It's about time we see more audiobooks coming out for Battletech that is unabridged.

rebs · « **Reply #421 on:** 28 January 2020, 23:18:30 »

Now that would be fantastic, unabridged audio books. Especially of the entire catalogue.

Provided stores pick up on the new stuff and stop saying BT is dead.

Yeah, but BT died like two decades ago. I feel like most people got the message.

No, FASA died. FanPro simply did not have the same presences when they continued the line, WK had stuff on the selves but a different game that split the community.

A mistake I hope never to see repeated, we can't afford it.

CGL has done a great job IMO, I don't see Topps licensing out the IP to a second party right now.

As for us fans, we just need to not split the community... Which seems to be hard thing to do for some. Gamers seem to have a built in gate keeper mentally as they get older that only hurts the community as a whole, chasing away new fans and alienating others.

Deadborder · « **Reply #427 on:** 01 February 2020, 17:23:32 »

MWDA saved the franchise. It's the reason why WizKids were willing and able to licence the IP to FanPro to make Classic Battletech products. Without MWDA we wouldn't have Battletech today, at least not in its current form.

This is a point that's been covered numerous times in past.

SteelRaven · « **Reply #428 on:** 01 February 2020, 17:27:51 »

Only reason I bring up it is up to the community to not split the fan base. If you don't like DA, cool, just don't slam those who do. I mean, I don't go around denouncing the card game just because I don't like card games. It brought new fans to the table, we need more of that more than ever.

Yeah, like selling millions of miniatures in a period of success that the property had never seen before or since.

...wait.

Back on topic folks.

Looking forward to more audio books and PODs.

Indeed. The DA vs. BT discussion isn't going to go anywhere helpful, so argument over before it starts. Mod's orders.

Hey Cubby, are there any plans to restock the T-Shirts and Sweatshirt that are available on the CGL store? All the main sizes have been out of stock for some time now.

I would love to get one of the T-shirts, got to spread the good word of Battletech around.

Good question. There's recently been talk of new shirts and swag for this year, so it's a good time for me to ask.

Cool. Would love to get another sweatshirt and another Marauder t-shirt. Thanks for the quick response! :thumbsup:

Per the (backer-only) KS Update #83, a second printing of MapPack: Green is on a ship.

There's a lot of reprint and retailer-release news I've gotta get together soon, just buried under other BT work. (And real work, and life stuff.)

I just want to see reprints of the first succession and second succession war books so I can finally get my hand on a physical copy

What are the chances this year that ILCLAN sourcebook will be published?

They said it was coming this year so there’s a fair chance

Like I said two posts above yours, I have a comprehensive update on that, which I hope to publish this week.

15-20%.

Is that -5% or 15-(15*0.8)=3?
