What's OLD is NEW

Yeah, I'll be commissioning lots and lots of really awesome art. I love commissioning art - one of my favourite types of email is when an artist sends in their work and the thing you saw in your head is right there in front of you.

I just spent two hours writing about stellar classifications. Who says RPGs can't educate?

Presuming that these are big successes, can we expect splatbooks in the vein of "What's L.E.S.S. is M.O.R.E."?

Hah! Let's not count our chickens before they're hatched!

The last hour was spent on travel speeds.

And Claudio Pozas has just confirmed that his schedule is mainly free for 2014. Hopefully we'll fill that entire schedule with two hardcover rulebooks!

Is this a computer RPG? A tabletop RPG? Some sort of cross-games social media venture? I have no idea from that site.

Books. The first image up is of books with, "O.L.D. the Roleplaying Game," and, "N.E.W. the Roleplaying Game".

Books do not say, "social media venture" or "computer RPG".

man, I wish my brain's attempt to solve the acronyms hadn't hit "N.exus E.arth W.oo-woo" and decided it was done for the morning.....

It's pretty concept art...for something. Is this a computer RPG? A tabletop RPG? Some sort of cross-games social media venture? I have no idea from that site.

"Ah. But you HAVE heard of me..."

Drat. This is sounding like a specified setting / Tech level. TBH I was hoping for more a toolkit, ala d20 modern, without d20's painfully cLuNkY character creation / level / skill / feat system.

Actually, it's more flexible than you think. Your setting can't necessarily use all of those speeds. If that's a "master list" which covers all universes, you choose where your setting falls. I really hope this leads to 3rd party settings. I have an awesome chart of sub-light travel times, too (we're talking arks and generation ships at that tech level).
