I'm seriously considering getting the PoD of the First and Second Succession Wars.

Can anyone comment on the quality from past iterations of the PoD? Shipping to South Africa will probably end up being pricey.

I have the House Arano PoD and a novel(or two?). Had I not known they were PoD when I ordered them, I'd have never known.

House arano is indistinguishable from a standard book. Anyone get WoR On pod? That’s the most comparable

Just read through Spotlight On: Crazy Eights. Most amusing read from BT I've seen in some time ;D

Would love to see Pejman's slapping the Charger in a short story one day, and I'm also curious to know what was on the reading list for the Crazy 8s Christmas Raids. Or if they also dropped off morale packs with Hunky Hanse and Belissima Melissa dolls.

I'll be honest, I got a real classical British Army feel from the Crazy Eights.

Complete with the Jacobite Toast.

I've looked at both my original copy and PoD copy of Wars of Reaving, and I can confirm that they are practically indistinguishable from each other. The PoD is high quality.

That's to be expected from a well-known anglophile like 3CL.

I don't see why a Spotlight On Jardine is that strange, we've already had at least one Spotlight On a dead world, Bob, so there's no requirement for it to be still living world.

Weirdo · « **Reply #1207 on:** 16 May 2020, 02:56:44 »

I think it's fairly clear that simply being dead is NOT what made Jardine so interesting.

Daryk · « **Reply #1208 on:** 16 May 2020, 03:44:23 »

Jardine is about the last world I would have expected to see get a TTS...

*sigh* Bob. What a fun place, and all for a throwaway line I put in a story, inspired by a fun discussion with Oystein...

(There have been a few dead worlds, actually; McEvedy's Folly, Tyrfing, and New Dallas come to mind as well...)

I love the Crazy Eights book was great. I wish they had made stats for the Pejman's folly. Hoping it had been uniquely modified.

We have a lot more things to announce.
Just don’t want to overwhelm or overpromise.

Overwhelm us? Ain't happening. >:D

Overpromise? Yes, always best to err on the side of caution unfortunately. :(

Adrian Gideon · « **Reply #1212 on:** 16 May 2020, 14:58:15 »

No, overwhelm us.

But alright, here’s one thing: we should be starting to drop Herb Beas’ Forgotten Worlds on the same day.

Yea, you did a good enough job at that with the Kickstarter. No need to do it again. ;)

I was starting to wonder what had happened to that project. Good to see it's not on the backburner after all (please tell me your post meant it isn't).

See? Now I'm [more?] paranoid.

I'm picturing you ambushing me on the street with an air cannon, and firing fresh Battletech product at me until my defenses collapse, and I am forced to surrender.

Fat Guy · « **Reply #1220 on:** 17 May 2020, 14:08:30 »

Well since klarg 1 seems genuinely distressed about being ambushed, please scratch him off the list and put me in his place.

Please?

'Consult a lawyer, then a pipefitter' would be my recommendation. You might have to settle for a potato gun, if even that.

I thought that is what fluid guns were for- you could load it with any sort of liquid to douse a target.

IMO, the question is what merc unit that has a mech refitted with fluid guns have the biggest beer bashes?
