They've been doing that since before leet speak was really a thing. GRF-1N, MAD-3R, and CRD-3R, for example.

The best one was the Oink.

STOP IT STOP TORTURING ME

How did I never see OINK? The others occurred to me as silly, but the OINK is awesome.

MarauderD · « **Reply #1384 on:** 28 May 2020, 13:09:08 »

OUCH! probably deserved. ;D

Great, now I'm going to wast so much time thinking of a can ham joke for the Orion.

ANS Kamas P81 · « **Reply #1386 on:** 28 May 2020, 13:19:46 »

And now you know why I call Panthers Punts. Also the Orion is totally an Oinker...

Sorry, it was not a personal remark, its just one of my favorite ones. We were in the field one time and a guy had a conflict and did not show up till the next day as excused by command. So when he walked into the CP and was getting the run down of where things where at and what we were doing . . . I told him that before we left the armory we had to sign off and accept a new form for some REMF BS. He needed to go check with the admin (E7) to get the ID-10T form and fill it out so it could be submitted to personnel.

We all watched him turn around, leave the track and go to the next tent where admin was set up. Everyone was quietly laughing as soon as he was out of sight. I could have gone on with it, we had someone in the track who did not get it- spelled it out on the log sheet for them.

It never gets old, and I have used it several times . . . but military paperwork and forms makes it so easy.

Pure evil, Ward.

Oink? ... nope, missed that one too. Poor Orion. I can see the clans getting very upset at spheroids. I bet the Snords had something to do with this.

POD books through Amazon should now all be back up and available.

Are you allowed to tell us what happened?

I mean, we don't really have a need to know, but tales of Murphy striking are usually interesting.

My intent is to do one each issue, tied to a notable battle from the MW:DA books. And, ideally, one that shaped the path to 3150 in an important way.

Ah, if that's the purpose of the magazine, I can stop sweating not receiving the link. Glad I didn't sign up for more.

Sartris · « **Reply #1392 on:** 28 May 2020, 16:17:26 »

it's the purpose of the scenarios - the fiction spans the timeline (Stackpole's serial is kell hounds-related)

Daryk · « **Reply #1393 on:** 28 May 2020, 16:19:24 »

There were early indications the magazine would be era agnostic. It now appears its purpose is to push things toward 3150. No skin off my nose, but don't expect me to read it.

You're basing this entirely on the existence of a single chaos campaign track in the the issue. the vast majority of the content for issue 1 is Clan Invasion.

You are misinterpreting.

The magazine is era-agnostic.

The scenarios are building to 3150, and only them.

Even more than that- the 4 scenarios in the first four issues are supporting the latest published sourcebook. We have no indication that the scenarios would not come out supporting any pre-Invasion material if that was the era the sourcebook was going to cover.

Daryk · « **Reply #1397 on:** 28 May 2020, 16:53:27 »

I'll be happy to be proved wrong. Haven't received the link though, so who knows when that will be...

Sartris · « **Reply #1398 on:** 28 May 2020, 17:14:35 »

Code: [Select]

Sniper Rifles: Death from a Distance (article) - no era
Unit Digest: Eridani Light Horse 11th Recon Battalion (profile) - post-TF Serpent through the Republic era

If Auld Acquaintance Be Forgot (serial novel) - 3010

Grim Sentence (story) - 3049
The Flames of Idlewind (story) - 3050
Airs Above the Ground (story) - 3050
Yesterday's Enemy (story) - 3052
Tales from the Cracked Canopy (story) 3058

Missing Duke Spurs Demonstration (article) - 3094
Forgotten Heroes, Slandered Honor (story) - 3096
"Mother of Resistance" Dead on Vipaava (article) - 3125

CC Scenario: Target of Opportunity (scenario) - 3135
Wars and Rumors (story) - 3149
Secrets of the Sphere: The Cameron Question (article) - 3150

of course, as an era-agnostic publication (that is, spread across most eras) you're not going to have a great time if you've decided most of the timeline isn't your cup of tea

Daryk · « **Reply #1399 on:** 28 May 2020, 17:20:23 »

This is true, but if the heart of the publication is elsewhere, I'll be giving it a pass... [/grognard]

VensersRevenge · « **Reply #1400 on:** 28 May 2020, 17:32:02 »

And the Cracked Canopy story really takes place in 3058, the 3090 period is a framing device.

Anyone got that list again of what came out of the last year or so? Want to make sure I don't miss it again.

That's it. Click the link and it downloads. Open the zip and you get the epub, mobi and pdf files. YOu don't have to go through CGL Store like you have to for the novellas.

Sartris · « **Reply #1408 on:** 28 May 2020, 18:44:00 »

No I meant where do you have to create an account?

Daryk · « **Reply #1409 on:** 28 May 2020, 18:48:32 »

I saw store in the url and assumed that would require an account (just like the other digital content I have received through the KS). Since that's not the case, I'll give it a try...
