Wasp and Valkyrie minis!

Limited supply, but that means good things for the future!

Pretty sure those are the acrylic dice . . . and yeah, nice looking.  I have the a pair of swirled Clan dice someone kindly brought back.  My metal FedSuns dice . . . love those just for their weight, lol.

Wait...are you serious about the energy drinks? I don't blame CGL for trying new things, but BT and Shadowrun branded drinks? Maybe other folks will be more interested in that than I am.

Other than that...HOLY MOLY! Giant 3D-printed mechs! Wasp and Valykrie minis for sale! I mean, I did get a Wasp originally before they got pulled, but still. That's exciting news. Books, boxes, part of ilClan, and an actual announcement across multiple media sources! Wowza, good job.

Of course, now I'm sad that I scheduled an event at the same time the vendor hall opens on Thursday! I have a feeling that is going to mean no Shattered Fortress for me till the PDF release.

Yesyesyes! This made my day.

Ladies and Gentlemen, the reports of the Wasp and Valkyries' deaths seem greatly exaggerated  :)

Man, I need some Valkyries.
Good news is the lab boys say the symptoms of asbestos poisoning show an immediate latency of 44.6 years. So if you're thirty or over you're laughing. Worst case scenario you miss out on a few rounds of canasta, plus you've forwarded the cause of science by three centuries. I punch those numbers into my calculator, it makes a happy face.

I'm so excited that Shattered Fortress is coming out!  I just hope the novellas printed version goes off good in October.

The only thing bothers me with The Anvil is Rodney Steiner was a Rifleman IIC pilot.  I hadn't heard of him driving a old school Templar (never mind a modern Templar III).  Unless he got that as a partying gift from the RoTS more recently.

Roderick's ride was a Rifleman IIC, but he ended up working under Jasek Kelswa-Steiner, who used a Templar... so maybe a switch occurred there.

I was Wolverine that the BT franchise was Griffin rudderless, but it Locust like I was wrong. That is an Awesome way to reboot the franchise with a Thunderbolt and lightning display that will get the people's attention and interest. I Commando the work of the CGL team, you have Battlemaster-ed the art of Catapult-ing the game out of the Shadowhawk cast by that other giant stompy robot franchise. Well done!  :thumbsup:

This is why 3D printers, were invented. Forget about 3D printed custom surgical replacement parts for our body or spare parts for machinery in remote locations. It is to be able to print giant stompy robots in any size we want  8)
Incoming fire has the right of way.

The only thing more accurate than incoming enemy fire is incoming friendly fire.

I'll be down for 3D printing when the technology is mature. For now, I have no desire to wade into that morass. I am very happy to just pay the professionals to manufacture things for me.

I got distracted by all that new merch, including those shiny BT Dice (Ghost Bear Dice *drools*)... and then I saw Dracon Piss.... and did a spit take and laughed ....

I'm glad my paycheck came yesterday so I can throw money at people that are going.

Aww.. man, this just sucks. All this stuff is Con exclusive, right? I would love some Shark dice and a new Shark enamel pin if there was one. But chances of getting back to the states for a Con EVER let alone this year is impossible. I would buy these in a heart beat if they were generally available. Hell, I had to Diamond Shark pins, color and black and white I bought at my FLGS one year.

Damn it.
