Hello Again!

Good Evening Everyone, Apologise for not being too communicative in recent month, I have been BUSY!!! as you will soon see.

This is the long awaited 1.1 update to the Fan Made Warframe Tabletop RPG that I have been developing for the fun of it. this update is to address the most pressing concerns that people have brought to my attention by those of the community.

Design Goals:

Firstly Lets talk about the design goals of this project and outline them going forward.

1. I want the base gameplay to be easy to understand and play, where anyone can look at it and understand how to play with minimal reading
2. I want the combat to be action filled and fast paced. I don't want players to disengage with the game when it is not their turn in combat
3. The power fantasy of being a space ninja above regular soldiers must remain intact.
4. It should be FUN! I want players to feel like their having fun at the table both with the game system and the GM! 

With all this in mind, lets go over the changes that are in hopes of meeting that design goal.

New Content:

I did state that I would be coming out with some new content and I like to deliver on my promises. The first is the 1999 Expansion content is ready to go with Technocyte coda included. I have revamped some of the content and expanded on the timeline leading up to the game events of 1999, specifically with how much of the city has been taken by the Techrot, I have also create a new layout for the city (despite how ugly it is) that goes into detail. I will be expanding on this in the future, both on location info and enemy variety (Specifically I want to add Infested Zoo Animals cause that sounds fun). I will also be adding a mini adventure at the end of the book to round it up to 99 pages, cause I have the space and once again it seems fun.

The second bit of new content is the Last Call Before Void Bound. A mini adventure that will allow your players to test the new system  with 4 prebuild characters. your goal is simple, hijack the train before it gets to its destination, though this might be harder than it seems... :). this might get improved upon over time though we will have to see.

The next one is the Riven Mods, Helminth Books, and Narmer and Murmur Expansion content. they are "technically" new content but I don't class them as new cause they were in previous books. they have gotten some updates, with the riven mods getting some new items, the Helminth getting some ability revisions, and the Narmer and Murmur book getting an updated history and new enemy.

A Brief Thank you!

Finally to all those who have given feedback and genuinely helpful advice, THANK YOU! from the bottom of my heart, your support is so appreciated. Initially when I released this I was really upset by the Initial reception and comments, even though some of them were very justified, but for those who gave their feedback, those who are interested in this and want it to succeed Thank you!

I am also thinking of starting a discord chatroom, where people can give their feedback and talk to me directly rather than over a comment section. if you would be interested in such a thing please voice your opinions down below!

The Next Update

It is really funny cause the next update to content was going to be based on the old war, specifically focusing on the collapse of the Orokin...however Warframe is going to be showing that in their next major update so ill need to wait until that comes out to get my story straight. all I can tell you just now is that it will be an adventure module with a BIG storyline focusing on the fall of the Orokin. I want specifically for this update to include a massive amount of members of the community. though I now want to be confident in the base system before I pitch my ideas to anyone. 

additionally if you would like to be included in the next book or previous ones, whether it be a Warframe Idea.
