    That’s one of the coolest covers

      Oh yeah, I'm digging it. I watched an interview with one of the writers of the book, and the faded green "Hinterlands" is supposed to represent the fading/tarnished Jade Falcons
      Thanks for watching

      The book (when I get it) will probably live on a shelf, but looking forward to the PDF update.

      They've already reached the cut-off for the 2nd printing... and there's a bunch more errata after that.

    Nice review. Sums everything up in a digestible 15 minute package. I would only add that this book works very nicely with Mercenaries KS box, and if I recall correctly, mech there equal in points with starting points of mercs company for the book.

      @Khealos  Місяць тому +1

      Thanks! That was what I was hoping, that you'd get a birds eye look at the book, show off a few things, but not dive too deep into it. Plus it's so new I didn't want to give too much away!

      @josepablolunasanchez1283 I got very lucky. There was a limited edition one for sale from noble knight for base price. Tho 22$ SnH. 97 overall.
      Debating to resell at a much later date or keep it. I really like the cover box.

      @@kodiak_qp614 See my other reply here. I created a system for contracts that uses C-bills.
      * To convert C-bills to XP for whatever RPG system you use, divide C-bills by 10,000.
      * To convert XP to SP, 1 XP equals 1 SP.

    I appreciate the honest review. My group is planning on making thus our league framework.
    Also, something to think about for later: Blur is non-destructive and can be reconstructed. Just for copyright strike prevention purposes.

      You better use the PDF. The physical copy is a paperweight. So many mistakes. It is even missing a chart.

      I didn't flip through the whole book, showing it off, so I'm not too worried about the first page of each chapter, but thanks for letting me know.

    Is this only for ilkhan or also for other eras.

    • @Khealos
      @Khealos  14 днів тому +1

      The lore and lists are all IlClan, but there are the rules for running a campaign, and the random contracts look to be mostly agnostic, so you could use RATs from other eras and use that in any era you'd like.

    People have been complaining about the QA department not doing their job. Better wait for the next edition.

      @Khealos  28 днів тому +1

      Yes, Indeed!
      I think it was a misprint - it was SUPPOSED to be 20% off - it dropped $20 off my order so - yay!

  • @honstalys
    @honstalys Місяць тому +1

    So the PDF has Bookmarks in it. Better than an index.
    That said... I fear for when my printed copy shows up. It's going to be a paper weight due to the errata.

    • @Khealos
      @Khealos  28 днів тому +1

      I'll have the errata printed up, since it will be a while before it gets updated even in the PDF.

      Yeah, I'm not sure. I guess they sold out, or something. If waiting for a new printing, I'm hoping it'll incorporate the errata, but we'll see.
