1. FYI i am using the 1.1 rules.

2. Which game are you running? Or is it not decided yet?

3. You don’t have the 2.1 rules? They are quite different. I was creating an add-on that I had to entirely redo because the rules were so different. If you have the updated rules (which you get when you backed via kickstarter) I recommend using them.

4. Group is interested in US, but we only have the 1.1 rules. None of us backed it. 🙁

   And we might be running it in a space station. Lol.

5. Is the 2.0 version better, or just more cleaned up?

6. 2.1 has been greatly re-written. Most of the basic moves have changed, new xp system, all of the playbooks have been re-written.

7. Hello Rich Glover. The 1.1 rules are definitely playable as is, but the official release rules are quite different, we really gave it a serious overhaul. If you’d like to get your hands on the final rules, you can purchase a pre-order from this link, contact me directly, and I will send them to you.

   Thanks a bunch!

8. Oh, and as for your original question. I’d say the secret to MC-ing any game is being open to plot you didn’t plan for. Let the players create the storyline through character creation, ask them loads of questions about their lives, allies, enemies, frenemies, etc. It’ll all start to form faster than you’d think. Then just throw them into the middle of something, see what they do with it. 😀

9. There is not a digital only version? I don’t really use “real books” anymore.

10. Oh good point Rich, I completely forgot we don’t have a PDF option on there. I think it’s too late to make that change. You’ll have to wait until the official release and pick up the digital copy then. I’m sorry about tease.
