Update Time
So I was handed today the last two chapters of the rules sections by the game developer. As it stands now 8 out of 9 chapters are 100% complete with the last one due shortly. That means that this thing is soon out the door. I am getting really excited now (and extremely nervous).
Things are definitely falling into place. As soon as this is out the door to the printer, I will be posting our future plans. With that because this will have heavy PDF support, that side of development will be real fluid. I am open to suggestions and desires. By the end of the month I will be creating a public thread in our forums asking for suggestions and input about that. I should also be posting the print schedule by then as well.
Snippet time:
No Hell Without Hope
The world of Twilight: 2013 is a pretty grim place, as it should be. Life for the PCs should never be a picnic – but neither should it be so unrelentingly FUBAR that you wind up playing The Road Warrior rather than Twilight: 2013. As the GM, one of your goals is to convey the chaos and darkness of the setting to your players, but this needs to be balanced out by the understanding that non-stop darkness is not fun for most groups.
It is something of a fuzzy target, but an ideal session of Twilight: 2013 should be unnerving, tense and exciting (like a good thriller), not gruesome, brutal and frightening (like a good horror movie) – although moments of brutality are fair game. At the end of the day, role-playing is a leisure activity. Everyone in your group probably works or goes to school, and spending every Friday night mired in a world that crosses that fine line between "grim but exciting" and "everything sucks and I want to die" is the last thing they want to do.
It's minor, I know. But I didn't want to put too much out there. I am hoping though that in just a few weeks will be posting pre-orders and possibly a preview edition (tied into the pre-orders possibly). But I will know more within a week. So check back soon.
