...but things are getting slightly off topic for this thread, so I've moved the last few posts to a new thread...

Just want to keep your thoughts about this new structure separate!

Sorry,

Marcus

What if you made the "Sample Adventure" smaller and gave it away as a promotion as the game releases. Generates the excitement in the game and allows new people to be introduced to the game while pulling back us old timers into the world. People are used to buying series of books to be ab...

Aha, that's the point I suppose. Trying to give value for money. I'd prefer to see every roleplayer in the world own a copy of DC rather than just the dedicated few. I feel that if I can make the game as cheap as possible, then we've every chance of that occuring. With this plan of action, I can see...

Hi All, Norm and I have been discussing the structure of the core rulebook and have come to some conclusions. Recently, I've been having a bit of a mental tug-of-war over the final size of the core rule book, and what can be done to ensure that it covers all of the material it needs to without blowi...

BTW, on the subject or art, I posted this in the admin forum recently -

Will you be keeping the small arms vs armour penetration rules? Have to admit I'm still not sure how much damage a 9mm pistol bullet (pen = nil) does when striking a flak jacket (AV:1). Is it none, or 1 point of trauma damage? Basically, yes. The actual number of dice damage rolled is reduced by Ar...

Question: Will PC/NPC stats be compatible with the new system? I know they have to change in the field of hit points and that 'mental' :x thing...but else? Should be almost 100% compatible. There will be some changes - an extra stat line for Aptitudes (the governing statistic for skills) and, of co...

I know a couple of your artists, so I'm certain that the art work in this new edition will be about 1000 times better than the previous two. That said, is there a particular piece for the new edition that you particularly like? A specific one we should all be on the look for? Well, first let me poi...

Thanks for your answers! More questions: Will the weapon stats remain the same or do I have to change all 75,484 handguns I have made for DC? Nope, all existing GDW stats will work prefectly well with the new STEP system. We will be modernising the weapons list (many with updated versions of their ...

And an other one: Will the printed version be as crappy as the last two? DC1 fell appart after opening the book while the pages in DC2 looked like cheap photocopies, on some pages the ink was even smeared so that the text was hardly recognizable. Not a big deal for die hard DC fans but could be a s...

Okay, new question. What do you think is the biggest change between this new edition and the previous iterations of DC? Hi there, Again, I'd say that this is a two part answer, and is divided between the mechanics and setting. For mechanics, I think the task resolution system (or STEP system as I'v...

What aspect of the new release would you say you are most proud of? Now that is a lot harder to answer. I suppose I can break it (my answer) into two really, how I feel about the changes to a) the rules and b) the style of the game. In regards to a), I think the new Damage Threshold system (for bot...

A lot! Well first of all, when will it be published Easy one, a PDF only version should be out by the end of June. We will then start the paper publishing cycle (should take 6 to eight weeks to get and review proofs, etc.). Hopefully this time will allow for feedback from the early pickup customers...

Hi All,

Is there anything anybody would like to know about the new 3rd Edition of DC?

I'm open to any and all questions here...

Marcus

Sorry to disappoint, but there really isn't anything new career wise in 3rd edition . In fact, the only major changes now occurs with the Military careers and the way in which you choose your branch and specialization. That said, there is a lot of scope for new careers and we hope to present some ex...
