This is a site for discussing roleplaying games. Have fun doing so, but there is one major rule: do not discuss political issues that aren't directly and uniquely related to the subject of the thread and about gaming. While this site is dedicated to free speech, the following will not be tolerated: devolving a thread into unrelated political discussion, sockpuppeting (using multiple and/or bogus accounts), disrupting topics without contributing to them, and posting images that could get someone fired in the workplace (an external link is OK, but clearly mark it as Not Safe For Work, or NSFW). If you receive a warning, please take it seriously and either move on to another topic or steer the discussion back to its original RPG-related theme.

I'm concurrently working on Glorianna for StarCluster and Commonwealth Space for Cold Space. My next IHW projects are Pigboats and Scum of the Earth.

"Extreme technology, morphing weapons, a Code Duello, elegant human courtiers, downshifted android peasants, uplifted animal shopkeepers, and a wildly inventive culture ruled over by the cloned Virgin Queen. Welcome to Glorianna!"
:cool: All checks for me! Though I'd likely try to use this for a blend of Blame!, Book of the New Sun, Instrumentality of Mankind and The Night Land. :haw: :eek: Cloned Virgin Queen -> Instrumentality Lord or high layer Safeguard gone amuck...

Pigboats - sub expansion? covering WWI-WWII?*

Scum of the Earth - Napoleonic land warfare?

* were there any sub conflicts between the wars, or if not theoretical conflicts that never came to pass? those could be fun too

Pigboats will cover WWII only, for the same nations as covered in Aces And Angels, all of which had considerable sub fleets.

And you definitely know your Wellington if you recognize "Scum of the Earth!" I'll be writing that one with Kyle Aaron. :D

Just to add, I'll be working with Michael Scott on a new concept - In Harm's Way: Wild Blue, dealing with a modern mercenary air wing in a fictional country wedged between Kuwait and Iran, with a wierd mix of planes, helis, choppers, and people. :D

Righto, makes sense and WWII subs are also fun.

I had watched Waterloo :pundit:  not long before and was looking up a certain other battle as well. :o Wellington and Waterloo aren't my Napoleonic favorites but that film is very fun and used to be on weekends sometimes back before cable really took over.

So you mean that you will eventually be providing me with the means to play out the Sharpe series should I find players for such?!?! :D

Take care Nothingland. You were always one of the most ridiculously good-looking sites on the internets, and the web too. I\'ll miss you.  -"Derek Zoolander MD" at a site long gone.

Totally off topic but:

Every damn time I see the thread title, I immedeatly think 'what does Clash want with a can opener?'

/insert imaginary pic of an army p-38 dogtag can opening device.
For you the day you found a minor error in a Post by Spike and forced him to admit it, it was the greatest day of your internet life.  For me it was... Tuesday.

For the curious: Apparently, in person, I sound exactly like the Youtube Character The Nostalgia Critic.   I have no words.

Mad Props to Gunslinger for comin' through with the pic!

:D

Fun factoid: the army does not want paratroopers to wear said P-38 on their dogtags as they are afeared said paratroopers might stab themselves on it during a jump.  Nuisance injuries for the Win!

I imagine they don't want the other sort of p-38 on the dogtags either, but I bet it hasn't been an issue.... yet.

One of the best songs for flavor ever added to a show imho. (although the "Though I may travel far from Spain..." verse still hits me harder due to the episode/movie it's in.)

Damn...  this is going to be where I will regret not knowing if those in my gaming group have any interest in military non-fantasy gaming...  Still...  

I'm almost wondering if we need to either have the title of the thread changed or have a new one entitled "The Kickass Cool Stuff Class is working on":D  Maybe that title idea, but with more C/K words.
