I realize that most people know Mars Attacks via the movie, and that's perfectly fine! Like I said above, because the movie and RPG are both adapted from the same source, there's about 90% overlap between them. But please don't ask, "Does the book include <specific scene/person/factoid> from the movie?" -- because that's missing the point that GURPS Mars Attacks is an adaptation of the original source material.

I wasn't actually sure if the succession thing had occurred in the cards or comics, which was why I asked. I should have phrased it better.

Re: And then this happened . . .
Will this be coming out in PDF as well?

Re: And then this happened . . .
I'd be stunned if it didn't. SJG have made their opinion on the way of the future of gaming pretty well known, and outside the RPG industry, publishing is pretty clear on e-pub being The THing.
Of course, I want both!

Re: And then this happened . . .
That'd be a question for Phil, Elisabeth, or Steven. Heck, I'm curious as well. :)

Re: And then this happened . . .
This is a licensed product, so the ultimate decision will be with a third party. I am hoping they can release it as PDF.

Re: And then this happened . . .
I don't know if Randyman was talking about my campaign idea or the book closeness suggestion, but thanks.
That said, the MH organization would provide a good backbone for the resistance to coalesce around, of course the group may need re-working to fit within idea of 30's pulp sci-fi and fantasy (Did they even something resembling urban fantasy back then?) Quote:

Re: And then this happened . . .
Topps owns Shadowrun, and allows Catalyst Game Labs to release everything in PDF. Indeed, they have many products that are PDF only. I think that'd be a good sign for a PDF version.

Re: And then this happened . . .
This is a definite buy for me - even if I can't find people willing to conquer the world, it's perfect for an Earth Defense Force game my brother and I have been planning.
Point of interest, is the Martians' weakness to country music from the comics, or was that just the movie? |
