Upcoming Releases Volume XV: Pitter Patter Let's Get At'er

[Wrangler]

Who did the art work? Anthony Scroggins ? It's very nice.

[Cubby]

The cover is in fact an homage to the covers of the previous two print editions, Shin Yodama’s first encounter with “Toads.” It was done by Alex Iglesias.

I also included the artist in the first paragraph of my post. Here's doing new cover for the other two books in the trilogy also.

[RifleMech]

Art is in process, same for TRO IrregularTech. Hoping to have some preview art to share in the not-too-distant future. It'll be in this thread and on social media and the website when ready.

An introduction era for new players needs intro tech 1st, 2nd and 3rd. And then - maybe - some standard tech.

Please, please, for the love of god, let's not go down this road again.

Why couldn't there be a variety of tech levels per era?  ??? The tech still exists and is still in use. Plus it'd make more sense to have intro units for each era than force new players start in the late 3rd Succession War and then have to jump a hundred years to play in the currant era. According the the MUL there's currently 13 introductory mechs available during the Dark Ages. Why not give them updated fluff to show their use during the past 50 years? That way new players can start playing in the Dark Ages?

What’s the mad cat icon in the lower right?

Does this mean our e-pub will change to that cover?

FWIW it has in the cgl store

[Lorcan Nagle]

What’s the mad cat icon in the lower right?

The Clan Invasion era icon, looks like.

[LightGuard]

*Looks at the new Lethal Heritage art, then at the ROC art...*

...so, can I just print that out and tape it over the original? Asking for a friend...

[Sartris]

The Clan Invasion era icon, looks like.

Ah, yup. That it is.

[Starbuck]

We are pleased to announce that "Legal Heritage", The Blood of Kerensky trilogy book one, . . .

legal or lethal. no big difference - if you ask a clanner.  ;D  :D

[Sartris]

A coalition of the Inner Sphere's best attorneys is assembled to combat their greatest threat - a litigious onslaught from beyond the bar spearheaded by Kerensky and Ward - hostile takeover specialists since 2821

WHO WILL EMERGE WITH A SUMMARY DECISION


LEGAL HERITAGE

(invaded by mutants from beyond? call Kurita and Yodama today)

[Cubby]

Mods, split this off please? Looks like people want to keep going for the 500th time on this, but I don't want them doing it here.

[Bedwyr]

Done. I think I got them all...

In any case, the tech level discussion is considered off topic. Please direct your posts on that subject here: https://bg.battletech.com/forums/index.php?topic=68583.0

Any chance Rigil Kentares or Gulf Breeze shows up this year?

[Cubby]

Finished the edit on Rigil last month. Literally finalizing Gulf Breeze now to send tonight.

The reason they're not high priority is that they're money losers.

So are maps. To an even higher degree.

I understand that the heavy stock hexpack ones were. But a lot of that was overproduction, the then-availability of fanpro map compilations, and the heavy cardstock material.

CGL guys, you willing to tell us if mappack: grasslands made money? Or at least wasn't a loss? Because several of the above problems aren't relevant to the new product.

The big issue was that the price of cardboard went up, so it becomes hard to justify the prices required to actually make a profit.

No -- but it's getting a reprint, if that points you in the right direction.

Here's something to add a little 'color' to your day! 56 pages of fun and activities, coming soon to PDF and POD!

[Frabby]

Is it canon? ::)

[Cubby]

Yes, including any and all 'Mechs constructed with the cut-out "Build Your Own Mech" pages. Let's get weird.

I just hope the mazes aren't like these:

*Lightning flashes*

I can't wait to build my own Frankenstein's Mech! *Insert mad cackling here*

Also, will it be pay what you want or will it be a couple bucks? Either way, my AmEx is ready and waiting.

(Psst: Even if it's free, I'll still go buy several other products to cover it... :D ;D )

Easily my favorite thing in the book, though the codes are close.

("Drink...more....Timbiqui Dark??? Aww $#%#!!")

Not sure. Likely not free free, because design work went in.

I just hope the mazes aren't like these:

Oh look, a graphical depiction of life right now.

[Lorcan Nagle]

I just hope the mazes aren't like these:

Those two are proposed roadmaps to peace in the Inner Sphere.

[Wrangler]

With enough C8 explosives, you can get through any maze.  :))

[abou]

The real Smoke Jaguar maze.

[NeonKnight]

I just hope my maze is this easy :D

[Colt Ward]

My toddler will love being able to color mechs on his own . . . when we remember to get the crayons down from the highest shelf.

[Wrangler]

Be kinda neat this came out on April Fools Day.  :D Still paying for it and canon but maybe that could be the day?
