This may sound silly, put is it a game you play over the net. Like battletech megamech. Or is it just an alternative ruleset for your epic minis?
Thanks

Hi!
The name "netepic" refers to the way it is maintained and updated, via a group of dedicated "net-citizens". Its an alternate rules set for your epic minis, not a PC or online video game.
While it is based on the second edition SM rules, it has a serious of major and minor changes to it that makes the game play quite different from its predecessor.
I can list some of those points if your interested.

Also from my point of view, it is a rules set that has not walked away from fluff in any way. Thus the Squats still live, Robots still walk with the Imperium, and Guard still have Rhinos just to name a few.

Hi!
All rules are available at the Epicentre:
http://netepic.org/INCOMING/html/module ... =Downloads
This is the general download area, follow the netepic links. Note even the play aids are available.
Also note this is version 4.1. 5.0 is in its final stages and IMO much better in presentation and form. Those are available on the netepic mailing list or direct from me.
Enjoy!

I like the EA system but fed up with the changes in fluff and bickering I see on their forum. I am in the process of investigating Net Epic. Any suggestions? or comments?

In regards of an online computer game... Tom (username of Netepic around here) was once known to be working on one.. dunno what happened to that, tho.

Was working on it the other day, coding some basic AI into it to allow simple single player gaming.

Do you have an ETA on NetEpic Gold yet Primarch? (I know I've promised some stuff. To be completely honest I'd forgotten about it but I also haven't really had the time yet...)
Cheers!
