so, um, a quick question about your affiliates

[Dukoth]

is that the right word, I hope it is anyway, the one called manufactorum; what does a company that paints tabletop miniatures have to do with a computer space-rpg game, this has really been bugging me since march

They've done some early modelling work for us and we're actually working out an idea with them for a tabletop version of Starpoint Gemini setting. It's in very VERY early stages. We're taking our time since the computer game comes first . I hope this answers your question.  Well... actually I might as well ask... what do you think about the idea of a tabletop Starpoint Gemini?

That sounds interesting Dorijan, there is a table top game based on Elite Dangerous also in the works. There is no denying that these games still have a following. There is even (two I think) Games Workshop stores here in Glasgow that sell nothing else. Yes, they are still popular.

yeah, I'm definitely for a tabletop game, me and my friend are putting together a game room with a 6' by 4' table for such games

Are we talking like Warhammer style wargaming or more DnD and traveller roleplaying?

[Pinback]

Interesting idea for expanding the SPG universe.

@ Darkmaster923 , I would assume it's more like Battlefleet Gothic (RIP) , although a space-based tabletop game focusing on individual ships rather than fleets would make for a unique game (all the others that I know of are fleet base strategy games)

Two most promising so far are fleet-fights in Warhammer style with card-based customization of each ship. And the second option is more "zoomed out", something like a tabletop 4X. As I said, very early

Well... actually I might as well ask... what do you think about the idea of a tabletop Starpoint Gemini?Hi Dorijan, i like that idea - but maybe a pc version of that tabletop game first - you know lack of friends with same interests within 100km...would it be something like that real ol' "renegade legion interceptor" ? (got the amiga version - it was also a conversion of a tabletop game)it was basically a squad based game ie max 6v6 fighterstyle ships that can be purchased or designed from scratch using a kind of requisition points that pilots earned in their carrer (and also some pilot & gunnery ratings)here my fancy name for it:Starpoint Gemini Wing Commander *duck&cover* from the incoming cease&desist letters

If we have the rules and the ships and the general setting and so on... sure, why not make a more strategy oriented game . Of course, it all depends on the available time and as always... finances. There's a whole lot we want to do. We'll see what we get around to actually doing :DStarpoint Gemini - Wing Commander First contact - Starcraft edition... just to cover all bases of potential law suits
