Ostensibly a remake of the original Wing Commander with newer graphics, the games' smattering of familiar fighters has much confusing crossover with ship models used in very different roles throughout Privateer and Armada. RIPĢ015.084 (March 25, 2015) SM1.5 Campaign Ported to PC with New Modding Techniquesįans have long been intrigued by the differences posed by Super Wing Commander. Our guest as Jack Cohen, and it was an experience worth repeating. I fondly remember our last dinner in London. I have not seen him since his illness, because I have not been to Britain in many years. Wing Commander and its sequel Privateer were amusing interludes between the torrent of pages. He get addicted to it, but far from slowing his legendary output he produced even more. I showed him Wing Commander, he liked it, and I gave it to him as a present, remarking that this was a cheap way to slow the competition. One day he was in Hollywood negotiating a movie, and came over for lunch. After that he wrote at a prodigious pace. He said it made think, why be miserable when we have civilization. He had gone into survivalist mode when he read Lucifer’s Hammer, and came to the scenes where the survivors are discussing the old civilization. There's quite a few writers out there that share our passion for the series, and it was prominent sci-fi author Jerry Pournelle that got the prolific novelist into the series. The internet has done a much better job memorializing him than we could, but we would like to take a moment to kindly acknowledge him as a fellow Wing Commander fan. The artist I hope to hire to do the cover art for the project is none other than Denis Loubet.ĭiscworld author Terry Pratchett passed away two weeks ago. Rather, the goal of the campaign is to fund the artwork that will appear in it. That's a good question with a simple answer: the purpose of the Kickstarter project is not to fund the development of the campaign guide itself. One final and unique feature of the guide will be a Kilrathi lexicon.Īlright - so this is a game, right? Why is this on Kickstarter under Art Projects? The module will include enough additional data that player groups will be able to develop their own adventures within the setting. The main campaign will has a total of 44 individual adventures planned, though it is structured such that only 16 of these missions comprise the main plot. The main plot-line of the campaign will chronicle the activities of N'Ryllis's group, the Demon's Eye Pack, as they attempt to re-build Kilrathi society. The campaign tells the story of Krahtagh "Bloodeye" N'Ryllis, a Kilrathi pirate whose demise is chronicled in the documentation of Wing Commander: Prophecy. In addition to the campaign setting, a pre-published full-sized campaign will be included. It is intended to be the WCRPG system's first full-fledged campaign setting, set in the year 2680 in a region of space known as Epsilon Sector. Whether or not you intend to ever role play, getting one of the original Wing Commander artists to build a brand new creation in 2015 is certainly something we can get behind!

Rather, it's a collaboration with famous Origin artist Denis Loubet to create some amazing cover art for the game. The crowdfunding project that he's launched isn't directly intended to assist with the RPG itself. On top of developing the faction reputation system for the game, the second half of the month was heavily devoted to setting up the game's Kickstarter campaign. He also made a slick translation of the module's title into Kilrathi. This was important as it allows capi to plug in individual missions at will now. The first half was largely about setting up the adventure pages for the different acts in the Elegy of Sivar campaign. 2015.089 (March 30, 2015) WC RPG Makes Kilrathi Expansion Progress & Launches Art Campaignĭespite spring back falling right in the middle, March has been a big month for the Wing Commander RPG Wiki.
