Jason Hardy explores the dark depths and ethics of knowing someone's inner disposition in Stolen Thoughts!

Henry is a skilled hacker that is too curious for his own good. When he decides to hack into someone's mind, he finds that his ex-girlfriend is about to land herself in a dragon's trap. Even though he got the information in the worst way, would it be just as bad to act on it to protect his former lover?

Learn how not-invincible a Mr. Johnson can be in Nothing Personal, as read by Ryan H. Reid and Sarah Krause in this all-new audiobook!

A Mr. Johnson is there for one, important purpose. They are there to hire you for a job. But make no mistake, they aren't your ally. They will stab you in the back if it puts them on top. More than one runner has wanted to turn the tables on their Mr. Johnson and flip that knife on them. Sometimes, it does happen, and it does lead to a small form of karmic justice...

Iron Wind Metals is our top partner when it comes to BattleTech!

With their classic sculpts and our modern designs filling out their roster, you can find nearly anything you want to field in your BattleTech games. From old school sculpts of 'Mechs to modern redesigns, from hovercraft to flying Battle Armor, the IWM team has you covered!

If you get a chance, stop by their shop in Cincinnati or check out their website below! You may even find some cool minis that aren't even BattleTech!

Guard your treasure in this fast-paced dice game, Fandooble and the Dragon's Eye!

Push your luck as you slay dragons, loot gems, and steal your foes' treasure hoard! But be careful, for if you run into a trio of dragons, you could lose everything. And should the thief, Fandooble, show up, he can steal the legendary Dragon's Eye gem!

This deceptively simple game is great to play with your adventuring party, whether they be young and spritely warriors or wizened and ancient wizards.

We were taking a stroll through a gorgeous garden and felt some tension in the air.

Tune into http://twitch.tv/GenConTV Thursday at 7PM ET to catch our interview with editor, publisher, and ghostwriter Claire Levijoki!

Then at 8PM we have Shadowrun Emerald Glitch “A Fistful of Bucks”. Our Shadowrunner team has found itself defined by its enemies. The latest push by the Dissian threat to eliminate the Defenders has targeted the team, thus firmly pushing them into Grey Cell. The team is attacked from within as a Dissian operative has replaced their face for a third time. Join us as we work through the Lethal Harvest, Catalyst's latest Shadowrun plot sourcebook.

We have some new faces and returning friends in this week's Hobby Hangout! Let's jump right into it!

Weidbrewer starts us off with a "bang"! Marcus Barton is stomping in with his infamous Devastator! Great job!- https://bsky.app/profile/weidbrewer.bsky.social

Our friend Nightmoss is back with another cool Leviathans kitbash! Why not rep the sky pirates with the Queen Anne's Revenge?

Weirdo gives this fun IWM sculpt some love with a Solaris VII Hombre's Morpheus! Those claws are scary!

elder_jester did a BEAUTIFUL job on this jumping Thunderbolt! It is in a custom scheme and we hope to see more of it soon! - https://www.instagram.com/p/DGCoG5XsymZ/?img_index=1&igsh=eGpiM2Vnc210eDVu

This Marauder IIC is in the corner staring at us and PsychokillerMike is at the helm! Clan Jade Falcon Gamma Galaxy can be utterly terrifying!

Lord Argmak wanted to really emphasize their Atlas' Demoralizer SPA, so it led to this awesome scheme! I didn't realize we had a 'Mech horror theme this week!

Showing off his own Atlas, Peter J Kerensky brought in this orange and drab monstrosity! That is really well done!- https://www.instagram.com/looneyplayer/

Warlockami comes in with a pair of Shilones, a StarSlayer, and an Ostroc! The schemes will really stand out in their Hinterlands campaign!

Repping the Scorpion Empire's Scorpion Keshik, Lyinar painted up this Highlander IIC! It feels ALMOST too new for Goliath Scorpion, but oh well!

The Goose Whisperer wraps us up with a custom paint scheme on an assault lance! They were all pretty, but this BattleMaster stood out! (It was the canopy!)

If you’d like to participate in our weekly Hobby Hangout, BattleTech or otherwise (Shadowrun? Leviathans? Voltron?), you can find out more on our Discord, https://discord.gg/catalystgamelabs!

We have worked closely with the Pathfinder crew at Paizo to develop Runefire.

This has led to us being able to use some of their amazing art for the game!
While these card designs and art pieces are not final, it should give you an idea about how the game is going to look!

The much anticipated sourcebook, IlKhan's Eyes Only, is now available!

Advance the ilClan Era forward to 3152. Alaric Ward has taken Terra with Clan Wolf. The Capellan Confederation is regrouping after their failed bid to take the heart of humanity. And the rest of the Inner Sphere is still reeling at the news of the Clans' victory over the Republic of the Sphere.

Including a full roster of unit profiles for key players in the core of humanity, a full historical summary of events in those regions, and much more, IlKhan's Eyes Only marks a major step forward for the ilClan Era!

Agatha and Justin take point in confronting the suspected mine bomber. Instead of approaching the disgruntled father of a disfigured six year-old, they approach him in a way to hopefully change the foundations, and the laws, of New London for the better.
