February 2021 Status Update

Post by Tyrel Lohr »

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 having a version of the rules ready for public playtesting. I think those should be ready sometime in April 2021.

I'll send out an announcement once the rules are ready to download, and sticky a thread here on the forums for those that would prefer to discuss here rather than on the Discord.

The new VBAM rules will remain in playtest until we have the core books done this time (learning that lesson from 2E!). I already have the core notes for the Companion put together, and the Menagerie will no longer exist -- being replaced by a book of new empires called First Contact instead. The rules for creating your own empires will then move to the Companion proper.
