Anyone Else Excited for Red Dust Rebellion? (lemm.ee)

Longshot I know, being an unreleased game in a niche genre in a niche BG community on a niche platform lol.

But it's looking like we might get it this year, or early next year at the latest. I signed up for the P500 like a year and a half ago, and every month or so I remember it and go check for any updates.

I've never played a COIN before, but I know they're very highly regarded and I'm interested to try. And the theming is totally my jam, I love sci-fi, and I love the interplay and implied stories between the 4 factions.

Anyone else want to be excited together? :D

If I had a group to play heavier wargames with, this would certainly be high on my anticipated list. I trust Jay Carmichael's opinion on game mechanics & assessment, ability to edit things, and is generally good at entertainment, so I don't doubt his game designing capabilities (coupled with an expert publishing team). Also the theme is my jam.

For me and my group, I'll keep to the lighter Cry Havoc and Nexus Ops for this gaming itch. Who knows, maybe at a convention I'll try out Red Dust Rebellion.

Ha I figure I'll get that "finding a group" problem solved after I've got the game, will be easy I'm sure 😅

I have no idea who Carmichael is outside of this so I'm glad to hear your confidence!
