KU Relaunch - Do you want to be involved?
« on: February 24, 2018, 04:17:30 PM »

Knightmare and myself have been talking over the last few weeks about how we can get the KU going again in a manageable way, and the plan is to tell all the story there is to tell before even considering running the game again. What that means is completing the Field Reports and other KU Sourcebooks, whilst re-releasing the story chapter by chapter, and writing the fiction that got left behind.

That gives us a pretty big pot of releases to start with, 50+ chapters and 4 sourcebooks, once we start the full relaunch on the 11th of March, so that should keep the fans happy as new material is developed.

What we want to do is recruit a crew to work with us in pulling together the KU story from early 3025, through the 4th Succession War to late 3026, the time jump, and the events of 3032. The best thing about the KU is working with a great team and having a great time doing it, so being able to do that again is what we really want to do.

We want to put together a team of people who like to write, have an eye for detail and like working in a collaborative team, where we all feed of each other's ideas. We have set things up to make life easy on everyone and though there is a framework, as ever in the KU, good ideas from everyone will get used.

So if you would like to be part of this, help us tell the story of the KU through fiction and sourcebooks for a while, and bash around in the KU with us again, please let me know.

You can email me at mattacma@gmail.com where I look forward to hearing from you.

Yours in tearing the Inner Sphere apart

You know there is something wrong with the FWL, when Word's spell check changes Impavido to Impetigo and Zechetinu to Secretion.

So - there's a KU, and a KU group, and the framework is under construction for us to begin contributing.  Ok, as newbie, what should I know and start doing?

The KU group here were/are players from the former game. Not much needed there...

I'd take a gander at some of the previously published .PDFs, but that's about it right now...

Red Pins, the Dropbox folder link I sent you will be more than enough to get you started.
