I won't lie. I enjoy my Battletech more without the community memes in general. It's likely just due to overexposure because I work on this stuff all the time, but it just doesn't vibe with me very much.

Just writing up "Why" the Lone Wolves, as apart of the script before delving into their history. This is the first real unit video I've done, so if the structure on the video is wonky narratively, well, it's all experimental. lol #Battletech

Why yes, this is the game I have a lifetime subscription to 😌💖

I just released my "Brief Guide to Writing Short Fiction." It's a solid guide to writing short stories and more; and has a special focus on Sword and Sorcery stories. It costs $10, which, as a set of instructions to write stories you can sell, is rather inexpensive. Like and share. That helps!

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!). www.sarna.net/news/outfoxe...

So Supanova Briabane had a reasonably large Gundam this year. Which was nice.

Welp. Guess I'm wrong again about the next DLC. But Wolves on Tukayyid? Yeah, I'll take it. mw5clans.com/dlc/wolves-o...

HOLY CRAP: New Mechwarrior 5: Clans DLC announced: Wolves of Tukayyid where we play for Natasha Kerensky's Wolf Dragoons against the Com Guards in over 20 missions with 6 new mechs including the NAGA!! mw5clans.com/dlc/wolves-o...

I might lose some friends if I make a video on it. This DLC does absolutely nothing for me. Less mechs, and less interesting mechs than Flashstorm. A Lame story centred around a tired, overexposed Clan, that I'm sure they'll heavily reinvent just to not make it stale. This is lame. #Mechwarrior

NEW INTERVIEW ALERT! In my quest to ascend Catalyst's corporate ladder, I found myself speaking with Executive Editor John Helfers. He was the perfect person to ask about upcoming fiction and where the BattleTech universe is headed, narratively speaking. #BattleTech www.sarna.net/news/battlet...

Sad news in the #Battletech community. I have been informed that Melissa Noe, the "Office Wench" of Iron Wind Metals and wife to IWM Founder Mike Noe has lost her battle with cancer. May her memory be a blessing

Late Night update : I finished #Battletech #Outfoxed by @swankmotron.com . This book is for us . It’s fun it’s smart and self contained but it’s about pain and loss , grieving and overcoming and hope against the terrible people and things that surround us and the power of found family and therapy.

Tough day for Cryptic STO team. We're losing two of our most senior artists, including Hector Ortiz, who codified the look of STO's unique 25th-century Starfleet aesthetic. The other is Senior FX Artist Chris Menard, who has been on the project with me for the last 15 years. We'll miss them dearly.

In 3 1/2 hours, my new BattleTech book comes out digitally. Tomorrow you can order physical copies (you can preorder signed copies at my site now) It works as a standalone, too, in case you're not caught up on Fox Patrol. Digital books2read.com/u/3J1nJv Or signed: www.swankmotron.com/shop/outfoxed

BattleTech readers: Based on a discussion in another thread here, I'd love for you to answer the following: 1) What book would you recommend as a new readers' 1st Btech novel to intro them to the current world. 2) What are the five follow-up novels to bring them wholly up to speed on Btech?

pushed the reds further out and added some more reflection highlights on the surrounding surfaces; think it's getting there

The QeHpu' Advanced Light Battlecruiser has always been one of my personal favorite original STO designs. It feels dead-on for a "big brother" to the B'Rel. It was designed by Hector Ortiz and modeled by Ian Richards.

The M'Chla Bird of Prey Refit, which I personally call the M'Chla II, was designed by EC Henry, based on an idea from @vengeancegod.bsky.social to take the Bird of Prey from Star Trek: Discovery and modernize it to the TNG/STO era. Donny Versiga did some polish and intake work on the ship as well.

At 2:03 of the NYCC Starfleet Academy trailer, you see a battle with some ships - at least a couple of them are Klingon ships that were originally designed for Star Trek Online. The big ship is the QeHpu' Advanced Light Battlecruiser and the little circled one is the M'Chla Bird-of-Prey Refit.

If I had a nickel for every time the canonicity of a Star Trek Online ship has been announced by an New York Comic Con trailer for a Star Trek TV show, I'd have two nickels. Which isn't a lot, but it's fucking awesome that it's happened twice. 🧵

Folks from @innervationbros.bsky.social sent me the demo of Cryptic Tales Crossroads early! I tried streaming it, but had trouble, so did a video instead! Don't let you dreams be DREAMS! youtu.be/hOzBjFC9DVg #cryptictalescrossroads #horrorgame #vtuber #vsky

The cover to BattleTech: Outfoxed, the first full novel for Katie Ferraro and the Fox Patrol, goes way harder than should be possible. The book comes out in 13 days. Pre-orders should start soon.

Woooo!
