[QUOTE="Mongoose_Matt, post: 470235, member: 239"] Yes and no. What we do _not_ want is what we Games Workkshop fans call Codex escalation, where every new technology books makes the previous one obselete. What I want to concentrate on is the political side of things in terms of development, which will be driven by the novels. We will, of course, have technology-type supplements (there are just way too many good ideas flying around the office to squeeze them all into the rulebook!), but only have a major 'shift' or advancement in what is actually possible every year or so in real time. Basically, we are looking at the breadth of the setting, as opposed to its length, but there will be storyline advancements. I am well aware of the Spycraft site and it is certainly a possibility - we are planning a supercharged version for the game-that-can-still-not-be-mentioned (the real title is _way_ easier to type!), so elements of that design, which is being done in parallel with WarMech, may make it to the world of 2089.
