I tried J+B and Soap, but neither ended up getting done. They still make some pretty good sigs, but J+B's gone now so try Soap, he's got a thread for them in artwork.
I've actually got your Pearl Jam 10 sig done, but my Western Digital time
machine blew up. Blame Steve Jobs and his fruit company.

:? Would you believe me if I said I had to uninstall MSOffice to make space so I could reinstall CS4? Don't worry, just blame the fruit company.

A new set of rules would, indeed, be good. My friends and I have been tinkering with the 2001/2005 rules for several years now (yes, I have only joined the 21st century upon joining this forum now, I admit it), and some... interesting problems have arisen.

My favorite one is still: what do you do when the Castlefigs (and the castle they're defending) is being annihilated by gigantic robot spider vehicles? My answer is get more Castlefigs or create Kamikaze Castlefigs.

Any ideas on an ETA for new rules? Likewise, will this be an online download once again or will this be available in a dead-tree form?

Currently scheduled for 2008.

I'm of two minds on the subject. There are big chunks of it done already, and big chunks still left to finish; I kind of don't want to release any of it until I have a final-draft candidate so that people don't miss minor changes between drafts.

Although, what I might do is release bits and pieces in the wiki or in the threads here so I can get feedback on some of the more controversial changes. The Charge rules got changed pretty substantially (hopefully they're actually useable now), and I finally hit on some Fire rules that I think are playable (but may be unbalancing because of the simplifications involved). I'm still weighing options.

Another thing I need to do is keep the first post in this thread better updated as the rulebook loadout evolves. Maybe I'll go work on that a little.

edit: nah, never mind. Instead I think I need to go over to the wiki and make a fancy dev update page like the one for dwarf fortress.

"scheduled" to come out in 2008... it's 2 years late...
To get a review on what changes are good and which are bad, why not just release it? Much like how people upload pictures of WIP MOCs.

Prove it by showing the link to it.
That is the only way to prove it.

A google search gives nothing, just some reviews.
Also since rayhawk said it's "too be released" it's impossible for it too have been released.
