM above and below. We expect to send these to print early in the new year, after which they will be shipped to backers who included them in their pledge.

These will of course hit the retail after they have sent them to the backers.

So that's what we know so far.

Paul Elliot has written up the background stuff. Fingers crossed we get that map of Anchorpoint he was talking about. Dave Semark is writing up the campaign. The latest edition of the Effekt Podcast mentions it. Expect something along the lines of Building Better Worlds content and structure wise.

I hope to see something on the Chrysalis one shot first though.

Fenhorn is great.

1) Part 2 of RAPTURE PROTOCOL from the Jeremiah Saga with Jonathan Hicks. A stand-alone adventure to continue the saga. So, if we think about it, the Jeremiah Saga won't be (might not be) the focus of the Space Truckers campaign book adventures. We're getting a sequel with marines this time, wow.

2) A return of the cinematic Chariot of the Gods (possibly in an Evolved Edition). Finally, some will be able to get it as a stand-alone adventure. Some, like me (longtime fan and customer for 6 years), already have it, but for several members who have been asking for it for VTT, it's going to be like Christmas.

3) Space Truckers campaign book. I'm eager to see the campaign theme. It could be the Jeremiah Saga or another campaign theme.

4) There's another trilogy after the Jeremiah Saga (so, reading between the lines, it's going to be three adventures for the Jeremiah Saga). The subject of this new trilogy hasn't been discussed.

5) Evolved Edition Colonial Marines and Building Better Worlds are in development and design. That's great. Almost finished, wow. I don't know if they're talking about early 2027 (but it seems more like early 2026, so we'll hear about it soon).

6) Well, I did some more research on the Space Truckers campaign book. Lurker01 says that The Effekt Podcast (Dave Semark's podcast) confirms that Dave Semark is writing the 6-7 adventures of the campaign. It's excellent, with the same energy as Building Better Worlds.

Here's what the 9thpassenger (reddit) also says about the SPACE TRUCKERS...

Paul Elliot of Zozer Games does a lot of the writing for ARPG, specifically the tech side of things. He's worked on the Core Rule Book and both CMOM and BBW. I chatted with him over the summer while he was working out how to design Anchorpoint Station for the Space Truckers book. Very brief chat but he was hired by FL to do the front end of the book which by his own admission has been completed. He understands that another party (we are talking about Dave Semark) is working on the campaign section and that may still be a work in progress, but it is happening.

P.S. Reading between the lines, once again, I think Anchorpoint Station will be the home port for the Space Truckers, guys... with detailed plans of the station...

Thanks for the info, Lurker01.

Also as of a social media post in the last week - 2 weeks?, I forget the exact date but its recent - Jon Hicks announced he has turned in what he considers to be the final copy of Jerimiah Saga part 2 to FL. Fingers crossed we might see both that and Space Truckers by the end of the year.
* I checked the date - 13/03, Jon Hicks post on bluesky.
