Miniature Rules 81
Is up at http://battletech.cavaliercavalry.com/mrules.htm
I’m just going to talk about Miniature Rules here for a second. I know it’s slowed down, and it’s harder and harder to come up with fresh material. I say this about once a quarter, I know, and there’s this flurry of stuff that comes out, basically after I find the time to read sourcebooks and novels. I think that’s the block. THAT BEING THE CASE, if you have a particular moment or scene in Battletech that you’d like me to make fun of, PM me on the CBT forums. I don’t want jokes or punchlines, I’d like “Oh, could you maybe do something about Maeve and Brian…”, although that idea would be much easier for Spammy to do in Block It with a Luke and Leia figure. Really. Easy. Like “Let’s run off from Star Wars and go to the Arkansas of Sci-Fi, Outreach.” easy. See, I wrote it, Spammy, now you gotta shoot it. Get to work. Lazy git.
That said, I have probably another… 5 ideas. One’s really funny, but really similar to a past comic. I don’t have a big problem repeating as long as they get funnier and cleverer and look at the idea from a different perspective. So, I’ll push it to 87, which should take us through May, and see where I lie there. I’ll probably do more historical jokes, as I’m in 2 history classes. Sorry, it happens.
Crossing Bifrost will take another short hiatus after Con Dolore wraps up in the next two weeks as I plot out the next story. It’ll start being more of a raiding-party comic with corresponding setups and what not. It’s the missing piece of the Battletech puzzle I started a long time ago when I wrote “Red Array”. I may even re-start Red Array now that I have all those trees, and if I do, I’ll apologize now for the art-shift, but I can’t photoshop a comic like that, really. When it was on, it looked great. When it was off, it looked horrid. So, there.
This will also be the first Xanga-Crosspost-to-Facebook blog, so we’ll see how this goes.
