HABEAS2
Next two XTRs assigned. Next print TR in solicitation. Need to outline a new Historical tomorrow, assign the next JHS, and prep more ICAs.

After a kid-sick-filled weekend, great to dive into some emails and one of the first is a few laid out Klondike sections to review. rnb

Randall, I vote we just skip February. So far, not very good! --AJ

And anyone waiting on the return of the BattleChat may need to wait a bit longer as it seems the BatleCorps site's chat software is woefully out of date and needs a complete replacement. Such is life, but remember what I was offering: You guys would have only been chatting with me in real time once a month. And half of my answers would likely have been Standard. This is what we get in a day and age where folks would rather curse you out for missing a promise date or failing to deliver on a project you are even more excited about than they are--only to have cold reality smack you in the face like its bitch.

In other news, having production meetings via Skype is a great way to kill 2 hours of time while feeling like you're actually accomplishing something. It also gave me the opportunity to say "kick him in the junk for me" a few more times than is my normal weekly quota.

In still more news: At this moment, there are 19 Experimental Tech Readouts on my "to do" list, with two completed, two assigned, and 15 more to assign. What's going INTO them is also already assigned (much to the chagrin of the writers, no doubt), and because I'm generous and gluttonous enough for this kind of abuse, here's the title rundown, in no particular order:

XTR: Mercenaries
XTR: Pirates
XTR: ComStar
XTR: Gunslingers
XTR: Phantoms
XTR: House Steiner
XTR: House Marik
XTR: House Liao
XTR: House Kurita
XTR: Periphery
XTR: Boondocks
XTR: Primitives (volume I)
XTR: Republic of the Sphere
XTR: Primitives (volume II)
XTR: Corporations
XTR: Primitives (volume III)
XTR: Gladiators
XTR: Clans

The actual details of what's inside each XTR is, of course, a state secret, but each will come with 13 units, including a minimum of 4 BattleMechs, 2 Vehicles, and 2 Aerospace units.

Also, for those who follow my ramblings on Twitter, yes, there is another Tech Readout underway. And no, it is NOT a reprint, Revised, or Upgrade TRO.

The next Jihad series book is also (finally) in assignment phase.

And the next Historical has been outlined.

And we are considering once-a-year "special edition" Turning Points. They may be slightly pricier than the norm, but totally worth it!

Also, I'd like to remind folks not to send me any product ideas without a solicitation first. Seriously, I've reached the point where I fire playtesters for this....

And that's the wrap up for the... er.... week.

Сколько-сколько?!!!! 54 новых плюсовых меча?!!!! Мама...

в прочих примечаниях, походу два готовых ХТРО были сделаны менее чем за три дня.

До этого будем выуживать все интересные события из ридаутов, по кусочкам... а потом ВНЕЗАПНО выяснится, что "нэ так усё было, савсэм нэ так!"

Every last piece of art is in for Klondike; final proofing comments due in a week...it's fantastic to see this finally nearing the end. rnb

Era Report: 3052,

вот зе фак?

*sigh* Okay. Revised the proposed XTR Schedule and the TP series schedule. Still waiting to see how the BT Adventures series works out...

Ok. Just finished revising the XTR schedule even more than before. Added another one to the list, so we reach into 2013 now! ...

...And though I sleep now, tomorrow, we begin assigning writers for Jihad: Terra, and I start plotting the NEXT two Tech Readouts... -HB

3:30 AM. Latest I've been up in a while. Last-minute straggler on the Jihad: Terra solicitations finally came in after getting lost...

State of the Game Address and Jihad: Terra assignments posted. Tomorrow, review stuff... Answer questions... Be the boss... -HB
