I haven’t decided what this guy’s story is yet. I bought a factory cast-off lot on Ebay about a year ago and it contained this Shogun, who was missing an arm. I bolted some random bits on, and painted him with a purple I haven’t used before. I don’t think he’s a Marik. Who could he be?

This is easily mocked, but it's probably fine. It doesn't make a difference to the folks who were already checked out due to Wolf fatigue. For everyone else, she's a prominently-placed but not very developed character with a bit of name recognition.

Against my better judgement given my physical condition and pains the last week I was called to coat my fox patrol dropship . I should have listened but totally worth it .. going for this color. Will use a sepia wash. #Battletech #FoxPatrol #Mechwarrior

A quick thread about why the image below and its implications terrify me.

My father, for many reasons, was a saint of a man. As he grew older, into his mid 80s, he developed issues separating dreams from reality, especially when waking up from naps.
This guy has the codes to nuclear weapons.

Yeah, this guy 👇

The folks at Sarna were kind enough to review my latest BattleTech novel!
I read Outfoxed, the latest from @swankmotron.com and Fox Patrol's first standalone novel. It's good, wholesome BattleTech for these trying times. My review on Sarna (slight spoilers if you haven't read it yet!).

Still true, ten years later. Funny story, I was sitting in that exact same spot in the exact same coffee shop this morning, getting my writing done.

There is a real kinda traumatic stress thing that happens when youre waking up every day waiting to see if your government has finally decided that you will die painfully with no medical assistance in 2026 that has previously helped you stay alive over the last several years.
