I know this is stupid but it was nagging me:


Are the Artillery rules being redone in 2010?

Yes.

They're already done, but you can't see them yet. Why, what were you hoping for?

Will there be a printable version of the 2010 rules available on their release?

can we have lots of cool pictures with the 2010 release, and will it be easier to understand (i've always had trouble with understanding the rules.)

I have flaky, dry skin. Is this from acne medicine, chlorine, or hot showers?

ease and clarity about firing on an area, rather than a spcific target, and where missid shots land.

Not on release, I have to teach myself how to make PDFs first. But it's in the longer-term plans.

Yes. Pictures and examples are always the most time-consuming part of making the rulebook, but now that I've started using other people's photos I'm making a lot more progress. I wish there were more examples though, I may come back and fill more in as time goes on.

Most likely from using the wrong soap (or overusing soap in general) and poor hydration. Switch to a moisturizing body wash and loofah, and make sure to drink enough water.

The cult can pick up germs from the litter box which will result in cult scratch fever. If your sister gets this, you owe the cult a whole bag of catnip. Do not try to high five the cult.

Wow, in that case I'm not sure what you're talking about at all. An area isn't a specific target? Missed shots aren't covered by the Missed Shots rule?

Thanks. Is Gatorade better than water? I only really drink water when I'm at practice. should I change this?

I was just wonderin what kind of use rating it is t ocover an area, and wher in that area does the shot actually land?

Gatorade is only good if you are burning the sugar calories as fast as you're drinking them - outside of a high-intensity aerobic exercise session, Gatorade is one of the unhealthiest things you can drink.

There are new rules for firing multiple projectiles at once, and you get area effect from explosives the same way you always did, but otherwise I don't know what kind of artillery "covers an area," so I'm still not sure what you're asking here. Can you give me a real-world example?

As for where things land: you pick a spot you're aiming at, and then where the attack lands is determined by however much you miss the Attack Roll by, same as for any other ranged attack.

This one was figured out by the neanderthals and a scrabble board. "What is seven times six?"

If I came to America would we meet up, hang out and more importantly drink lots of beer?

I'm still looking over these rules, as yet I can see nothing wrong with them, I like the links and pics very much. The devil is in the detail though, so maybe after some playtesting I'll know better. I'm playing some simple games with Mini-Warhead some of this. His education in the ways of the Brikwarrior has advanced, were currently 2 for 2 games.
