I know it's just a typo, but all I can picture is someone battering at a book with a pair of shrunken heads.

I'm not sure how long you've been around on the forums, though you have a thousand posts. Never take anything JKlantern says seriously unless it's about food.

Hunh. Well... (shrug) I just post the links, not set up the product in the various systems. But that also means I can't say for certain whether it'll appear in your hands on Thursday. Check back in and let us know!

Missed my opportunity to make an Iron Womb joke. Dammit.

Battletech transport rules take a very feline approach to moving troops in a combat zone: If they fits, they ships.

I spent an undue amount of time trying to tie it in to PoD, the little-known PC racing game from 1997, but...well, whatever.

Obviously the contemporary joke would have been referencing PoD as something millenials eat.
