Hello. Long-time fan here. I know you have a long-term production plan for Con-X 2.0, but I was wondering if Eden had considered branching into Trading Card Games or small wargames as another supplement for the storyline? I recall there were plans for a mega-campaign called "Extinction", which could conceivably be played either in TCG or wargaming form.
I do still have "Extinction" on the hard drive, and a lot of the "time line" for ConX 2.0 was updated to lead into the events of Extinction. AFAIK, Eden don't have plans to get into card games or minis, though there was "Abduction" (an excellent little card game they produced where you played humans that had to escape a Grey ship), and Eden did produce minis for ConX originally.
Maybe with the resurgence of interest in "V", now there's going to be a new series, that we'll get more anti-Saurian guerilla warfare!!
No chance of sneak peek is there? I was always curious whether "Extinction" would be an RPG or a board game. It was even more puzzling after I read through "Exodus"; I mean, whose side would the Gna-Tal fight on? And what chance did just under two million Saurians stand against six billion humans armed with nukes?
Then again its the late 2060s; I'd wager a few environmental disasters had thinned the mammalian herd, right?
The Eden email seems to be discontinued. Anywhere else I can write to?
Extinction is a full RPG, like Armageddon is to Witchcraft, Extinction is the future setting of Conspiracy X. The Saurian Fleet that was trapped in their jumpgate singularity have broken free and returned to Earth - we're talking major numbers here.
The Gna-Tall are hated by the other Saurians, and humans are caught in the crossfire - under equiped and backwards in their tech, it's all out guerilla warfare!
Dunno what's going on with the Eden email - your best bet is posting on the Eden forums if you have questions, or even RPG.net.
I'm not trying to be a serial contrarian; I'm really just reacting to the raw numbers.
There were roughly 2 million Aboriginals/Saurians in the Exodus fleet (even discounting the current escapees), aboard 4,208 colony ships of various capability and design (many of which were hollowed out asteroids).
This was up against say 4 billion humans (presuming some ecological culling having thinned the proverbial herd) armed with privative nukes, chemical and biological weapons, *and* some traces of Aboriginal tech thanks to the Gna-Tall.
I'm presuming the Aboriginals made good use of their technical edge, right? But what happened to the Coalition once when they were appraised of the actions of the planet-side Croll, Kath-yal, and Te-Mulys? I can't see ultar-egalitarian Brinal or plutocratic Thurn taking a subordinate position to anyone, never mind the Akerang wanting to re-create their little kingdom.
Oh and how active are the Oneirophatoi when everything was going to hell? I'd almost wager they and their supporters hightailed it back to Titan.
Yes, I have no life. Well, I do, but this is more fund.
Is there an email I can correspond with you on? Unless you'd prefer to keep in the blog only.
Man, you're talking about stuff I adapted, edited and wrote up nearly three years ago. All I can say is it does work and makes sense when you finally see it. Honest!
There's a long sequence of events that leads up to the Saurian invasion, as the advance troops (as MiBs) sow the seeds and lower Earth's defences. Of course, with the Greys sticking their probing fingers into the mix (messing with human genetics) before the Saurians even turn up, humanity is kinda scuppered...
Best bet if you want to discuss this is head over to the Eden boards and chat not only with me, but also with other ConX players.

Hope that helps! Maybe one day!
