BATTLETECH and Paradox’s 4Q Interim Report to Shareholders

[Prussian Havoc]

Okay, I cut my teeth on Staff work in an Armor Battalion stationer in Germany during the mid-90’s.

Know what that means?

Let’s hear it for Harvard Graphics and the making of Briefing Slides. : )

But slides have come a long way since the 90’s. Here are some of the best I’ve seen lately!

Man, that Battletech logo is tiny. Guess it’s a note it’s not a flagship game anymore.

Yeah, I noticed that... moving forward it’ll be another game and another logo that’ll respresent HBS.

Here’s to HBS continuing to develop Focused, Quality, Successful Games... and who knows, like Golem Arcana, maybe even a miniatures game or two!

HBS making a World of Darkness game. I'm neither excited nor disappointed. I think they will make a great game, but it's not a setting that gets me hyped. I'm sure I'll end up buying it though...

Still super curious what the other project is... hopefully a game I can get hyped about!

I wonder whether the original Bloodlines might have actually been more popular than the tabletop game. What I've seen from WoD in book form strikes me as being a bit... forebidding, I guess?.. to someone without goth-punk sensibilities, but Obsidian's game appeared to strike a chord well beyond the established fans despite its programming troubles.

Handing the sequel to HBS could easily see a repeat of that performance. If they bring the same quality writing they did with the later Shadowrun games - and that's all I'd need to know to pre-order - I'm sure it could find an audience well beyond those invested in the WoD name.

So yeah, not really a Vampire fan, but count me on board if this really is one of HBS's new projects.

 

[Nichino]

Very true. If I get some strong ShadowRun feels, then I could easily get drawn into an HBS WoD.
