I'm good with digital. Profit margin is probably better for CGL anyway, and I lack the easy storage.

What novels/novellas are currently available for PoD? I was just looking at amazon, and several of the latest fiction selections either do not have a print option or say “currently unavailable”.

Ouch. Looks like a missed a lot of those and everything I missed isn't available on amazon anymore.

We are happy to announce that the novella Divided We Fall is available today in print

Already ordered a copy.

Suggestion for the future: Era Report: 3075, to better and in a more coherent fashion, explain the Jihad without the information being diffused over half a dozen different books and to remove the "news narrator" story telling function.

I already have all the old books. Was wanting to verify the newer ones (thank you though). I know I looked at two or three of those new ones on amazon, but they said print was currently unavailable?

Lethal Heritage and DRT are in PoD now as well

Shoot, I didn't realize that POD was going to be a limited run kind of thing or I'd have snapped them up already. :-\

Sartris · « **Reply #1329 on:** 22 May 2020, 19:50:18 »

It appears that most of the pod is down... hopefully not by design?

At least 5 hours after the new World Wide Event is announced, nothing on the main page here . .

Jags vs Dracs in one of the last pre-Tukayyid battles, in a Cluster's only battle of note. Some new maps it seems as well.

Any idea when this'll be available to non-demo crew?

Colt Ward · « **Reply #1333 on:** 27 May 2020, 09:10:15 »

No clue, I am just mentioning it here b/c while we get an announcement (https://bg.battletech.com/forums/index.php?topic=69564.0) no details can apparently be given on the forum by the announcing party. Since its to be run until Labor Day, I would expect sometime after that . . . IIRC, its usually 1-2 months later at least?

Sartris · « **Reply #1334 on:** 27 May 2020, 09:28:16 »

the 2018 maps were made available as a pdf not long after the fact. would be pretty sweet if they packaged the 2018 and 2020 maps together as a print product

Colt Ward · « **Reply #1335 on:** 27 May 2020, 09:38:59 »

Hopefully this year's are not just a busy update to older maps.

jimdigris · « **Reply #1336 on:** 27 May 2020, 11:26:31 »

These are completely new maps.

Colt Ward · « **Reply #1337 on:** 27 May 2020, 12:09:23 »

Last year's were said to be new too, but they were a update of some of the earliest maps with more woods and hills.

Yeah, I am having a real problem with this as well. I had added most of the new novels/anthologies to my Amazon.ca wishlist and was slowly working through them when I could afford to pick one up. I ordered Front Lines and then shortly thereafter everything dropped to "Unavailable/do not know when or if it will be available again". Ditto in .com; I am not seeing a PoD option and I have bought a number of PoD books from Amazon, some quite recently and none even needed a special option to get them.

Which is only effective/legal until the next edition

SteelRaven · « **Reply #1346 on:** 27 May 2020, 14:26:04 »

Price of one BT box gets me one 40K unit, not counting the cost of paints to make it game 'legal'... I'll stick with BT.

Honestly, at least BT allows me the budget to play other games. You 40K guys are doing waaaay better than me.

Thank you.

I had not seen that. It should be working just like my other PoD books though, correct? Just buy it in dead-tree as per normal, right?

Sartris · « **Reply #1349 on:** 27 May 2020, 15:00:10 »

yeah. before when you ordered something like Forever Faithful, there was no indication it was PoD (or at least it wasn't immediately obvious anywhere I looked on the page). If you order it from Amazon, it's probably going to be PoD (iirc embers of war is the only "new logo" printing that wasn't)
