Makes sense. Outside of that, everything been the same? Everybody playing the usual assortment of games before this all started?

I stopped by Gen-X today; they have hard copies of both Tac-Ops books. I picked up a copy of MW: Destiny.

also, Madness has the faction specific damage decks for X-wing; are they worth picking up?

The Patton of wargame design, the Berg himself, is being immortally quoted elsewhere.
"Rich Berg once responded to gamers comments about one of his games, "I make this ****** up, so can you.""

"Back in MY day we played Battletech with figures made of LEAD! POISONED LEAD! And the only PAINT we had was RADIOACTIVE! Why, we lost at least THREE or FOUR dear friends every YEAR to BATTLETECH POISONING! But we didn't know any better, and we LIKED IT!
And we rolled DICE for HOURS to play our games! There was none of this plastic clicky nonsense! Our DICE were radioactive TOO! And we had to roll them for hours and hours and hours to track EVERY SINGLE MISSILE! Why, my some of my friends are STILL rolling dice for their last turn when I left Norman THREE YEARS ago! And I don't plan to move back for at least five years and it STILL won't be my turn! But we didn't know any better, and we LIKED IT.

I just had a quick talk with Darrell; he heard something about "The Golden Century" being released.

Anyone know anything?

It's been described extensively up in the New Releases threads. TRO Golden Century is slated for release this Friday, in PDF and PoD form. Also, Era Digest Golden Century is getting rereleased in PoD as a companion.

As the name implies, they cover the period of Clan history prior to Outbound Light and the run-up to the Invasion.

It turns out that the stories Darrell is looking for are in the "Slack Tide" anthology book that recently came out.

I also just picked up the latest two volumes in the Hero Collector Shipyards series: Voyager and Battlestar Galactica  :drool:

ALL the Clans are scum. The Falcons and Jaguars are just a bit more honest about it.

They were being true to the one trait that defines each and every one of Kerensky's Clans: Hypocrisy.

i agree the clans were made to defend the inner spear but it got bastardized to we need to concur them. got to love when a people turn what the founders wanted 180 dagres....like a lot of wars are started that way now and in the past.  at least there is a few that try and follow what was first set out for them.   :D

if the full wolf totem was in the full fight the falcons would of been destroyed but the wolfs would of been in no way able to survive what would come next.  At least what happened they were still a viably clan if just a smaller one.

i wish in Bred for War, they had the black widows defense of the gap played out not just she died bah.

I have a question about the two "Jardine" pdfs. recently added to CGL's catalog. Are they a compilation of previous pubs or new sources?

They were previously published, I think one on BattleCorps and one in this actual forum, down in Fan Fiction. Don't know the previous names.

The third part was never released in any form that I know of, and when all three are out, there will be a PoD compilation.

The third part was partially released and then pulled, IIRC.

Correct.

Parts 1 & 2 were released on BattleCorps. Part 3 started to get released in the Fan Fic boards on these forums (BattleCorps was gone, and I really didn't see any other way to get the story out otherwise), at which point TPTB offered to buy it (they were unaware I was even finishing the story, and the discovery came as a complete surprise to them). Once we reached an agreement, I was asked to pull most of the posted chapters of Part 3.

So, in short: All of Pts 1 & 2 (The Hunt for Jardine and Finding Jardine) were published previously. Part 3 (Escape from Jardine) has never been published in its entirety.

I so want to fake blow stuff up.  Or rather have my stuff blown up since that is the way it usually goes.

I see you on steam from time to time.
On the odd day when I'm not being pulled everywhere, we need to play something.
It's not about winning or losing, no it's all about how many chapters have you added to the rule books after your crazy antics.
