It's hard to believe I'm close to finally seeing the community bitch about the developers sucking off their clear favorite, Clan <blank> by making them the big daddy and ruining the setting forever. I almost thought this day would never come.

Was there any Usenet complaining when Smoke Jaguar got smashed? I can't wait for the talk of betrayal to the fanbase that comes up when they actually start doing something with the setting/metaplot again.

I picked up the Wasp and Valkyrie at Gencon. I'm thinking of painting the Wasp up in Genyosha colors and the Valkyrie in Davion Guards colors. Anyone have any interesting recommendation for paint schemes since I probably won't play with them too much?

Catalyst announced that the Beginner Box and the game of armored combat should be out next week (the 23rd). Also announced a bunch of new 35th anniversary BTech gear, including Hoodies (If they make one goon-sized, I am DEFINITELY getting it).

I'm definitely going to be picking these up when they come out because I'm pretty sure they'll be out of print for a bit. I imagine a second printing will be just as delayed too. I know people love to bitch about Catalyst Game Labs but I really can't argue with a lot of criticism now. I'm not even that torn up about these sets being delayed but it seems like they miss every opportunity to bump themselves and Battletech up.

On a Battletech unrelated note, they're just trolling Shadowrun fans now. A lore book and a supplement for Anarchy, which I thought was DOA. Happy 30th!

Does BT still have LAMs?

I remember that they were caught up in some kind of rights struggle but this was 96 or last I paid attention to it.

Yes but they're rare and a mixed bag. The last time they came up was during the Word of Blake Jihad and there was an Iron Wind Metals kickstarter for the WoB ones. Players will swear up and down they're broken but they aren't, it's mostly hearsay based on testimony they heard before.

I think Loren Coleman is into cryptozoology from one day when I was bored and reading up on Bigfoot.

That's a different Loren Coleman. The cryptozoologist usually comes up first in Internet searches.
