    Do you have any grey poupon?

    Used to have the commercials for it on TV here in the States all the time in the late '80s / early '90s. It is indeed Dijon mustard, and not too bad as I recall. The commercial would have some rich jackass's car pull up to another rich jackass's car at a stoplight, they'd roll each other's...

(Structure of this one's a bit tricky. Also was missing a few words - went with these: daithrak = "great hall" as opposed...

    I'd like a pattern for those. Not going to lie.

    ...bedroom mother? (ulan = bedroom / quarters / dormitory + nah = mother). I mean, it works, but I don't know who in what caste would want to give that kind of name to one of their daughters... Kesthaga du d'aiyk'toth Tuhaga, ni'nah'h'askharg du gar'hargkir, dya ni'ni'lavinmaksnai, maks vork...

    "Gathdyapagara ja'lesh ri'am, gar Terran'hra." Then guess who he is...going to say it's Skitz (Khitz nar Ki'ra), a character that also appeared in the CCG. There aren't too many Ki'ras that appear in Star*Solider, it turns out.

    Love Your Dad (June 20, 2021)

    That hooker also looks uncannily like the way Steve Tyler did back in the '90s (at least to me). Another reason not to shell out $550. I mean, I'm okay with listening to Aerosmith, but...

    Love Your Dad (June 20, 2021)

    Considering that Privateer takes place circa 2669, that's a pretty damn old milk carton photo. I also have to wonder what century it's from since it uses the standard date format and not the stardate format you see elsewhere in WC... Plus, hookers are expensive in the future (not that I know...

    Senior scribe...hmm... 'scribe' is not a word I have in the lexicon. So...wiktionary: Someone who writes; a draughtsperson; a writer for another; especially, an official or public writer; an amanuensis, secretary, notary or copyist. A person who writes books or documents by hand as a...

    WC Uprez Unity3d Doodle! (Heavy GIF Use, Mobile Users Beware!)

    You know, if you ever need any pilot characters for this particular boat, I've got a whole bunch of half-fleshed out generic pilots from WCRPG you could use. Feel free.

    CCG Trades?

    I'd have to look to see if I have a spare; it's been a bit since I've looked at my collection.

    Which commodities are available in Privateer 1?

    https://wcrpg.fandom.com/wiki/5.5:_Commodities The Privateer I commodities are listed in the tables there. I'm trying to remember which sources I used for that data; the official guide was one of them but I want to say it wasn't the only one.

    What do you HATE (or at least dislike) in each Wing Commander game?

    I'd amend that to be "Should have had a campaign that was something other than thirteen back-to-back Armada missions and/or ended when one player hit seven, because it was over at that point anyway." And capships...it would've been fun to develop a more diversified fleet, methinks. At least...

    Take Your Pick: Classic or FMV Bernie (January 23, 2021)

    Poor Flash...he never gets any love. I think I'd rather have him on wing than Bernie, though; I'd have to check on Bernie's experience at the stick of an F-105...

    StopD will get you the lettering from the original box art; it's what I used for the cover of WCRPG, which you can see in my little circle image off to the left (having a senior moment right now and I can't remember what the damn thing is actually called). The only trouble with StopD is with the...

    Video-chat compatible (physical) Wargame for you people...

    As a kindred board game designer myself, are you still looking for playtesters for Corewards? I have group that I meet with on a semi-regular basis here in festive Norman-town, including the guys who made Churrascaria. The guys who made Trial by Trolley also popped by on more that one occasion...

    While you sleep they'll be waiting?

    I remember when we first got Wing Commander, my dad had to set things up so that our 80286 could use expanded memory; doing this basically required a custom boot-up procedure. As part of the batch file he built to do said boot-up and then reboot the computer for general use once we were done...

    Check This, Mate (November 25, 2020)

    The move Nxb3+ is just check - not checkmate, but mate is in three moves. While white cannot move the king out of check or capture the Queen - which is the only piece directly attacking the king, White can interpose with Bd5, Nd3 or Nd7+. In each of these, though, the Queen responds by capturing...
