Anyone has any news on Rachel E.S. Walton’s The Long Orbit? This was supposed to be a stand-alone MH’s hack. I don’t think there has been any news on this for about a year or so. Hopefully Rachel is still planning on Kickstarting this.
PS: I’m crossposting this post with the Powered by the Apocalypse G+ community.
(Answered on the PbtA community, but I’ll post here too.)
Hello! I’m alive and fine! <3
I have been rather inactive here for the last few months, but I’m looking to get back into the swing of things more. I just came from the game convention Dreamation and ran The Long Orbit there for the first time in a while – it’s much easier to get back into the headspace of what still needs to be done on it after seeing it in action again. 😀 It doesn’t need major work in terms of game play and game design, but it does need work in terms of layout and writing up instructions and more art before I shove it towards a publisher or Kickstarter, which is daunting, but not at all impossible. I’m going to prioritize it for the next couple of months and see if I can get a lot of that done. Thank you for asking! <3
Good news indeed! I’ll happily wait for news on this 😀
Thank you!
Does it really need more? The version I ran at Fastaval was perfectly servicable and very easy to read and run.
Tore Vange From what I gathered from an interview, those versions used at conventions are based on a specific scenario and not the entire game. The game will be (or at least I REALLY hope so) a stand-alone hack of MH, meaning a full game with lots of customisation etc. For example, there will be three variations on theme: Body Horror, Psychological horror, and…something else I forget at the moment. What “went wrong” is also customisable (given the three variations) and I also expect customisation of the ship, etc (please please please?).
