    Supplemental Rules

    Steve,

    I finally picked up a copy of Alien Wars this weekend (FLGS finally got stock back in). While reading through it, a question started brewing in the back of my mind.

    What are the possibilities of DOJ releasing a supplemental pub, either in print, or PDF; free or paid, that included the few pages of optional rules gathered from the different source/world/campaign books? Not all the background and source material for the various settings, but just the new skills/talents/perks etc. and optional combat rules.

    At this point, pretty much zero. For one thing, those rules are a key selling point for the books, and we'd like to keep it that way; for another, there's not enough of that stuff for a printed book, and we've seen that PDFs don't sell so well; for a third, when possible I'd rather create new stuff than just recycle old stuff.

    But I won't say never. At some point the idea may prove attractive.

    Cool. Maybe one day during a Resource Guide reprint. It would certainly save me from hauling 40 lbs of books to my gaming sessions

    Plus, remember they've gotta keep some stuff available for consolidating into Sixth Edition.

    Is it possible to get just a listing of the "new" rules? Maybe just their name and where the descriptions are located (what book)?

    Not from us, no; we don't maintain any such list.
