Lets drop this. Its not getting us anywhere.

So Irregular Tech TRO is closer becoming a reality? Will it include Record Sheets?

If it's ever been posted in the fan sections, it can never be made official.

The Kraken XR may begin to differ.

Updated tumblr post announcing blood of Kerensky.

Is Randall bills from Arizona? He mentioned a gaming store in Tempe I have been to and I didn't realize it had been around for almost 30 years.

In honor of this re-release, I think I'll go play a round of megamek with reactor explosions turned on...roll to Stackpole!

Oh, and I'll go buy the books as well.

They've done this for a number of e-products. Most of the cover art for the XTRO series, for example, were previously used in things like the Field Manual series.

Yes, but that would require us to read every post in the thread. ;)

I can't wait for TRO:Irregulars and TRO:Golden Century. Maybe we'll get stats for the Storm Giant. (Just a cool name.)

Of course. Miniature painters should too, but that doesn't do anything for my ability to afford professionally painted miniatures all the time. You have to look at what it is worth to you, compare that to what it costs.
Most PDF only products are PDF only because they are expected to have a limited sales potential. So they have to limit costs as well. Reusing some/all art is one way to limit costs.

So commission this CGL come on chop chop! JK well........sorta. We need pretty warships and we have coin. All you need is to provide the wares.

There's not enough of you with coin.
Now, if you're willing to step up with enough coin to cover, oh, let's say 5,000 other dudes...

Of course, there's no business model that'd support that approach, just trying to illustrate the problem.

Just wondering: On the following scale, what's the likelihood of seeing Spotlight on: Crescent Hawks today or this coming week?

1. It is certain
2. It is decidedly so
3. Without a doubt
4. Yes, definitely
5. You may rely on it
6. As I see it, yes
7. Most likely
8. Outlook good
9. Yes
10. Signs point to yes
11. Reply hazy try again
12. Ask again later
13. Better not tell you now
14. Cannot predict now
15. Concentrate and ask again
16. Don't count on it
17. My reply is no
18. My sources say no
19. Outlook not so good
20. Very doubtful

;D

I can live with the warship art being in a fan-produced PDF personally. Sure it would be cool if it became cannon, but I can deal with high-quality fan content. However, what about recordsheets for 3057? I don't have any concept of, given the current process, what sort of time a record sheet takes to produce, but I thought that Record Sheets and TRO's were generally the best selling category of products. It would seem that RS:3057 should be manageable.

Speaking of which, what's going on with the NTNU units from TRO:3150? Is RS:3150 NTNU ever going to be a product? Seems like to sort of thing us folks would like to buy.

This is understandable.

A question, could fan-produced publications be made into canon products?
Some as this from Marauder648 are of extraordinary high quality.

No.
The problem is IP, ownership, contracts. And that 0.1% risk is infinitely worse than 0% risk. Doing something with a 0.1% risk every day means a huge problem every 3 years.

Sorry about opening that can of worms. I've deleted the post.

On a brighter note (and back to the actual point of this thread :) ) -- I love the new crystal rules in the latest "Touring the Stars"!

Mendrugo · « **Reply #1048 on:** 01 October 2016, 05:15:22 »

There's an even more direct allusion to it in the I.E. sourcebook, with a world that nuked itself into oblivion, but has a mysterious signal coming from a vault deep underground.
