Thanks Aresneo, that's a good update. I would wager a lot of us would have missed it (including myself).

I didn't realize the books covering various parts of the Inner Sphere were Hot Spots books, that's what series is called?  That's cool it has name for them. I was in dark what heck refer the books to other than sourcebooks.

What heck is Liya??  :huh:

Hot Spots Hinterlands is a yet unreleased book.  Tamar Rising, Empire Alone, Dominikns Divided and ilKhan’s Eyes Only made not Hot Spots books.

Rem mentioned it would be based on Jason Hardy being on the next Newsday, so I assume it's not BattleTech related (maybe Shadowrun or other RPG announcement?).

BattleRun is now the third flagship IP at Catalyst.

He's now the uber RPG wizard and they had announced they have a license to Voltron IP. It could be that.

I keep hoping for Combat Manual Davion but recently saw it was slated for May now.  Maybe something else?

I heard some of the stuff made it to the "warehouse" that has been stuck in shipping, let's hope.

These guys got 'em, along with a shipload of L'eggs Eggs.

"We have made of New Avalon a towering funeral pyre and wiped the Davion scourge from the universe.  Tikonov, Chesterton and Andurien are ours once more, and the cheers of the Capellan people nearly drown out the gnashing of our foes' teeth as they throw down their weapons in despair.  Now I am made First Lord of the Star League, and all shall bow down to me and pay homa...oooooo! Shiny thing!" - Maximillian Liao, "My Triumph", audio dictation, 3030.  Unpublished.

Thank you I just heard that song at a indie wrestling event, so you can have EMF and Unbelievable for that.

They used to say The Knack were going to be the next Beatles. My Sherona was OK and all but it’s hardly a Lennon/McCartney. 

As for the pirates, let’s hope they roll snake eyes for their checks when they accost the ship carrying BT product to our hands.

Imagine him doing a battletech novel.

From what I recall of his Prelude to Dune, Butlerian Jihad and Star Wars novels, have to agree with the noes above.
All Clan totems are equal but some are more equal than others.

"The Succession Wars solved no problem. Their effects, both immediate and indirect, were either negative or disastrous. Morally subversive, economically destructive, socially degrading, confused in their causes, devious in their course, futile in their results, they are the outstanding example in Spheroid history of meaningless conflict."
The Third Star League's view of the Succession Wars, plagiarised from an ancient Terran historian's judgement of the Thirty Years War.
