- Следующие поворотные точки - Luzerne, в данный момент на исправлении

- Дата релиза кланового ящика все еще остается неизвестной
- романы Темного века возродятся на корпсе в новой форме(will resume in some form)
- трупик корпса агонизирует, Джейсон все так же отмазывается, что не хватает историй. Понимай как - никто не хочет работать на халяву
- TRO 3067 будет перепечатан в середине года
- возможно будет ТРО 3150
Источник январский чат

На 8-ое марта что ли выкинут?

[Rabid Coyote]

Для милых дам - Historical: Liberation of Terra Vol 1

[KolbunD]

Могу предположить, что первая часть притормозит на завоевании Саней Республики, естессно с картами, маршрутами и прочими няшками. Вторая уже будет про поход на Терранскую Гегемонию

[DeJaVu]

Судя по твиттеру, каталисты готовятся выпустить дайсы с фракциями. Тестовые образцы

[Siberian-troll]

You ask a fair question, Siberian-troll! Here's the answer: we've had a few small glitches--which is not unusual for any brand new program, but fear not, new fiction is on the way. I'm putting the finishing touches on GBL, Part II right now and hope to get it into editing in the next week or so. Look for publication in April, with Jason's next piece going up in May . . .

Короче говоря, насчет Блицкригов раз в месяц нам насвистели. Следующая часть мишек будет в апреле, следующая часть хеллиончиков - в мае.

А про War of Reaving: Supplemental Ничего не известно?

[Siberian-troll]

А про War of Reaving: Supplemental Ничего не известно?

12:16:27 Gaiiten Can you tell us something more about the content of the Supplemental?
12:17:27 Habeas2 Gaiiten - Ben Rome can answer that best. Ben, the question is about content of the WoR supplemental
12:18:54 GhostBear WoR Supplemental? Okay. Four Clan entries. Setting is a 3090 readiness report, on the cusp of the invasion. And some info on four now-dead Bandit groups.
12:20:07 GhostBear The main thrust of the WoRS is a big RAT listing, and probably close to 25 record sheets.

Дразнилки их твиттера Роума:

"If it is possible for a caste to loathe the Coyotes more than the warriors, it is that of the Cobra scientists."

"The first contest, held in Strana Mechty, saw the Cobra’s Cataclysm take the top honors."

"Several years later, the Coyotes have become the main source of transportation vessels now trickling into Kerensky space."

"The Coyote Council recently ruled that warriors in other Clans with the Winson legacy could do the same with no fear of Coyote reprisal."

"Khan Talasko’s operation was a partial success, minus 42nd Adder Cavaliers, the 69th Dragoon Cluster, and the Pegasus."

"The destruction of the Cloud Cobra WarShip Damascus at Wolf 81 in 3086 was an extreme example of the Clan’s dedication to the Ward ideal."

Yep, I'm working on WOR Supplemental.

"Those who still infest the nooks & crannies of the Kerensky Cluster live on borrowed time; once discovered, swift annihilation is certain."

"The Jaguar’s band also had the use of two Tramp JumpShips, stolen from a forgotten Clan Widowmaker merchant caste cache."

"Once a caste leader in Clan Coyote, Pierce turned to masterminding an elaborate smuggling network."

"The Surats connected with Commodus Van Houten when he was cut loose from the Prinz Eugen."

"For the Society, a unit could be one BattleMech, three battle armor troopers, ProtoMechs, or aerospace fighters, or seven vehicles."


В общем, скоро, очень скоро... подожди недельку...

А про War of Reaving: Supplemental Ничего не известно?

Известно. Текст книжки был дописан буквально вчера: http://benhrome.wordpress.com/2012/03/23/supplemental-war-stories/

Содержание книжки (рабочий вариант):

Looking Back
Khans of the Grand Council:
An oft-used adage is one that is trotted out in the aftermath of disaster, noting how those who ignore history are doomed to repeat it. While many of our newer blood would prefer to assign those wise words to the tainted people of the Inner Sphere, they cannot. It is an ancient Terran creed—predating even the Star League—and one that has proved correct time and time again.

Even to us, the survivors of the Clans.

Thanks to the diligence of our Watch, this report serves more as a warning than as prediction. Knowing how our enemies from within existed, we can set our sights upon our present and prevent another murderous future. I fear that if there is a next time, none of us will survive.

Looking Ahead
My Khan:
As requested, I have compiled our most recent Watch reports from Loremaster Paik and loaded them onto the system. I have attached a summary of each Clan for quick review to prepare you for the upcoming Grand Council meeting. After looking them over myself, the proposed invasion plan you have in mind stands a very good chance of success—as long as we appeal to each Clans’ interest. As Stanislov N’Buta said, “Appease your enemy’s basest instinct and the mind will follow in blood.”

И еще одна порция тизеров:
- "While it is certain that a remnant of the Mob remains plying the space lanes, they have been non-existent in Clan space."

- "Many within the Clan called for a unilateral purge of the technology, citing the lingering stigma that existed with regards to Coyote."

- "Built in the Inner Sphere, the design is considered Tainted; the few remaining in Clan space were dismantled after the Reavings."

- "With their higher number of aerospace forces and production facilities, the Cobras frequently refuse safcon."

- "The main factory of this Jade Falcon design was destroyed on Ironhold during the Steel Viper’s assault in the early 3070s."

- "Clan Star Adder’s leadership—and the majority of its warriors—prefer heavy and assault class ‘Mechs that blend speed and firepower."

Известно. Текст книжки был дописан буквально вчера:

О!!! Колоссаль, даст ис фантастишь! - Пускаю слюни в предвкушении и заранее готов простить будущие ляпы за декларированные няшки: Танит, куча фракций ДаркКасты и ганзейцы со скорпионо-хеллионами в комплекте - мой моск замкнуло накоротко.

[Юджин]

Вот это я понимаю! Полезная книжка...

[Hobbit]

Продолжаем:

There are a mind-boggling FIFTY record sheets in this supplemental. Just added 3 aerospace fighters to round it off.

- "Likewise, heavy combat left the Cobras with fewer ‘Mech factories than its fellow Clans."

- "Crossbow: Rare even before the Reavings, the Crossbow’s single factory was destroyed in 3074."

- "What few remained of this anachronistic design were taken by the Goliath Scorpions when they fled into the Deep Periphery."

- "The Stone Lions have trialed for and won most of the salvaged systems; no Clan has chosen to construct these components."

- "Possession of such material is immediate grounds for a Trial of Annihilation."

- "We must become a bastion of honor in these dark days, until the light we guard can burn away the blackened husk of our enemies.”

- “In order to bring the light to the outer darkness, we must not hide behind bulwarks of honor but be aggressive in purifying...”

- "The movement’s strongest adherents are found, ironically, within Clan Star Adder."

- "The system is now the Clan’s primary stronghold, producing nearly three-quarters of the Cobra’s military equipment and standard hardware."

- "The Coyotes were the last to declare all of their useable bloodlines free from taint; the McTighe and Jerricho lines were cleared in 3089."

- "While group Communions are still allowed and encouraged, the khans felt that personal introspection was important in the new era."

- "In 3086, the Clan Council authorized a new rite of passage within the Clan, the Cleansing Path."
