Oh yeah, I forgot. There needs to be a book with art of THOMAS HOGARTH!!! in it. I don't care what the book is, but it is needed.

Paper is not manly enough to hold the graven image of THOMAS HOGARTH!!!

Kamov · « **Reply #31 on:** 28 January 2011, 23:55:01 »

XTRO: Hogarth
Era Report: The Age of Hogarth
Operational Turning Points: Hogarth Compilation

Yeah I Know, I said that when I posted it.
Sense not all of us still own a copy of FatW or may have not had a chance, I thought another look at the Refuse War as part of the Historical series would be nice.

Mines pretty trashed so a new one would always be nice...especially with the new artwork they have been bringing out!

Let's take it a step further and do Historical: Fall of the Clans or something like that incorporating the refusal war through to the Great Refusal, maybe call it Historical : the 2nd Star League?

A book or books explaining what is going on or happened in the clan homeworlds as there is only so long one can cruise on "we aren't going to talk about that"

I want something with a more in depth look at of Clan: Widowmaker

I love that clan, no idea why, cause Natasha Kerensky never caught my attention all that much

<Habeas2> ScottSR - All work (art and writing) for the Wars of Reaving project is already underway. The product is scheduled to release in 2011.

Of course, the operative word is "scheduled". All kinds of things can disrupt the schedule.

Well, that's what Herb said during the BattleChat (roosterboy have already posted that quote). Wheather it will actually hit the shelves this year is another question, of course, but I'm trying to hope for the best :)

Something on the Marik Civil War after Janos died would be pretty cool IMO...

Depends on Which Marik Civil War your talking about. Just about as Amaris Coup was about to or going on, House Marik was in state of Civil War over Succession. I found alot folks forget about that one unless they read the old House Book. Handbook does cover it too. I always found little frustrating wars are well named.

Lorcan Nagle · « **Reply #45 on:** 29 January 2011, 19:26:16 »

Well, Davout did specifically mention the Marik Civil War after Janos died, which is in Brush Wars

Isn't the refusal covered in Twilight of the Clans?

The Shattered Sphere sourcebook also features some info as well.

Xir · « **Reply #47 on:** 29 January 2011, 20:47:39 »

I'd like to see

1. War of Reaving
2. 2nd Star League
3. Pirates
4. Amaris Coup
5. Minnesota Tribe

Maybe some Golden Century stuff, if there's any interesting things during that time.

Deathknight69 · « **Reply #48 on:** 29 January 2011, 23:43:32 »

1. Minnesota Tribe
2. Clan Wolverine
3. Clan Widowmaker (including all types regarding bloodnames)

There's a PDF-only Golden Century sourcebook, in case you don't know about it. It's a good read.

The War of Reaving book is news to me and very welcome news at that.

1) War Of Reaving
2) Field Manual update 3085
3) Field Manual update 3130
4) Brush Wars 3085-3130
5) Fact book about important people of 3130
6) Rim Worlds Republic Field Manual

This is actually a REALLY good idea, particularly items 2-4...a nice, simple way to bring us up to DA era but not quite as sudden as the 20 Year Update

http://www.classicbattletech.com/index.php?action=products&mode=full&id=310

There's the product page with links to BattleShop and DriveThruRPG. it's a very good read, with a rundown of the major events of the Century, a profile of Clan Mongoose, Stats for a number of early OmniMechs (as well as a BattleMech, Warship (the Quicksilver Mongoose mentioned in the Du Shi Wang's writeup in TRO: 3075) and Aerospace fighter), Character Generation rules for ATOW, new RATs, a few othe rnice bits. The only point of contention is that 3 pages are dedicated to a rundown of how the different Trials work. It's useful info and I don't think it's in any other in-print book, but I would have preferred a bit more era-specific data.

It is, though I have some issues with one part. Good sum of of the Widowmakers as well...

Hell, I'd be happy just to see the old Wolf's Dragoons sourcebook released as a .pdf. (Bonus points for the Unseen being left in, but even I'm not that much of an optimist. ::) :D)
