Ok, I can’t wait for this. It's good to know we will get solo play! I love the idea of adding support for minis and battlemaps for them. My tactical brain is so happy about this! And it looks like I will also be grabbing new Dragonbane content too soon. So much magic!
I love the maps in the books now, but they are very good for orientation and story telling, I am super jazzed about getting more detailed "battle" maps as I do like using miniatures for combat (most of the time).
I just picked up the new book for Alien and now they are coming out with a new edition? I really hope they will be updating all the stuff for the foundry and not forcing me to repurchase everything. When someone is making an announcement about a new edition, please ask about backwards compatibility.
Tomas provided more color in the Facebook Alien group. It really feels like you can use all of the previous material. The revisions seem to be around streamlining the Stealth rules, adding miniatures and Solo play options and some other minor tweaks like to the panic table like mentioned in the interview. I think you’ll be fine holding onto your books. What might change is the Foundry stuff since the maps for the new scenarios will be a lot friendlier for miniatures and VTT. He didn’t cover that, but that’s a good question
My notes about Vaesen: New stuff in the works! Campaign set in Stockholm. Urban themes. Travel to Upsala. Halfway through Preorder in October. “City of my nightmares “ Mythic Carpathia Eastern European setting Poland and Ukraine writers
I think you are fine to keep it. After seeing some more comments from Tomas in the ALIEN FB group, it seems more like a “1.5”. My words, not his. But better support for miniatures and tactical battle maps. Solo Play and some tweaks around panic rolls. (I’d like more variety in panics rolls, tbh). The new starter set sounds nice too. I’d hold onto your books.
I love Free League, but this feels like a cash grab. The original edition is great. It won the EnNie for best game the year in 2019. I don't think it needs a new edition. I wonder if this is the reason for the delay in Space Truckers and Earth SB's Game over man, game over.
I was really surprised. I do find the current maps a little frustrating to use, especially in a VTT. But I’m not sure if that’s enough to warrant a new edition. I feel like there has to be more to it that he wasn’t open to sharing just yet.
I own that copy of the Path of Glory that Tomas showed off!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! It is my precious.
What’s in my pocket?

That’s a lot of Magic! I was floored haha.

I'm excited for the Dragonbane news! Can't wait!
Me too! You can probably tell we love Dragonbane. All the magic stuff is super exciting.
Great Interview! I have yet to play aliens, but I am super interested in it conceptually after talking to people during GenCon.
We’ve played more ALIEN than anything else the past few years.
I am liking it so far. Can't Wait !!
Yeah, more practical maps for minis will be a nice plus!

Can we please just get a Vaesen starter set already? 😢

@@theaarpgs ok...that's very promising! thank you!
I was furiously typing notes into my phone during the showcase. Lol
Anything for Forbidden Lands coming down the line? Thnx for this!! 👊🤓
Ah, I had that on my list to ask but forgot. When we interviewed Erik Granström (it’s in our interview playlist) he said he was working on Alderlands.
@theaarpgs Oh cool... thnx! If Erik is on it, then it'll be awesome!
if only add support miniature, why create new version... i have the first and now ? i sale or not.... :(

Are they moving to Step Dice?
No nothing like that from what I understand.

It will be interesting to see how different it is, and how easy or difficult it is to use existing adventures and other content with the new version.
My guess is that this is a licence issue. Disney now owns the IP and maybe that warrants a renewal of licence?
@@verlandes1 probably want to capitalize on the increased interest with the new hollywood movie out.
