New Kid on the Block
We're not alone... -- 02 Dec 2016
Hi there everyone. Welcome to winter, and I hope you are looking forward to the festive season.
I just wanted to write up a short post to address a development in the Elite community that may cause some confusion.
Today's Elite Dangerous Newsletter announced that an Elite Dangerous RPG is in development. The exact text of this announcement is as follows:
ELITE DANGEROUS TABLETOP GAME IN DEVELOPMENT We're also please to announce that an official Elite Dangerous Tabletop is in ... Read More

#selezenisatwot -- 26 Oct 2016 -- Comments: 2
This is embarrassing...
It would seem that I misinterpreted Frontier's email a couple of weeks ago. Even after several re-reads, I got it slightly wrong. In my defence everyone else that read it has interpreted it the same way, so I only feel like a bit of an idiot instead of feeling like a complete smeghead.
Simply put, the status of the RPG and the license is NOT as I described it in the last update. I interpreted the options as being "refund the licence AND resubmit for approval ... Read More

The Long Walk - Autumn 2016
I still love you - I'm just busy... -- 22 Oct 2016
This is not going to be a happy update. Please stick with it and read it to the end.
Sorry it has been so long since the last update. There have been several reasons for this, and the main one will become clear during the course of this post. As you know, the first draft of the RPG was submitted in June. This was passed back to me with the instruction to remove 100,000 words from the total word count (reducing it to approximately 150,000) and to remove any and all background lore information ...

The Red Pen Is Mightier Than The Sword
Where [CENSORED] and [REDACTED] the [DELETED] Ha [NOT BLOODY LIKELY] ha! -- 06 Jun 2016 -- Comments: 4
Hello there everyone and welcome to another Elite Encounters update.
I've been quiet on the subject of EE for a couple of weeks for a few good reasons. The all-encompassing run towards the submission to Frontier meant that I had to neglect a lot of other real-life stuff in order to achieve that. I took the opportunity to move towards getting some of that stuff sorted out whilst waiting for word back from Frontier and trying to get the VCS rules finalised to submission too (thanks again ...

Elite Encounters - Where's It At?
What you talking about, Selezen? -- 12 May 2016 -- Comments: 2
Firstly, thanks to everyone out there for being so understanding and doing as I asked and not getting in touch so I could get on with trying to finish up the RPG. I haven'#t checked any of the comments sections n here yet, so my positive attitude that has built up over the last few weeks hasn't yet been diminished. I'm sure you guys have been understanding ans supportive though, right? RIGHT??
It is with great, pants-wetting terror that I now inform you that 10 minutes ago (from ... Read MoreCategories Kickstarter

If the last update didn't get your back up, this one will... -- 11 Apr 2016
That title's probably got your back up straight away, so let me explain.
I've made the decision over the last 24 hours that I will not be putting together any more Kickstarter updates between now and the point where the book writing process has been completed. This means that I will not be posting videos or written updates until the book has been passed to Frontier for approval.
I have decided to take this approach for the following reasons:
I need to step away from the KS ... Read More

Elite Encounters Release Date Revealed
What, did I forget to tell you? Oops! -- 06 Apr 2016
Hi everybody.
It has been pointed out that I have not yet revealed the release date for Elite Encounters directly on Kickstarter.
You have my humble apologies for that. It has been included in three videos but, as often stated, many of you have some kind of problem with video updates and thus may never know if I limit this sort of announcement to the video updates.
So just for you people, here is the scheduled release "date" for EE (I say "DATE" because it's ... Read More
