Message: <blockquote data-quote="Mike Myler" data-source="post: 6294468" data-attributes="member: 6726030">Wow what a response! I'm glad to see that other folks are as excited about this as I am! <img src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f600.png" class="smilie smilie--emoji" loading="lazy" width="64" height="64" alt=":D" title="Big grin    :D"  data-smilie="8"data-shortname=":D" />For a little bit of background on me you can check out <a href="http://www.mikemyler.com" target="_blank">my website</a>, but in a nutshell: I'm a full-time freelance game designer and I've got contracts with over a score of companies (both digital and traditional), including Fantasy Flight Games' Tome of Decay and AdventureAWeek.com's 3.5 D&D/Pathfinder mega-adventure Rise of the Drow. Morrus has already given me some trial runs for EN Publishing with Tip of the Tongue (which I'm told has a thread on these forums somewhere?) and To Stake a Vampire (which I'm finishing the first draft of tonight).I've been watching O.L.D. and N.E.W. carefully, expecting the OGL license to come up. This is a fantastic RPG system and I'm literally beside myself with excitement over the idea of expanding it into N.O.W.!Thank you Bawylie! I've been watching this Kickstarter continue to rise and knew he was going to run out of stretch goals...N.O.W. will be awesome. I spent my time at university studying the literary aspects of film and one of my favorite genres has always been action movies. The field is so ripe for harvest!Morrus has it precisely—nothing is written in stone yet. We've kicked around a few different ideas and they're all really enticing. At this point we're confident that what N.O.W. brings to the table will both integrate right into O.L.D. and N.E.W. easily, but still bring a very spectacular element to the whole affair that defines it as something special.Yes please.One of the things that we've definitely touched on a few times in our discussions thus far is the inclusion of agencies of some sort, because obviously spies are going to play a part in this (Bond!). How inclusive that is can't be said yet, but they definitely have a place in N.O.W.!An expanded martial arts section sounds like an excellent idea and is another thing I'm well suited to tackle; if Morrus has no objections, that is definitely getting rolled into the plans for right now.Gadgets and new equipment of all sorts are planned, but specifically I'm looking to trick out the basic vehicle section; if you don't want a starship but you do want a sweet tank or pitched chase sequences through the jungle in jeeps (or for that matter, the urban jungle!) that's already in the works. <img src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f600.png" class="smilie smilie--emoji" loading="lazy" width="64" height="64" alt=":D" title="Big grin    :D"  data-smilie="8"data-shortname=":D" />That's been included in my designs from the start! High level corporate espionage and obscenely brutal business tactics are certainly finding a place in N.O.W.!Thank you all for your interest in hitting this stretch goal—please help us hit it! N.O.W. needs to happen, well, now!</blockquote>
