I have been busy working on the June release since December. This weekend I completed a first draft of the card stats for 12 cards. Also I have completed a first draft of the handbook. Things will still change, including names of characters, but the main ideas are in place.
Darryl is wrapping up the card art and I will be working with Tom R on backgrounds and colors this week. Darryl's art is fantastic, but do I really have to say that? We all know he is awesome! We had more fun than usual with the current set, but I will say more about that in June at GalactiCon after it has been released.
There won't be many teasers if any. That's because this is one of those sets where the main concept would be spoiled no matter what is shared. In place of specific card art I will write some news stories that speak about the new set but without details that would spoil too much. Prepare for unexpected surprises! The GWF is moving in new directions yet again. This game universe is so rich in possibilities. It must be, just look at all the spin-off sets over the years!
Also pondering a few bonus items and how they might work. No final decisions yet.
We are also hard at work on our Indie and Legends releases, but I thought I would share an update on our flagship game since day one: Champions of the Galaxy! This is expansion number 53 or 54, who can keep track anymore? I just keep writing them, it's a lifetime habit at this point. And I love every second of it!

Same, One of the best things about this game is how Tom is just as excited as we are for new game editions to come out and see how they play out. They fact that he can see so far into the future with things is great.

"The fact that he can see so far into the future with things is great."
I was never in it for the money. It was a labor of love from the start. Making ends meet is still important (as everyone reading this knows) but was not the driving force.
As for seeing stories into the future I have had some new thoughts in the past week about that. I will see how they grow in the days ahead and look forward to sharing those thoughts with loyal promoters at GCon.

Eh at this point I do not think Tom sees into the future. I am pretty sure he is FROM the future. He is simply writing down history, well what was history for him, as best as he can remember it.

Clearly Tom gets his information from The Dark Menace. He just writes it down.

The June release handbook is a few thousand words shorter than the last few years (around 18,000) but still jam-packed with stories.
Darryl's spectacular card art is finished and now I am working with sensational Tom R on backgrounds and colors. Then we will be designing the handbook. And after that any bonus items that might be released. I have a few ideas but not sure yet.
Couldn't be more excited! Strap in for yet another wild ride.
