So the question has been asked: What's next? What's coming around GENCON time? When will it stop snowing in Pittsburgh? [OK, so maybe Chris is the only one on the board that wants to know that right now ;D]
But what is there to be excited about in the next year coming from Darkson Designs?
Quite a lot actually.
For starters, we are busting our butts to get the next AE-WWII expansion out this year. A big player in next few expansions will be revealed with the "Historic List" in October. If not sooner. There's a lot in development and the next couple of OTW's are going to be large. As in, 10 or more pages for AE-WWII and 10 or more pages for AE: Bounty. So be sure to check back in April for the first double issue.
As for what specific area of WWII will be covered in the next expansion, that is going to be kept close for a little while longer. But the theaters of war we're working on include Europe, Africa and Asia. The contents of the next four books are pretty well laid out. The factions for the next expansion are being play tested right now. The factions for the expansion after next are set and will be ready for play testing soon.
How big is the game going to get? What's included in the next few books? Well, we have the next 22 or so faction lists laid out, and the rules and details for 16 of those lists are in good working order. Models and art are under development.
The plan is to do a lot more talking about the future once Bounty is out to everyone.
And let me just say, the Bounty book is sweet. Picking a crew and selecting the units and heroes in Bounty is kind of like creating characters in a role-playing game. Lots options and ways to customize your guys. The OTW issues for Bounty add some characters from the fringe of the known galaxy. We hope you like them too.
Post your questions about what you specifically want to know in this thread. The crew is swamped right now, but feel free to point questions at any one of us. We'll answer the questions we can answer when we can.
All The Best,
The Darkson Designs Crew
