Greatest Hits - 2018-2018

My album page came out on CD Baby! All the songs have listenable clips except you can listen to the entirety of Carnivores.

I had the most difficult time trying to describe the album. It ranges over a lot of territory! And yes, I used the cover of Wavefront Empire as the cover for the album! I thought it was about perfect for Carnivores! :D

And yes, the album title is supposed to be a joke! :D

Upgrading the StarCluster 4 line - Part Deux

All done! I had a little hiccup on a template tree problem that affected 6 of the nine existing SC4 games, but decided to handle it as errata rather than having a second update. The errata will be fixed with any other changes, next revision. The problem lay with the Server Tree, which is a basic Template Tree included in Free, Zero Stage, The Necklace, Cold Space, FTL Now, and Out of the Ruins. Sweet Chariot includes the new Server Tree, and both Sabre & World and Dark Orbital do not have that Server Tree.

Upgrading all the StarCluster 4 Line

I have updated all my StarCluster 4 games to the new Wavefront Empire standard. Unfortunately, I have only got Lulu updated! Tomorrow I have to update RPGNow/DTRPG and Precis Intermedia. Everyone should get free upgrade notifications! This is for StarCluster 4 games only: SC4 Free, SC4 - Zero Stage, SC4 - The Necklace, SC4 - Dark Orbital, SC4 - Cold Space, SC4 - FTLNow, SC4 - Sweet Chariot, SC4 - Out of the Ruins, and SC4 - Sabre & World. If you bought one of these in pdf, look for the upgrade notice!

A late addition to StarCluster 4 - Wavefront Empire

I always intended to set up a set of duelling rules for Wavefront Empire - it's a perfect duelling culture! - but I kept getting distracted. Today I put the ideas I had in the back of my brain together and came up with the following. Initially, I was going to make all kinds of maneuvers with a result matrix, but I realized that the rules were really complete on one page. I may still do the full on version for the Combat Toolbox, but this will certainly suffice for Wavefront Empire. :D

Merchanters & Stationers Now Available for StarCluster 4 Free

I started - and finished - adapting Merchanters & Stationers from StarCluster 3 to StarCluster 4. M&S is my C. J.Cherryh-ish free supplement for StarCluster 4 Free. You can get StarCluster 4 Free from DTRPG or Precis Intermedia or RPGNow in pdf, and from Lulu in print at cost. M&S is available only from me. Email me at clashUNDERSCOREbowleyATyahooDOTcom and ask me for it, and I'll send the pdf right back to you. I get nothing out of this but the joy of someone playing the game!
