Love the setting.  Love the rule set, even if it is super crunchy.  But, when is new stuff coming out?

I mean the forums are still up and the main page is as well, so I assume that mean MSL is still in business, but come on, we need some news.  Good or bad, we’re grown ups we can take it.

Agreed!  Character generator? new books? anything?

Hey there gang,

Agreed, some official news would be good.
But in the meantime, here’s my understanding of things (take it with a grain of salt).

From a rulebook perspective, I know that the equipment guide and the Prelude to War are still in progress.
From a fiction perspective, there is the possibility of a new collection of short stories in the works.
From a tools/generator perspective, not sure what’s going on there.

Basically, I know some of the contributors are working very hard to get material in and that those of us in the Wardens are poised to beta the material.
But since I don’t have a direct line to the “powers that be”, I can’t give the most recent info.
Most of what I know is from discussions at GenCon, so even my insights might be behind the curve.

OF course, if I learn more, I’ll share!

The NWSEC domain (http://www.nwsecom.com) has lapsed, which is troubling. I hope this isn’t a sign that the game has officially been abandoned.

NWSEC was a community site, not one run by Mind Storm Labs I believe. It seems the individual maintaining it let the DNS lapse. I hope they get it back up soon.

While I would love to believe that, it’s linked prominently from the front page and mostly contained official MSL content. I’m just glad I kept local copies of all the data I put in.

Curious.

It would be unfortunate that something terrible happened to this franchise, but then… the RPG biz is rough. I’ve seen a lot of good RPGs bite the dust.
