What do you guys think? As I big fan of the EC era, I'm actually not that excited. Regardless of what Tom and Co are saying now that he seemingly has lost the rights to it somehow, the EC set has always been treated as official... they guys are in the GWF files, it's referred to in other game books, etc.
I'm thinking if it is indeed the case that he lost the rights, what we're going to get is a re-do of the later guys (Cosmos, Dragon Fighter, Omega, etc) and new guys from Tom that fit the same niches... I just hate that sort of reconing.
That said, if it results in some good characters, it could still be worthwhile.

In honor of BDS: This thread can only end in tragedy."
Also, EC stuff is like Hitler... Just getting it out of the way now.

Book, I'm touched to see the Hitler rant applied to EC so early in the discussion...

Book, I'm touched to see the Hitler rant applied to EC so early in the discussion... Just getting ahead of the curve. ;D For the record, as a strictly Legends player, I have no strong feelings one way or another about EC. But, Wildfire's comments and even Jason's rather tame "we will see" are exactly the kind of thing that attract certain guests to come by and tell us all how we're wrong.

Every time we have a thread like this I just feel like Mr. Blonde

Regardless of what Tom and Co are saying now that he seemingly has lost the rights to it somehow... where was this said? It's an assumption based on the fact that making it available as a PDF would simply be free money for FG, since probably close to 100 people have asked for it in the last couple years. It sold for MORE than retail value on ebay not to long ago. One could alternatively assume Tom has such a big ego that he isn't willing to let things he didn't write make him money for fear people will like someone else's stuff better than his own stuff, but I'm giving him the benefit of the doubt.

Whether the set is meant to replace the original EC set, or used in tandem with it, or whatever doesn't really matter to me. GWF players are a creative bunch, and will always find ways to make it work.
However, I agree 100% with whoever it was on the other board that said he hopes this is the comprehensive last-and-final pre-2087 set (assuming this is a past Classics set, and not Classics 4200 or some such), so that people who want to run the Early Years can do so freely without having to retcon or restart or otherwise skip over someone who comes out later and is considered "official" (or "quasi-official" or whatever).

So I know I'm kicking up an old thread but did they ever come out with a 'new' EC set?

Nope... it was never mentioned again. They did do the color version of the 2087 set (in 4 parts).
