This is a site for discussing roleplaying games. Have fun doing so, but there is one major rule: do not discuss political issues that aren't directly and uniquely related to the subject of the thread and about gaming. While this site is dedicated to free speech, the following will not be tolerated: devolving a thread into unrelated political discussion, sockpuppeting (using multiple and/or bogus accounts), disrupting topics without contributing to them, and posting images that could get someone fired in the workplace (an external link is OK, but clearly mark it as Not Safe For Work, or NSFW). If you receive a warning, please take it seriously and either move on to another topic or steer the discussion back to its original RPG-related theme.

ANyone play this one?  saw no reviews of it on rpg.ney, which might mean it's players are all banned from there or don't want to sullie themselves posting reviews on it.

I thought MJD let the license lapse?

Ad Astra games is supposed to be doing one, but it is hung up with approvals.
Hither came Conan, the Cimmerian, black-haired, sullen-eyed, sword in hand, a thief, a reaver, a slayer, with gigantic melancholies and gigantic mirth, to tread the jeweled thrones of the Earth under his sandalled feet.

There is some kind of Honor Harrington boxed set at my FLGS.  Is it an RPG or a minis game or a board game?  I'll have to check it out come Monday, when I'm up there.  

Does anyone want it?  I'll snap a pic while I'm there and post it here when I get home.

That is the Saganami Tactical Sim board/minis game. I have that sitting on my shelf.

I'd had the impression that ad astra had done it, maybe not.

I've seen those discussed on Starship Combat News, and I can't wait to get my hands on 'em. I'm a big fan of Weber's "Honorverse" books.

As far as I know, there is no RPG. The Saganami Island Tactical Simulator is a minis game. Go here for more info: http://www.star-ranger.com/SITS.htm

4e definitely has an Old School feel. If you disagree, cool. I won\'t throw any hyperbole out to prove the point.

they were supposed to do it and at one point it sounded like it would be out soon, but now things have completely stalled to the point where it could just as well be a dead project.

When it comes right down to it, just about any generic or scifi themed RPG could handle this setting, at least as far as everything but the starship combat is concerned. Well, maybe not any scifi themed RPG; Star Wars and Star Trek RPGs (any iteration) are generally tailored to their settings in such a way that they wouldn't make a good fit for the Honorverse.

The main concern for a game like this would be the space combat system and how PCs would fit into it.

AFAIK there's been no official word on the status of the Traveller d20 based Honor Harrington RPG, at least from QLI. No idea about Baen. From it no longer showing up on the QLI top navigation bar and no mention I assume it's at least on a very long delay if not dropped completely.

Ad Astra is working on a D6 Legends based Honor Harrington RPG which will have a page or two in the back to use with D6 Classic.

Ad Astra Games Worlds of Honor RPG section. Looks like it's going through playtest currently. The plan is to have 2 core books, a rule book and a setting book.
