Up periscope - Begin Data Transmission: ------------

Often in the early part of the week I post something KMotC-related that I have been working on, a datafile, a world description or some rulesy-thingy. This week, I have not been doing that sort of work, but I have got something to talk about.

If you missed the announcement, you may be interested to know that Chris Rutkowsky, writer and designer of the RPGs  BASH-Ultimate Edition, BASH-Sci Fi, BASH Fantasy, and Honor & Intrigue, and Owner of Basic Action Games, has just endorsed Skirmisher Publishing making BASH-SF the official system for Knights-Marshal of the Commonwealth!

I am excited as Hell!

I love the BASH system for its smooth integration of simplicity and crunch, its evocative yet flexible rule set, and its ease of use. I can create fully-realized characters in minutes, Run fast, exciting combats, our cool role-playing encounters, each with lots of opportunity for the players to make their characters shine. I have introduced a number of people to the game over the years, and it has become something of a staple for our home gaming group.

OK, commercial endorsement over. What I actually want to boast about, glory in, and generally writhe around on the floor surrounded by happy thought-gerbils with, is that Skirmisher publishing, d-Infinity and I get to work with the BASH-SF 'Ultimate-Edition-in-the-Making' - to write the best possible Knights-Marshal of the Commonwealth setting and support books that we can. Chris Rutkowsky has just forwarded to me the working docs for the Ultimate Sci Fi edition, not yet in print, so that Skirmisher is working with state of the art BASH.

So my next task is to digest all of the awesome, so that Skirmisher can make that happen! Then lots more writing, and teasers in the early parts of weeks yet to unfold, as touched upon above.
