Quote from: Dirk Remmecke;894057That said, I always wanted to buy HardNova ][ in print. But small press games such as this are not in distribution.
Last year I was very happy to find a German online store that claimed to have a copy. Turned out that it was a mistake on their side...

Actually, most of our titles are available via Ingram book trade distribution, as well as Amazon US, Canada, UK, France, Germany, Italy, and Spain - and as 3rik pointed out, via Book Depository with free worldwide shipping.

Brett, now that you're here anyway, do you have any plans for Two-Fisted Tales?

Funny you should mention it. I should have a manuscript for a new edition in a few months and the new cover is almost done. Changing the logo and feel of style of the game.

Any "issues" in particular that you want to address with this new edition?

Well, the abilities are being standardized a bit more. Some super powers are being added. Just a general tightening up of everything. And wait until you see the new cover and logo.

Are you using the same artwork as in the current edition?

They'll be in there, but so will new art. Totally new rocking cover.

I'll have to see if it's worth picking up once it's done as I already own the current version in print and as far as I've noticed it's perfectly serviceable. I also have the 2FT cards. Will those work just the same with the new edition?

2FT is a great but unfortunately highly underappreciated pulp game, by the way. It deserves more love.

I believe so, but I won't be sure until I get around to editing the manuscript.

Well, as long as the current cards also work with the new edition. I don't fancy having to get a new set of cards as well.

Since all you need is regular playing cards, even if the wordage changes a little, they will still work in that sense

Quote from: Dirk Remmecke;894057I've got one beef with the ImPresa/GenreDiversion/Active Exploits family of games: The selection of stats. There's just one physical stat (Fitness), and four stats for mental/soft abilities (Awareness, Creativity, Reasoning, and Influence).

I think that's really the one thing that makes the game different from a lot of other systems.
