Men care about size too, they just make up for it with powerblasters and spaceships.

For all those feeling nostalgic about the Micronauts, they are making an appearance in the Incredible Hulks title, right now!


Speaking about the Micronauts, wasn't the female member called Marionette?

FGU isn't releasing any spoilers for Escape from the Micro-Universe. But here's a teaser that I've been announcing in advance about the upcoming adventure....

The local scientific community is abuzz. The city the heroes call home is slated to host this year's meeting of the Subatomic Physics Society (SPS). Scientists from around the globe will arrive to attend the annual, three-day event.

The scheduled presenters include Yvonne Edmond (best known for theorizing that the standard universe splintered off from a subatomic dimension during the big bang), Luis Masso (who spent the last several years examining evidence that light trapped within black holes flows into a subatomic dimension), and Roy Newbeck (president of the Subatomic Physics Society).



Next week I should have some additional news connected to the module!  Smiley

That's all right with me!  There's so much new (and good) stuff that I can't play/run it all fast enough to keep up with what's already come out!   (but this is a great problem to have, don't get me wrong!)    Cool

Here's some additional information that I can now share about Escape from the Micro-Universe.

The module itself is actually two adventures in one: The core adventure and the sequel: Return to the Micro-Universe (set a short time thereafter).

The main adventure runs 17 pages, the sequel runs 9 pages (or 26 pages altogether).

My family and friends asked if there are also plans for Beneath the Micro-Universe, Battle for the Micro-Universe, Conuest for the Micro-Universe, Revenge of the Micro-Universe, The Micro-Universe Strikes Back, The Micro-Universe 3D, and The Micro-Universe vs. Jason and Freddie and Harry Potter.

Well, AK has announced that in addition to Escape from the Micro Universe, FGU is also working on a Japanese/Manga themed release called Great Bridge, as well as finishing up the material for GIANT 2 & 3. Looks to be a good holiday season for V&V fans.

So what was the answer!?!   

I'm personally looking forward most to when he gets around to doing a prequel trilogy!    Cheesy

And here's the latest update on what FGU's got in the pipeline.

Quote:
Giant No. 2:
Danger In The Depths 1
Danger In The Depths 2
Escape From The Micro-Universe
Return To The Micro-Universe


Giant No. 3 (classics):
Crisis at Crusader Citadel
Most Wanted Vol 1
Death Duel with the Destroyers


I just received/been paid for art, the manuscript for Vigilantes International from Ken Cliffe... it's a fat one that we think will be printed at around 64 pages on its own.

I know that there is a new paid project in production called Great Bridge. It's a sourcebook of Japan/Manga archetypes done Most Wanted Style - sounds really cool, I'm looking forward to it.

James Satter is approved for another manuscript that is a book similar to Alone Into The Night.

I've been hammering out Poseidon Line in my spare time.


And over at MHG, In Broad Daylight is on schedule for release on 12 Dec. Plus they're planning on releasing their own versions of Death Duel with the Destroyers and The Island of Doctor Apocolypse in 2011, as well as freebie by Stefan James at some point.

I don't know if anybody's up for it (maybe I should do it), but I think it would be really helpful if somebody made a complete list of ALL of the stuff that's come out for V&V in the last year or so.

So all of the freebies from FGU, the stuff that's come out as PDFs or Giants or PODs or whatever (including the freebie from MHG - Oil Pressure), so that we have them all in one place.  I think if we saw all that's come out (in one list) it would be a great help to those trying to complete collections or make sure they didn't forget to pick up a particular item.

Awesome stuff, DN.  I'm not sure who's keeping up the list, but they've done an awesome job.  If that person visits here (or if anyone here knows them), you might have them correct the title for "Escape from the Micro-Universe".

Here's the list I was looking for (taken from the information provided there).  Note that I didn't include "Wheels within Wheels" because my understanding is that it is just a counter box, not an adventure, per se (please correct me if I have that wrong).

Supplements
Police Station
Pawn Shop
Tabloid Office
Diamante's
Any-Mart
Second Hand Bookstore
Flying Saucer: Vessel of Abduction
Citizen Report

Adventures
Into the Sub-Realm
Enter the Gene Pool
Danger in the Depths part 1
Danger in the Depths part 2
Escape From the Micro-Universe
The Hero Within
Oil Pressure
Intercrime: Hostile Takeover


Note that I only listed adventures that are currently out and available.

If anybody sees any that I've forgotten, please let me know!

I do believe that "Display Name" is the person who put that list together.

Busted...!

I fixed the list!  Thanks!

The Wheels Within Wheels is a spinner to generate random numbers.  It's called a Tally Wheel.  The same pdf file also contains blank counters, "flight stands" (put underneath counters to represent a character in flight), and a "good" counter box and "evil" counter box.

Wheels Within Wheels was the first time I ordered something for free and still felt like ti was over priced.

I might have to check it out again (though considering C.L.'s comment that made me LOL, I might not).  For flying characters I usually grab clear drinking glasses (and put the counter/marker on top with the glass upside down).  I've got different sizes of drinking glasses, from really small (shot glasses) up to really tall, so it works pretty well and gives a good 3-D feel already.  Our markers might not be quite as good as the figures by Drosta/Duroon, but they give a great graphic representation of where everybody is at and what they're doing, as well as showing line of sight, ranges, facing, props, etc.    Smiley

...or the soundtrack for Flying Saucer: Vessel of Abduction!  Would that be a "supplement"?

Escape from the Micro-Universe is listed twice.

No, I totally missed that it was already listed.    Embarrassed

But there IS a sequel included with that one, so maybe it should be listed again!   Smiley

There's a known problem with the map on page 3 of Infinity Lounge.  Jeff Dee will post a corrected version soon:

The map problem is fixed already. I have had a chance to give it a quick read through and have to say looks like a fun adventure for an evenings session. The system for generating your own BEM's looks promising, as someone else stated on the MHG forum, it might be better with different formatting though. Regardless it is a nice section for generating your own alien races.

This is sure a great time to be a fan of V&V!  It may sound silly, but one of the most exciting moments in my life was one day in the mid 80's, when I was driving home from a game store where I had just found (and purchased) a ton of (previously unknown to me) V&V modules.  I was on a high better than one could get from drugs, excited to see all of these new (to me, anyway) adventures.  I love reading through them almost as much as I do running them and/or playing them.

Now we're entering an age with just about as many products!  I'm currently reading through In Broad Daylight, just got GIANT #2 in the mail a few days ago, printed off Infinity Lounge last night, just got done running Into the Sub-Realm, have used Citizen Report recently, and there's a bunch of other stuff I haven't even mentioned.  I'm looking forward to running Enter the Gene Pool and Escape from the Micro-Universe, as well as the two Danger in the Depths.  Even if it all ended today, I've got enough new V&V stuff to last me years!  Whoo-hoo!!!     Cool

For those of you who pre-ordered V&V GIANTs 2&3, they've shipped. My copies arrived last week (well actually a bit before that, but I missed the delivery, and had to pick them up at the post office).

For those of you keeping track, in addition to MHG's latest freebie, The Infinity Lounge, FGU has announced it's got two more projects almost ready for release, the Weick brother's Enemies at Large & Ken Cliffe's Vigilantes International - http://www.fantasygamesunlimited.net





From what I understand, Vigilantes International will be released as a PDF, then a stand alone print version will be following it. The previously announced Japanese themed "Great Bridge" is also nearing completion.
