Re: What has happened?
I've always enjoyed when I wander into the VBAM or MJ12 forums and find you've been active putting together new settings or playing through new campaigns, too!

Re: Using 1E CC NPE rules in 2E
Crossover campaigns were always fun, especially since it gave you a lot of source material to work with to flesh things out. I know once I get done with the heavy rules lifting for VBAM I want to get back to doing conversions of units so I can have my playbooks refreshed and updated for those kinds ...

Re: What has happened?
https://discord.com/ I have the client installed on my local PC and running pretty much 24/7. Makes it easier to connect and discuss things. The conversions can be a bit transient, admittedly, which makes web forums like this better for long term collation or reference, but for good rapid fire discu...

February 2021 Status Update
Just a quick status update for everyone wondering if VBAM has finally died or not. We've been working on a new rules revision pretty steadily since October 2020. I have to do some final testing and rewrites for the construction and space combat rules, but otherwise we are getting very close to havin...

Re: VBAM Discord
Just wanted to bump and remind everyone of the Discord! The forums here are probably better suited for long term campaign AARs and the like, but the Discord is great for rapid fire conversation. We've been making good progress on the rules updates over there. Some players have also started creating ...

Re: Using 1E CC NPE rules in 2E
Ouch! Yeah, having that many successor states show up kind of takes the wind out of your sails when you're trying to manage everything. I've had a lots of campaigns where after the big climactic war is over it's all falling action and there's not enough loose threads left to keep the momentum going....

Re: What has happened?
Yeah, like BroAdso said, the takeaway from 3E is that there were some larger foundational issues that really needed to be addressed in order to clean the rules up and get things working. That led to a protracted series of rebuilds and tear downs, breaking the rules into pieces and trying to isolate ...

Re: Using 1E CC NPE rules in 2E
Sorry for the delay - for some reason my alerts didn't work and I didn't see this post :( To answer your question, the 1E NPE rules should work just fine with 2E as there were not significant enough changes between the two editions as far as the things that the NPE's interact with (since they were m...

Changes Incoming
With the Forums software upgrade, I am going to begin reworking the organization here on the forums to make it more in line with the direction that we're taking the game and company. That means putting our primary focus on Victory by Any Means and working to build the framework for better future dis...

phpBB Upgraded
Due to an impending server software upgrade, I had to upgrade the forums software, too, to prevent it from exploding into a fiery ball of death.

Hey Kaiww, while I don't have time to play I would love to hear how the campaign goes as it progresses! AAR are always fun!

Re: Inter-planetary/small interstellar campaign setting concepts
Be sure to post links to your new Starmada supplements over here somewhere when you get them finished! Even those that don't include any VBAM content would still probably be of interest to everyone. I always enjoyed your SX books

Re: Any life in the old girl?
All of the planned 2E content will be rolled up into whatever the new version becomes. Which is looking to be more of a cleaned up 1E given that I effectively went back to 1E to create the development "fork" for this new set of rules. All of the 2E content should be applicable to 1E, so I ...

Re: Any life in the old girl?
Maybe once a new set of playtest rules are completed it might be worth pushing, but the fact is that only the die hards are left here and the Patreon is more to invest in new content and not a "product" in its own right, so it feels disingenuous to panhandle to the wider VBAM customer base...
