    Well I got to wait in my next paycheck Henry, but I can see kicking 90 bucks toward this project. Maybe more but that’s what I can afford for now. Looks really cool too bad I got to wait until 2016, but that’s the breaks. \":(\" Good luck with this.

    Hello,

    I put 2016 for the release date given that every single KS I have ever run or backed has been a bit late, I figured I would give some extra room for it to be published.

    I’m sure not too many people will complain if it gets sent out early. \":-)\"

    BTW – You do know that even if you pledge today, you won’t be charged until December 2nd?

    Thank you for your (future) support.

    Just to be clear do you need a copy of the CoC 7th ed rules to play this or will the rules be incorporated in the PCI books?

    Hello Michael,

    We can’t copy the entirety of the rules in C:SA, but small summaries of the basics will be included. However, technically you do need the 7th Edition rules.

    Thanks for clarifying that. As far as I can tell from a quick web search the actual 7th ed rules are not out yet. There are some quick start rules available on the Chaosium site, but that’s all I could find. It sounds like the rules may be out soon though from a quick read of their message board. Have you heard anything you can comment on Henry?

    Hello,

    I was a backer of their 7th Edition CoC Kickstarter and have received numerous updates. Among them is one saying saying that the final PDFs would be out in a week or two, with the books following as soon as they arrive from the printer.

    So yes, the new rules will be out by the time C:SA is available.

    Thanks Henry. I think I’ll see about picking up a print edition of the new rules when they come out.

    Not sure if it fits, but as I was reading the book outline I kept thinking that I could take the movie Prometheus and with a few tweaks turn it into a C:SA adventure. I also noticed the reference to Synths, does that mean we can play or have as NPCs “androids” like David from Prometheus, Ashe from Aliens, or Bishop from Alien (hope I got the last two right from memory)? Anyhow this looks like it could be a really cool game.

    Those movies certainly were an inspiration and such characters are possible, should your Keeper wish to use those rules.

    Since there’s good chance I will run the game you can bet Synths will be there. \":twisted:\" Be interested to see how they are affected by the sanity rules as opposed to normal humans.

    Ha, just read the flash fiction so I see how they’re affected. And it ain’t pretty \";)\" Man I want to play/run this game. I could do this with Eclipse Phase, but the CoC system sounds easier to wrap my head around. Even though I suspect/fear many of the aspects of the Eclipse Phase “future” will come to pass. \":(\"
