Article Predictions. Mostly General Discussion. But there's definately some Predictions scattered throughout.

Hard to define that as "commercial purposes" however.

 

Bribes aren't commercial.

I can totally deduct that as an entertainment expense if UndeadGuy and I discuss business, as the pRunes roll in.

Hmm. . .

 

Clause 1: The party of the first part shall hereby be known as the party of the first part.
Clause 2: The party of the second part shall hereby be known as the party of the second part.

The Santy Claus: both parties are hereby affirmed to be in their right minds.

Article 1: The party of the first part hereby agrees to charge a fixed, one-time fee for the provision of entertainment facilities in the title of this thread.

Article 2: The price is to be determined privately among the parties, and cannot in any way, shape or form herein mentioned or otherwise be recognized by the tax departments of any governments to which the various parties belong, it being earned for charitable work.

Article 3: The entertainment facilities shall be dictated by the party of the second part to the party of the first part only insofar as intent, and the party of the first part will have full control over the content that expresses that intent.

 

. . .  how's that? The lack of a pRune in the title is breaking the poor readers' hearts, so 'tis but a charitable and philanthropic deed to grant their wish, and as time is a valuable thing, one must be paid in order to supply it.

No, no, that's a no good. Everyone knows there's no Santa Clause.

To be fair, you said you would when I complained about Coffee.

 

I don't see how the Mentat's creed would qualify as complaining

I got some "Upcoming, maybe Wave 7" Scuttlebutt as well, but I'm holding it until its said from a second source, not just a single one.

 

Update on this:

Talked to 3 people who should be "in the know", and no confirming hints have been dropped by all 3 of them......    So I've got nothing to report yet.

 

On the Speculation Front...  Wave 7 Announce is effectively prepped for any day now.  it depends how far along Model Production is done.  I expect, article or not, to see at least Prototype Models at GenCon in a Display - so its a crapshoot as to wether we get an article tease before that, or Simultanious with it.

 

But its all revolving around GenCon.

So...  Y'know.  We'll know within 4-5 Weeks, one way or another.

Not a huge surprise, really. Still, that does give us several more weeks of wild speculation (and arguing the merits or lack thereof of the Resurgent) whilst Dras remains happy and smug in his knowledge of what is coming 

Really, it's almost as fun as playing the game itself

Urgh, not really...  I mean...  its all very vague at the moment, some I like the idea of where its heading, the others, not so much...  But its all too vague to really work out a comparison/desire on....   Which is why I was hoping for some confirmation...  if I got some confirmation, I could kinda drill for more info and form a better picture...

But its all pretty well Blue Sky here at the moment...  

...  or is it Rat Hole?

I can't ever remember my Corporate-ese enough.

Nothing coded.  Just poorly using emphasis.

I wish I had actual info, but I don't...  I'm not NDA'd, and if I was, I'd shut right up in the first place   But I don't have anything worth leaking as of yet...

**** yeah an actual prediction.

I say Friday because I'm ready and I've read that FFG does whatever we tell them to on the forums.

(I mean that is hard to type with a straight face.)

You know it! Thats why they neutered Rieekan. The Forum posters made them do it. Poor Rhymer just got too close to the scalpel, and got his range clipped.
