Sad news. As annnounced, today all models, books and gaming aids have been removed from the online store and thus it is not possible to get anytghing related to the game by ordinary means and will only be available on sites like e-bay. For the momment the SG forum section for the game is still on, and also the downloads section in spartan blog.
Anyways, I refuse to see this at the end of the game, I am positive wanting to always see the glass half-filled instead of half-empty. So I have been doing some "rescue" job in the SG forums and blog and have something prepared for you, just in case it "drops" from the site: a compilation of Spartan´s last "supplement" for the game: The Cauldron of Silence written by Craig Gallant. I just copy-pasted all material for the offical public forums and turned it into a PDF for you to keep enjoying the game:

I think a game doesn´t die because its makers drop it out of production, it dies when it gets forgotten by everyone, so the game it is all in our hands to keep it alive. Many of us have several fleets, so Why not lend one of those to a trusty friend and enjoy an evening or a weekend of gaming? It could also help playing some pirate or seaman´s song from the laptop and maybe enjoying films like "Pirates of the Caribbean", or "Master and Commander" (and maybe the beginning of Ben-Hur lol) at the end of the day? ;-) Being the game all in our hands means we can modify stuff and try that and test that other thing (something I will be doing in this blog for sure!) because we all know the game won´t be officially updated or changed in anyway unless we do it by ourselves.
Being said that, this is one last paragraph for those who purchased the game years ago: I hope we keep ejoying this game that had so much money, love and effort from us. We are (for good or ill) of a now unique and now a-difficult-to-obtain game.
Cheers
Dan
