The upcoming Snap Ships Tactics Kickstarter (see, Josh, I did promise!)

And remember - it's not too late to book for UKGE!

In which Mike and Nat Hardacre talk.

A lot.

Nat may have broken the record for the longest and most indecisive quickfire round ever. More importantly, here’s your chance to find out everything that is planned for UK Games expo in the BattleTech (and Shadowrun and Leviathans) world.

The new Tales... Discord. Currently largely being used to discuss the Crown Tourney ruleset.

In which Mike gets to interview Jon Reid, honorary member of Peterborough Wargames Club, and we think the Middle East's only Catalyst Demo Agent! The chat covers a range of stuff including how to draw new players in, as well as a look at the new Core rules for BattleTech.

Fortress Miniatures and Games loyalty program is on their website - you can't miss it, it's a big red button bottom right once you've signed in!

BattleTech in the UAE: Jon can be reached at [email protected], and there's an Instagram page as well.

Catalyst's BattleTech Refit page, with links to the new boxes and the core rules update.

In which Mike aten't ded (to quote Nanny Ogg). Also, he gets to have a long (and rather delayed) chat with Aces designer Josh Derksen.

A 480p rip of Fang Of The Sun Dougram (you'll need to listen to understand why) - there are probably better quality rips out there.

Twine - "an open-source tool for telling interactive, nonlinear stories."

My interview with Ed Jones and the sadly missed Kendall Leask.

And finally, there's a small prize for the first person to comment and tell me what I messed up when I put all the audio for Episode 15 together...

In which Mike finally gets to chat to Ed from Buy The Same Token about their fabulous AS tokens.

Useful links, as ever:

the tokens themselves can be found here along with some better photos than mine!

the BTST discord (this link shouldn't expire)

the Krita open source drawing software Ed mentioned that BTST use - runs on Mac, Windows and Linux.

I will grab some decent 'posed' token shots when I get back from Germany next week.
