Each volume is gonna be a pin-up calendar filled with literal wolves.

Wow! This is incredible stuff!

I have to say that I am most excited for TRO: Golden Century and "Irregulars". One can only hope that this will include the content from the old "IrTech" they were going to do! I will find out soon!

I do hope that more of the fiction becomes POD as well; especially the new stuff.

Actually, the original title was mid-typed. What it is actually called is the “MechCommander’s Hand” book.

So, it is a book about what the hand of a MechCommander is like and does.

:D ;D :P

pssst you didn't hear it from me, it's actually a crossover with old star wars extended universe introducing a blue skinned alien race. ;)

Whats the Mechcommander's Handbook?

I say this without even having cracked open Mechwarrior: Destiny to see if such a product would be required, but I'm betting a DMG equivalent for Mechwarrior: Destiny.

This is the best guess on the forums so far

Cool!
But nope.

Empyrus · « **Reply #38 on:** 12 June 2020, 22:12:45 »

Since MechCommander was a tactical game where one commands multiple 'Mechs, i'd guess Mechcommander's Handbook has stuff for either larger scale games (unlikely, since that's pretty niche stuff and already covered in StratOps, and Alpha Strike does mid-scales reasonably), or perhaps some kind scenario-making book.
Unless it is some kind of fluff and sourcebook (like Field Manuals)? Some kind of rulebook seems more likely though.

Where is all this stuff going to be available? Last time I tried to buy stuff from the store they took my money, wouldn't even let me look at the selection and never answered my emails. There are a couple of items I'm interested in, but I won't put up with that nonsense twice.

Sartris · « **Reply #40 on:** 12 June 2020, 22:43:35 »

They’ll be on drivethrurpg

Yeah, after I never got my BattleCorps library back I viewed things the same way. I buy from DriveThruRPG for digital and will buy physical items like the shirts & now puzzle from the CGL store.

Somehow I have lost track of the new stuff. What has been punlished so far?

Sartris · « **Reply #43 on:** 18 June 2020, 11:04:44 »

TP: Tyrfing so far. tomorrow is Recognition Guide: ilClan vol 1 (of 22). there are several pieces of fiction hitting this month so i wouldn't be surprised if some of that drops tomorrow too

Still wish they would do a one mech teaser of the RG:i so we could have a taste as well as see the format!

Are the XTROs replaced by TROs now?

This is true . . . we got confirmation on roughly half a dozen mechs, some sizes, some weapons, some armor . . . besides, it slips out tomorrow. Just a bit longer.

Sartris · « **Reply #49 on:** 18 June 2020, 13:54:48 »

Both of these are much larger than XTROs so I don’t think they fall into the same column.

That said I think the XTRO series has largely run its course. Primitives 5 was the last one we got was primitives v5 in 2016. I think the RecGuides are more of a replacement for the series

Ish?

No XTROs are currently on the drawing board, I can tell you that.

Sartris · « **Reply #51 on:** 18 June 2020, 16:23:37 »

i continue to hold a small amount of hope for Succession Wars vol 2

Luciora · « **Reply #52 on:** 18 June 2020, 16:30:50 »

It was just about observation considering Irregulartech and Golden Century were on the TBA XTRO list, but I'm happy regardless of how they are released.

Right, that's true, they were. At some point I do vaguely recall changing the Coming Releases page to just make them "regular" TROs (though still XTRO-sized), so that should tell you something about where XTROs stand.

Tells me that they're no longer Experimental and moved up the chain to Standard! :D

Sartris · « **Reply #58 on:** 17 August 2020, 20:24:55 »

updated for releases. the Q4 and beyond originally on the coming releases page have been removed but remain here. i assume they will be readded as their release status becomes more concrete

Touring the Stars: Kaumberg has been released.
