Hey guys,

Over on Heresy we've teamed up with Wayland Games to bring a fresh and exciting skirmish wargame to your tabletop.

All the information can be found here but in brief we're looking to form a small team of elite gamers, artists and writers to help bring this ambitious idea to fruition.

from your blurb it sounds like the system will be quite similar to Brushfire. Best of luck to you guys, make sure to do lots of playtesting.

Damnit, if I didn't already have too many things to do I'd love to work on this. :(

Seeing as this is obviously going to be a long term project, I will keep an eye on how it develops and maybe apply to help in 4 or 5 months.

Will you guys also be doing the models?

Haha wayland corporation ;P

I'll keep an eye out on development sounds dope.

If you need some character concept and promotional art (I don't draw scenery, however), I could possibly be bothered to help. PM me if you would like to see some sample work.

I love the idea pm me if you need some fluff ideas

I would love to help out with some of the fluff. I can show you some sample stuff if you want. PM me if your interested.

Just a quick update guys to say I've received your emails and will be sorting through them over the next few days to find the guys who I feel can contribute the most to the project.

Please if you have samples or anything you'd like me to look over shoot me it over via email as I won't be using PM's on here or any other board.

It isn't too late if you feel you have what it takes.

Lastly guys, this is for love not money. We have an increbibly small budget and cannot afford to pay.

I think my dA gallery is linked to in my sig if you want some ok-ish artwork done

Also don't mind bouncing some ideas.

i may possibly lend a hand in this depending on how long it takes to get my own game up and running

I look forward to helping out with the vehicle rules.

As for minis I believe that special Characters may be done at some point but for now the aim is to make a ruleset slightly more advanced than 40K.

This looks like tons of fun as well as being how I spend most of my time now (making up new systems). Let me know if I can help.

I was interested until they said this "Detail equals good, constant simplification equals bad…"

Sorry, but that's a philosophy of game design I cannot agree with. Anything that can be abstracted should be. Detail is only good when it contributes something that absolutely cannot be rolled into anything else.

Good sirs and madams of this most incredible oppurtunity that has arisen. I, nicknamed Runna, as for the Warboss that always fails his leadership tests in my constant 40k struggles, am a writer. I have been a writer for a long time, and I LOVE to write games. Let me work for you, I'll give you naything you need as proof of my abilities, I currently have a posted codex of a dwarf army for the 40k universe I'm proposing to the warhammer world to show off how quick I can adapt to ideas and am willing to edit and am open to criticism of my work. The race is called Dwellars that posted team is called Planet Crackers, I would really love a response from you, and I may have replied too quickly as I can be hasty at times but am easily leashed. Let me gander at the rest of this post and make sure my reply was applicable to your question. Remember me, the one who will show the quickest and most inter-changeable results to date. I want to make revolutionary games, I want to assist in design and bring stories to life more than anything. Please contact me as soon as you can.
-Runna

I second Runna as a professional writer and game rules designer. I game with him regularly and seeing as he's just moved into 40k he's taken into it with gusto and already has new ideas and schemes. Playing his orks can be hell he has em so down pat haha. He has developed a quick action version of DnD amongst others. He is professional and hardworking. couldn't ask for more. Hes your man!

Just to keep everyone up to date we've now set up hosting, added a development forum and sent out invites to everyone that applied.


Thanks for reading and keep your eyes peeled for the game

We have a very basic WIP outline of the basic system now.

Despite this we're keen for some more input if you wouldn't mind having a look.

I'd offer to help, but I'm far too into 40k. I keep promising myself I'll branch out into FoW or WFB, but then I see my Ork and Imperial Guard armies taht I still need to paint or bring up to 2k points...

Heh, thats the beauty of this game.

All we're doing is writing rules for use with miniatures from any other game system.

People will be able to take their favourite figures from any 28-32mm range and convert them up for use in Rogue Planet.

Perhaps Space Beatmen or Space Lizardmen have alwasy tickled your fancy?

We're leaving it wide open for player interpretation - it'll be a converters dream with all the "character" style team member and vehicles.

Double post..

The first WIP rules PDF is available now guys.

It's very much a "trial" piece which is being revised and altered all the time to fit observations we make during playtesting.

If anyone wants to come along to see whats happening or to help out be my guest
