(Sorry, I'm old and waaaaaay past being 'down with the kids'!) MMO = Massively Multiplayer Online (often with RPG on the end, so MMORPG). TTRPG = Table-Top Role-Playing Game (as opposed to a videogame). Stick with me kid, and you'll learn the geekspeak!

Nicole 0 Posted September 17, 2019 Report Share Posted September 17, 2019 ComicCon Paris in October.... screening S4E1! Geoff, this wouldn't have anything to do with your BIG news, would it? Tickets for the whole weekend aren't actually that expensive, either (49 euro). I don't think I'll be able to go, as I'm pretty sure I'm booked up to be elsewhere - need to check. https://www.weezevent.com/comic-con-paris-25-au-27-octobre-2019 http://www.premiere.fr/Cinema/News-Cinema/Comic-Con-Paris-2019-Decouvrez-les-temps-forts-de-l-evenement Quote Link to post Share on other sites

A few weeks ago, we were musing about the possibility of a meet-up, and mooted a RAWunion in London if there were to be a Lycan signing. Nothing set in stone... not least because to my knowledge, such a thing doesn't even exist! So fear not, amica, there's nothing to miss out on. Yet! Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Merchandising yes, but hopefully well done and fun to share with friends? I hope you'll enjoy it and tell us if it's worth it. I enjoyed D&D during my studies so maybe I'll play the Expanse one day. Who knows. It started through a kickstater project, and I guess it was officialy approved, as James SA Corey wrote an exclusive short-story at the beginning of the rules book, as Goktor mentioned it. In any case, it's very complete and true to the spirit of the books and show so far. I still have some work to do though, and learn to be a proper game master If you want to take a look at it, here's the link to the publisher's website 21 hours ago, The Goktor said: One day, if we have a meet-up, we could all play together! Hi AI - pleased to meet you! I know exactly what you mean about work insanity; I run two businesses, and work seven days a week! Re. S4; I suspect that having visited Ilus, Naomi will beat a hasty retreat back into space... and her part of the story can carry on from there. I hope so, anyway! I would love it the short stories and novellas were adapted, especially The Churn and Strange Dogs. Be cool if they were done as web series. I haven't played the RPG yet but it's on my list. I suspect I may put it on my Christmas list. At least then I'll finally be able to read The Last Flight of the Cassandra! Be good to get back into RPGs again; until we went to live overseas, we used to have regular gaming weekends with friends. My favourite is Ars Magica... and not just because my partner authored some of it! (He's written a lot of RPGs; Ars, Vampire, Robotech, AD&D etc.) I have The Expanse board game - it's very cool. Need to get the Doors and Corners expansion! Wow, 2 businesses, that's impressive oO We'll see for Naomi, but at least, that will be a suprise even for those who've read the book And I saw that a board game existed, but never get the opportunity tu buy it... One thing at a time. And it would be great to play either of these games together at a RAWunion! 1 hour ago, Enaira said: Geoff, do I need to book my Thalys tickets like... right NOW ?

One thing at a time. Agreed. I love how closely to the books the series have been so far but I also love seeing how they differ. So far, it's been really well-done, and feels very natural, so just going on the trailer, it makes sense for Naomi, never having set foot on a planet before, to want to give it a go. TBH, if Naomi and Alex stay on the ground, and that whole space part cut from the series, I don't think the story would suffer at all. Obviously, I'd like to see everything included but practically, from a time and money perspective, I can completely see why it might not be feasible. The Investigator storyline is more important, and I can see that that would take up a fair chunk of the budget, plus, all the other stuff that's going on, planet-side. Really, to include everything, it would need to be two series! I really like that elements of the Ilus mythology (ancient Greek) have been incorporated into Cibola Burn - I hope they make it into the series. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Now let me be clear folks, when I say BIG news it means BIG news, like huge. Got full confirmation from Tom this morning but its not for general release yet. As soon as Im cleared I'll put it up ahead of anything going out in general publications but Im not sure when that will be so no holding breath you might go purple. But I do mean BIG.
