So many of the scenarios I have participated in, the team spent much time in and arround the vehicle. It helped us in our enjoyment of the MP system to know what we were living in and using as our primary tool. Mike

Also, will they be sticking with the November 18, 1989 wardate from all previous editions, or will they update the wardate a la Twilight:2013?

From what Chris has said... the timeline can be set by the GM. the supplies and equipment lists are going to have dates so the GM will know what gear is availble for when they set the 'event' that caused everything to happen.

Okay.... while there is not a definate DATE for the release of 4th Edition... I can tell you it will be within the next year... mainly because what's been keeping 4th Edition from coming out has been having someone to do the layout for the book....
I can happily tell you that they now have someone to do the layouts, and once I've finished laying out the book... within a month pre-production releases will be made available on the website. three to six months after i'm finished the standard release will be done... But the pre-release will be done in a very special way, and only offered on the website. Once layouts are done, several new modules are also being prepared for release as well. So take heart, the light at the end of the tunnel is daylight... and not a train.

So your saying that by the end of Jan 2011 pre-press editions will be avaialble for purchase? Just like back in 1980? More than 100 would be nice.
Then Aug - Sep 2011 the finished book will be possibly available? Quote:

I won't be able to start it until monday, since i have a funeral this week to attend (my aunt lost her battle with cancer yesterday morning at 0545), they are asking if i want to serve as a pallbearer... and if i'm not able to lift the casket they are wanting me to walk beside her as she is taken from the church with the pallbearers. Anyway... things are drawing to the homestretch, so please have a little more patience. Because I (and those at Timeline) really want this to get out just as much as you do. And i'm not going to be the official voice for the company here... i'm just a fan who's been asked to work on one of the RPGs that i've played longer than any other.

Thank you Tony & Mike,
When Chris told me that it was the layout work was what was keeping the game form coming out I volunteered for it right away. I talked with both Chris and the Writer of the game (a nice guy named Chris from Scotland actually) about the work during our weekly Skype discussion on Friday evenings (so if anyone has suggestions or questions they REALLY want asked... you can put them to me and I'll promise to bring them up) and they said that the past five years of extensive playtesting has allowed them to work the kinks out and get a really good system and background written (the book is over 300 pages after all). And thanks again Mike... loosing Aunt Carol so soon after loosing my father has been a real... well, it's not been easy for my mom. She lost dad and her closest living sibling in just over a month between the two. And she's taking it pretty hard. So if you can keep her in your prayers, i'd really appreciate it. I leave for the funeral in the morning and won't be back until Thursday evening. I'm hoping that when i get back that the package with all the things i need to get started will be be here waiting for me.

Please accept my condolences and apologies for not mentioning this earlier. That was insensitive of me, and disrespect was meant. At this stage of TMP4 I would imagine that what's in it is pretty much set, but if there is the option to run the canon Project (old weapons, vehicles and gear) I'll be satisfied. If there's not, I'll still probably buy a copy to check it out and out of loyalty's sake (like T2013) but not bother changing over my current game. Tony

Hey, works for me! For that matter, I've just started a new game, and if it's not too late I'd love to do some playtesting for the new edition. I'm not sure of the status on that, but that would be really cool. Tony Last edited by helbent4; 12-09-2010 at 03:44 AM.
