I just wanted to dedicate some praise to Moscovian for the sheer beauty that is the glossy, published version of raiders. This is one hell of a beast- weighty, well made and a bargain for the quality of the product. Thanks for all your hard work getting these put together, it is muchly appreciated! Oh, and the contents are pretty good too

I want to repeat my praise here, as well, for Raiders. It has renewed my enthusiasm for things Necrony. Edit - and Moscovian, too, of course. Are they not one and the same? The one in paperback format, the other a slab of thinky meat? |

Can I also add a word for the appearence of the 'War Kittens' on the envelope in which my copy of Raiders was sent. That nearly made me spit my tea across my monitor! |

Hah, weak I tell you. Your "war kittens" and "dog of doom" pale in comparison to the "WARP BEAST" i recieved!! |

Yes, I must admit to adorning the packages with some fearsome creatures. One of the many risks a father of two little girls runs into is the pressure to decorate anything and everything with cute and cuddly stickers. My return address stickers are a combination of plain words/background (mine) and an assortment of my wife's cuddly kittens, puppies, and ankle biting dogs that barely rate as actual dogs. My two year old decided she wanted to put together the envelopes with me so here I am shipping out my WAR manuals with TANKS and BLADES and MECHANICAL UNDEAD WARRIORS and she insists on using all of Renee's labels. All that came to mind was the Capital One commercial where the Star Wars-esque bad guy wants to make his personalized card with kittens on it. His companion cries out, "WAR KITTENS?!" And he replies, "No, just cute little kittens!" It's a very funny commercial if you haven't seen it and it was the only way to claim that I do still have a pair. They might be in my wife's purse but that's another matter. Thanks for the praise. Just remember no man is an island and there are many names on that credit list. I am looking forward to seeing Kevin/Chroma get the next supplement moving. I'm also hoping E&C will have Mossino ready for us in the next few months. It would be great to be able to release several books back-to-back (three in 2 years?). Also remember that when you buy a copy of Raiders you are helping the next supplements out since the membership cost for the printing company will be paid for completely when Raiders sells 100 copies (seventy four down, twenty six to go!). I'm currently enjoying the story I was hoping somebody was going to read it.  We really put a lot of work into that fiction - more than any other part except for maybe the layout/editing. It was my personal crusade to have a compelling story that brought all three armies together in a believable way. It was challenging not being able to write dialogue into a story that long (this was one of the attributes of the Armageddon and Swordwind stories that I felt compelled to match). I hope it is enjoyed by all... Not likely, but I can wish, can't I?

Mossino should come soon, and then I'll be following on with something focused on the AMTL (Either a Nids-vs-Titans campaign book, or an as-yet unseen on the net personal project, a Titan Legions game that's also compatible with Epic:A). |

Nids vs. Titans? I had always hoped that the Titans are published together with other war engine armies (OGBM, Lugganath?) so that they have proper opponents (some people, not me, think they're not compatible with the "ordinary" armies). |

Putting the AMTL list in the same suppliment as OGBM, Lugganath, 'Nid Titan list, etc, will only serve to marginalise the lists... our aim with the 'big WE' lists is to make them balanced for play with the rest of Epic, not marginalised. OGBM will see their day, I'm sure. |

I hope a Gryphonne IV supplement will see the light of day
