Hoy, Captains!

 

It’s Ian here again with your monthly update! Everything is coming along well. Art continues to come in, and each piece looks better than the last. Some of the pieces are truly stunning and really capture the look and feel of The Expanse setting. 

 

One of my favorite aspects of The Expanse: Transport Union Edition is that we get to delve into some of the characters from the later books. I really enjoyed working with the artists to create portraits for each of these characters that are as accurate to the books as possible. There was a lot of good collaboration, and we even tweaked some of the originals to make them a little more “book accurate”. Each of the characters not only has a portrait, but a bio and stats based on books 5-6 of The Expanse series. The stats for Avasarala and the Roci crew have also been updated for that timeframe. 

 

The original core rulebook featured Chrisjen Avasarala and the crew of the Rocinante: James Holden, Amos Burton, Alex Kamal, Bobbie Draper, and Naomi Nagata. We have new art for each of these, and we’ve added a roster of new characters including: Fred Johnson (Head Administrator of Tycho Station), Winston Duarte (Martian traitor and future First Consul of Laconia), Michio Pa (Free Navy pirate who becomes the first (second?) president of the Transport Union) Clarissa “Peaches” Mao (Julie Mao’s sister), Camina Drummer (Chief of Security for Tycho Station and later president of the Transport Union). 

 

While we’re on the subject, here are the final portraits for all of the new characters:. I hope you love them as much as I do!

 

2025 marks Green Ronin’s 25th anniversary, and we’ll be having a lot of special events going on at Gen Con this year. You can find us at booth 101. (If you stop by, make sure to compliment Hal on the new Green Ronin logo.)

 

 Sadly, I won’t be there this year, but there will be Expanse games being run by Green Ronin staff. I believe they are currently sold out, but there are often no shows. Or, if you ask nicely, they might be able to squeeze in another player. You can find the complete list here

 

Before I go, I want to send out a big heartfelt thanks from myself and all of the crew at Green Ronin to everyone who helped out with the Go Fund Me to help us with our legal battle with Diamond Comics. If you want to learn more about this or see how things are going, you can check it out here.
 
Seriously! So many thanks. We couldn’t have stayed in this fight without the help. 
 
That’s all from me for now. Over and out.
