The world of mods and games hacking knows no bounds and I for one am a huge supporter of fan-made conversions. Beyond the Red Line is such a mod, developed by a talented group of game artists, developers and fans of the re-imagined Battlestar Galactica television series. Based entirely on Freespace 2 by Volition, Beyond the Red Line is a total conversion package which will be free to download and play upon release. Supporting online multiplayer, Beyond the Read line promises to allow players to perform some of the interesting space maneuvers which appear in the series during various gameplay modes, such as deathmatch, team deathmatch and possibly even coop missions. Demo versions of the upcoming game are available in PC, MAC and Linux flavors for those of us who wish our last name was Adama.

Oh how I wait anxiously for a Battlestar Galactica MMORPG, but, until that highly unlikely day dawns, I’ll have to live with user-created machine in order to live those dreams out. Here, we’ve got the opening credits of the amazingly sci-nerd television show, recreated from within World of Warcraft. I especially love the multiple cyclon clones and the “Six” model.

Margaret Weis (who?), a book and game publishing company based in SE Wisconsin named after owner / author Margaret Weis has announced they will be publishing the Battlestar Galactica table-top role-playing game come 2007. Known for their Dragonlance setting for Dungeons and Dragons as well as their Serenity RPG, Margaret Weis also publishes the young adult pick-a-path novel series, Paths of Doom (I used to love pick-a-path novels!). The game-book will be set in space, following the storyline of the re-imagined series as what’s left of humanity races to find Earth before the ever so lovely Cylons do. The game-system is being designed by Jamie Chambers, who also designed the Serenity RPG and aided by Sean Everette, writer for Knightly Orders of Ansalon and an ex-United States Navy and Air Force soldier, which will aid in keeping the writing similar to the military style Battlestar Galactica is known for.
