Whatever it is that will allow CGL to pay the developers a living wage allowing stuff to come out quicker

XTRO Succession Wars for me
You know what they say, don't you? About how us MechWarriors are the modern knights errant, how warfare has become civilized now that we have to abide by conventions and rules of war. Don't believe it.

Comstar book #1628

Or a book that tells me more about the deep periphery.

Whichever comes first.

ComStar book will be probably never published. I mean, it's a quarter of century overdue ...  ;)

Interstellar Players 3: Interstellar Expeditions should be published this year. Some parts of this book should mention Periphery affairs.

So it has been published but if I tell you the title it hasn't been published?
I'm positive it hasn't been through layout and the name will be released when Herb deems it worthy. Or just releases while gleefully cackling and stroking Oscar.
Then Oscar will cackle as well.

I hate to break it to you Kit, but Oscar isn't real, he is imaginary just like that XTRO.  ;)

And me as well.  Anything dealing with the Succession Wars would be great.

I was getting at the fact that if you finished writing it last year it should be published by now, 6+ months is a long time for CGL to sit on it

That's not an uncommon time for post-writing production work in this industry.

Considering it's a five-dollar PDF, and compare that to the things like War of Reaving, updated Tactical Operations, WoR supplemental, Liberation of Terra, TRO Prototypes, FM SLDF, and then everything big that's about to come out, I'd say an XTRO can sit on the back burner a while.  No offense to Kit, and I'm sure he would agree with me, but Catalyst has to focus on the bottom line - not doing things "in order."  And if big product is there, big product takes priority.

That said, I personally can't wait to see what it is.  Between his love of Quinn and the Canopians (headlining later this year with Jem and the Holograms) I'm in for a wild ride, I imagine.

See all I'm hearing out of this is "There will be a future product for you to throw money at. Don't worry, we'll give you plenty of chances to sacrafice your wallet happily."
Give me the ceremonial knife!
Even though they may be sitting on a few products instead of immediately releasing, don't know why nor do I care, that just means I'll have something to drool over later.  :)
