This has always driven me batty, why does sci-fi and fantasy get lumped together so much? They're completely different!

Because they can't tell a Quad-Wing from a Nazgul ?

I am looking forward to the new Elite. Loved it on the Spectrum and to me is my true love of space games although Freespace 2 is also in my top choice.

Agreed in general. HOWEVER.... There is a bit of a trend to with some "sci-fi" to be more sci-fantasy. For an example look no further than Doctor Who's magic wand.

I like the 40k games, but after DoW2 went Steam only and Games Workshop do not want to be involved with the sales of their IP I hold little hope for it being DRM-free.

Some great looking stuff - quite a few I knew nothing of

This.

Hey, this isn't like an unwanted pregnancy; it should be a joyous occasion!

Sure, it's expensive, but the end result is worth it ;)

Star Ruler 2 - Fuck yeah !

COURTIERS...IN...SPAAAAACE!!!

Oh, not that kind of Renaissance.

Quite a few promising titles on there, could be a good year. The frequency of the word "Kickstarter" in the summaries leads me to believe many won't see completion, but still, plenty to pick from if even a fraction do. I noticed the omission of Homeworld: Shipbreakers, but then who knows when the heck that will be out.

Looks very interesting, especially Warhammer 40000 Armageddon.

So... like a wanted pregnancy then?
