i have heard rumors about a new N&S book of some sort, but that was supposed to happen after Lemuria. So I dunno. I wish it'd happen too.

Ninjas & Superspies™ posts belong in the Ninjas & Superspies™ & Mystic China™ forum, not the Heroes Unlimited™ forum.

Palladium Books consists of six people in the office (only one of whom is a writer) and many freelancers (All of whom have full time jobs and lives of their own). I don't think priority for a new edition of Ninjas & Superspies™ is on the radar..

I for one do not want a new edition of N&S, because if they do, then they would probably make it "To RUE Standard", which I despise. And which would just make N&S 'just another rifts supplement book'. :roll: Another thing I despise about what has happened to most of the PB Game setting books.

I would say the chances of an update are between zero and none. Any sort of 'update' would either require a wholesale rewrite of most of the material and concepts (Chi, MAFs, Combat Maneuvers, APMs, WPs, Dodge, et multiple cetera) OR would require leaving so many things unchanged as to make any 'update' just a repackage. Baring a miracle of some sort (a free lancer writing the PERFECT manuscript, unsolicited in their free time.) Its Just Not Going To Happen. Which I think is a shame, but there it is.
The rules are not a bludgeon with which to hammer a character into a game. They are a guide to how a group of friends can get together to weave a collective story that entertains everyone involved. We forget that at our peril.

I think a standard is necessary. It can eliminate stupid arguments when adapting between systems.

Plus N&SS will still have unique traits.

Mike and I do not generally agree here but in this he is bang on.

Unless a freelancer suddenly gives them a drop dead awesome 2nd ed of it already done and ready to go, we will not see a new edition. N&SS was Erik's baby more than anything else. No Erik then I highly doubt we will see any N&SS beyond the odd Rifter article. That goes of ATB as well as that too was sort of Erik's baby.
I am very opinionated. Yes I rub people the wrong way but at the end of the day I just enjoy good hard discussion and will gladly walk away agreeing to not agree :D

Better Q is when Rifts and other settings will incorporate N&SS superior weapon kata and rolling system.

If they haven't by now I wouldn't expect them to ever do so.
