In fact, most of the sections in this book are closer to done than the sections in IO. ‘But wait, won’t that mean another big delay to get to this book?’ At the same time, it provides a smaller book that can be used when building and running forces, building OpFor and so on. It allows Interstellar Operations to remain absolutely focused on what we’ve seen the community most commenting on for this book-the Alternate Eras (one of my own personal favorites) and the final rules that stage up to allow any level of play. You’ll note where the focus of this book is directed…straight at building and running a force and all that entails (including finding a print home for the much-loved Chaos Campaign rules not linked to a given Era, Solar System Construction rules for fleshing out planets to run games on, and so on). Here is the final book that will encompass all the extra material:Ġ1 / 02 Introduction / Universe Introduction (6 pp)Ġ5B Large OpFor Creation Rules (Tentative 20 pp)Ġ6B Roles/Force Building/Special Abilities (Tentative 16 pp) But I believe what we’re doing will once again be well worth the wait and the extra book. Hopefully most of you are smiling at my inability to keep things small…though if you’re upset, you have every right as well.

We don’t want to wrap up the last of these rulebooks and have it be a bad proposition for everyone. And those are just too expensive to print. Even if we went in and stripped out fiction and everything else, it’ll still be a 500+ page book. What does that mean? It means what you think it means. ‘Wait, there’s sections missing!’ I hear you saying. And as usual, Alex is kicking it crazy time. In other words, there’s a fair bit of tweaking and perhaps some surprises likely to come, but you can see it’s well on its way. Note the composition of the various characters along the top may change (and we’ll talk about who they are perhaps at a later point). Third, I’ve included an early sketch for the cover of Interstellar Operations. Interstellar Operations Beta – Abstract Combat System Second, as you can see noted above, the Abstract Combat System is now up for Open Beta Test! And we hope to have another section up shortly after this!

Instead, this is simply all about to the future and I can say absolutely this book will publish next year.įirst, we’ve got the current thumbnail outline below, which includes where it’s at in process:Ġ3B Strategic BattleForce (90% written, 8 pp)Ġ4B Abstract Combat System (In Open Beta Test, 16pp)Ġ5B Inner Sphere at War (90% written, 80 pp)Ġ7 Reference & Record Sheets/Compiled Tables (9 pages) However, it’s there for the delving into if readers want to dig into that. I know, I know…I feel like the boy that called ‘rulebook!’ And I could go into the myriad of reasons for the delay of this final rulebook (and have numerous times in past blogs).
