Correct. My book will be compatible with 1st, 2nd and 4th editions and published by Fria Ligan.

Great to hear!

FYI - per a discussion today with Chris Lites

At this moment there is no tie in with the 4th edition to the Twilight 2300AD timeline - meaning that the future for the 4th edition may be wide open and not constrained as the earlier versions of the game were - stay tuned but that would make the 4th edition a very different animal from V1 and V2.2

Waiting to get confirmation from Tomas

Considering FFE licenses 2300 out to Mongoose, I suppose that makes sense. That does, however, really only mean that we might see a few changes with the timeline to make it a bit less... constrained, like perhaps the French may actually get their shit kicked in. Unless they're sticking with the timeline as established entirely...

[Olefin]

It would open all kinds of things to reinterpretation - keep in mind that the uber drought that basically took out the US efforts to rebuild was done in large part to align the final results of the war with the 2300AD where Mexico kept large parts of the Southwest and Texas was independent because the US was too weak and disorganized to do anything about it

And thats just one area that not having it tied to 2300AD could leave open to change - I personally would like a new edition that isnt tied down to a 300 years in the future canon - leaves you much more open to creating new things and makes the timeline one where you can actually do something and not be like so what if we liberated LA its going to Mexico anyway for 2300

Although at the moment, perhaps talking about Mexico and North America might be a bit presumptive - it does give me hope that some of the issues with North America (perhaps even New America itself - was never a fan of it) would be fixed alongside.

[Olefin]

Its something I was hoping would be eventually fixed with a revamped V2.2 offering especially after Mongoose took over 2300AD and pulled it away from GDW and Far Future - but keep our fingers crossed
