JPArbiter: Let's see what's going on in the Btech news today

*Turns over rock*

JP: NOPE!

Short version, not addressing Mr. Pardoe's lawsuit in the September show. All we got is a news story of a suit being filed, no other facts, just Mr. Pardoe's allegations.

allegations which some credence does need to be given, and the evidence must be weighed in trial *presuming no out of court settlement*

We will keep an eye on this, but for now it's not even a nothing-burger, it is the ingredients of what COULD be a nothing burger spread out on the kitchen counter.

Ironwinds new Mad Cat Mk IV. It is as tall as the Mad Cat Mk I mini in the box set, bit I think I like the lower more forward “Predatory” posture

Either way, if you want a premium “leader” mini, this is worth the 25 dollar price point.

I hope everyone is careful in North Kansas City, our home town. They are under a water boil order. Stay safe, thinking of you all at Gencon.

Filed under “things I was not ready for.”

Some guy was getting Battletech writers to autograph his copy of TRO 3025. When asked if I wanted in I said “I’m just a shrapnel guy, and this came out when I was 2!”

The owner of the book shoved a pen in my hand, declaring that it counts.

so somewhere out there is a copy with my signature on it.

Our slot as guest Masters for Masters and Minions got lost and bumped off during the Catalyst Demo Teams leadership transition.

Big bummer, but hopefully we can do something about it last minute. If not, we still look forward to at least watching the carnage and having a good time everywhere else

Heading to Indy now. It’d be so much faster to fly, but we’ve been driving there since 2006. It’s the journey we love.

So what mech are you looking forward to driving the most in MW5 The Clans?

I am really looking forward to either the Huntsman or the Ebon Jaguar, personally

yet another failure from the "Keep Politics out of Battletech" crowd.

I guess proper Birth Control is Lostech, even to the Clans.

despite both Peri Watson and Malvina Hazen explaining Clan Birth Control Practices....

AND they also put politics in Battletech. Way to fail three times ITTF!

So I got to ask…

Do you folks want your fiction to just be narrated gameplay?

Cause if your additude is like Mr. ferguson’s here, that is exactly what you will get, and Battletech fiction will be truly dead.

No Ace Darwin’s irreverent and unlikely adventures

no Anastasius Focht being Fredrick Steiner in a past life,

no Cassie Suthorn’s PTSD fueled hatred of Battlemechs,

no Hanse gifting the Cappelan Confederation to Melissa ,

No Grayson Carlye feeling betrayal that a local girl sold him out to Duke Ricol

We can just hire CS Goto to churn out mech p**n and go on autopilot till the money runs out.

Knock this off.
