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

[YingJanshi]

Gulf Breeze was a fun read. Enjoyed it a lot.

Do have a question about the map though...was it meant to be blank? I thought the surface was inhabited?

[Wrangler]

I had the same question. I know there limited budget, i would have loved to at least to have basic schematic of the interior. I know each station's interior varies depending on what's specialty is such as producing sea food, manufacturing small things.  It would have been cool.  However, i know this would cost money.  Just getting that unique CGI (i think it is) picture of the station was nice treat.   I wish the Gulf Breeze Station itself was shown and described more, but again i do understand.

[Gaiiten]

I really, really hope that they will not use the Home Clans as some kind of a loser / space filler, just to show the greatness of the ilClan.

[Annwn]

The old house books have some interesting quirks - are they going to be exact duplicates or are some of these going to be fixed/explained?

[Adrian Gideon]

They are so far down the line that there is no point discussing them at this juncture. Their status is “not off the table.”

The Clans

Descendants of the Star League Defense Force, they returned to the Inner Sphere in 3050 with violence and honor. Stalled by the combined might of the Inner Sphere, the Clans have been waiting for the chance to strike for Terra once more. But fractures within Nicholas Kerensky’s Great Society have widened. A new enemy threatens to destroy the Clans once and for all: themselves. The resulting Wars of Reaving touches every Clan: some will be destroyed, all will be forever altered.

The Wars of Reaving sourcebook details the Clans from 3067 through the end of the Jihad era and includes detailed reports, faction updates, personalities, units, and equipment that have a hand in this widespread orgy of war. Essential gameplay statistics, maps, and a complete campaign allow players to immerse themselves completely within these Wars of Reaving.

Will these also be added to Amazon? It's cheaper to get things shipped from European Amazon stores than from Drivethrurpg, unfortunately.

[Lorcan Nagle]

DTRPG has a European print hub now, and the price for shipping drops significantly if you order in relative bulk.  I'm ordering 10 POD books this week and the shipping cost to Ireland is only €15

Not anytime soon unfortunately.

[Dragon Cat]

I just read Gulf Breeze and it's well worth it.

Firstly the description text is interesting unlike other ravaged worlds this one is more like a safe haven with plenty of natural hazards that would kill you.

I enjoyed the description of the Wheeler Station (and stats for it) it's a cool sounding place.  The sound of the Spider Station is interesting I'd have liked to see stats for that purely to use it elsewhere  ;D

I always thought that the system's habitat was one huge inhabited station with small mining colonies below so it was interesting to read about the amount of different stations and ground habitats.

I also really enjoyed how they dealt with the local Manei Domini...

[Fat Guy]

I like the coupon for a free novel or anthology Catalyst emailed out today.   :thumbsup:

I'm hoping something comes out to use it on before it expires on May 15th.

[Weirdo]

I'm behind on several of the anthologies, I used mine to pick up Grey Markets. :thumbsup:

Was that just directly through email or on the website?

[jimdigris]

I didn't get that email, although I did get one yesterday for A Secret Guide to Fighting Elder Gods kickstarter.

[Fat Guy]

That's the one.

[Sartris]

The cgl store coupon for fiction is at the bottom of that email

[SteelRaven]

It's a code for the CGL online store to be more accurate, almost missed it myself until Fat Guy's post.

[Greatclub]

I just took a look at what javascript the CGL store is running.

Massive 3-inch long list. I think some of that is because canada/international, but wow.


Also, I picked up grey markets and slack tide, and got $5 off, not one book off. I'll take it anyway.

[Nibs]

I decided to pick up TROs Succession Wars, Clan Invasion, and Jihad, along with HTP: Antallos and Objectives: The Clans.

 :)

[Doom]

HTP: Antallos is an underrated gem.

[Kojak]

I'm reading TtS Gulf Breeze, and...am I the only one confused by this?:

In 3060, a daring “pirate” raid of well-informed, well-equipped raiders attempted to board Gulf Breeze Station and seize rare alloys and components meant for XL engines and ER PPCs. The surviving raiders were taken into custody by the Lyran Intelligence Corps and remain officially unidentified—though some “pirates” were mercenaries personally known as the Basilisk Assault Squadron, which had been defending the system.

So were they defending the system, or did they join the pirates in the attack? Or was it just some of them? I don't understand what this was trying to convey, especially since the entry on the Basilisk Assault Squadron in MercSuppII makes it pretty clear they were unambiguously the defenders in that particular incident.

[nckestrel]

I’m assuming some betrayed their employer and their own fellow mercs to show the pirates where to attack.  Or the mercs were infiltrated before hand.

[Dragon Cat]

HTP: Antallos is an underrated gem.

I enjoyed that one too

[Weirdo]

Maybe a typo? The whole thing makes perfect sense if you change "personally known as" to "personally known to". Also, better grammar.

[hf22]

I had assumed it was a typo for "previously known as", which would also work. Though the data from MercSuppII perhaps makes "personally known to" more likely.

[Weirdo]

Yeah, Basilisk squadron was active all through the 3060s and Jihad, joining the RAF at the end. A few Medusan personnel going pirate in 3060 is plausible, but a large chunk of the squadron might be pushing it.

[Liam's Ghost]

Mercenary Supplemental II indicates Basilisk Squadron were the defenders in the attack, so almost certainly a typo.

[Snake Eyes]

I got that CGL coupon too, spent it on a t-shirt  :thumbsup:

[Frabby]

Is the coupon code perchance straddled with a typo? Or should I use it as-is?

Also, I wanted to use the coupon on the A Face Full of Blades anthology, but I seem to be unable to find it on the Catalyst store. Can anyone help?

[Sartris]

Pretty sure that’s only on amazon

[RanFelsnerAFFS]

Is the coupon code perchance straddled with a typo? Or should I use it as-is?

You can use it as is.
