Sounds like the making of a great Kickstarter add-on...

Please don't. I have no self control and can't really afford six sets just so I can break them up into companies evenly!  ;D
Good news is the lab boys say the symptoms of asbestos poisoning show an immediate latency of 44.6 years. So if you're thirty or over you're laughing. Worst case scenario you miss out on a few rounds of canasta, plus you've forwarded the cause of science by three centuries. I punch those numbers into my calculator, it makes a happy face.

You’ll have to cross your fingers that they don’t sell out at the con and cgl wants to unload them after the season ends

It’s nice when some crumbs from the con merch feast fall on the ground for us plebes like the faction dice from a few years ago

Probably more likely that scrappers will buy them out and sell them on e-bay

If I have a chance to beat the scalpers to the Webstore, that’s one more chance than I have otherwise.

If you had any idea of how much of a gigantic pain in the ass it is to get something like those "smalls" prepped to be able to sell them in the Webstore,  you'd understand why they don't do that very often.

That’s why I said “it’s nice” vs “I demand”

Most of us can’t take time / afford to go to cons. We can dream without your wet towel

No, I'm saying scalpers will vacuum up the supply at the Cons

If cgl selling their own stuff online is such a pain in the ass, some gouging is better than zero chance at ever buying it

Just netted the Arano book. Eagerly looking forward to sitting down and reading it! ...Now to probably quit just going around Mercenary-ing it up and actually finish the game's campaign before reading it. *laughs*

Just got it to download, and I have to say, they handled the multi-dropship collar thing well.  +1 for rules consistency!  :thumbsup:

Strangely, all the pdfs downloaded without a hitch except for the Turning Points ones.  All three hung on "Preparing download" for a relatively long time.  Two just finally completed while I was typing this, but the third is still spinning... weird...

I've noticed that not all CGL products are watermarked. A quick glance says most of the turning points are, and house Arano isn't. Considering that it was literally modifying each file, I'm always surprised that they download that fast.

I'm guessing it has to do with file size.  The turning points have those monster planetary maps in them, so that probably holds things up.
