Hello
So a quick update regarding progress, currently two things are happening at the moment, the first is the design of the new Operator Creation rules, this will be more organic, it will show the path that your operator took to becoming a Ghost. The reason it is changing is due to the country of origin having really no mechanical effect on the operator, you can still choose your country but now the creation process will focus on the root you took from Tier 3 to Tier 1 and beyond.
The second is going through the books and deciding what to keep, update or remove. As this is the Ultimate Edition I am looking at including rules from the expanded books and some of the source books. The rules will not be changing very much from the original (mainly tweaks), but there will be more, making the game much more rounded and covering most of the situations the operators will find themselves.

My current projection for release is currently end of October, which is two months earlier than expected, I would rather get the book out early or on time than late. Of course life has its way of throwing curve balls so this may change but currently that is my projection.

I am currently looking at two production changes, I am considering not doing the off-set printed book in faux leather, mainly because it looks a bit tacky, so I am looking at keeping the book simple with embossing, but much hardier to deal with lots of use. The second consideration is a deck of cards, what these will offer is not only a quick way for a Handler to come up with side missions, but also encounters and even unique Info that the operators could find, creating new avenues for future or diverting the current op. If I decide to go the card route then every backer of the Off-set printed book will receive a deck and all over backers will receive a print and play deck in the Handlers Kit.

The Store is still open for those followers that missed the campaign, so please check it out, otherwise that is the end of the update.

Stay Frosty
