  For those who may have missed it, House Arano: the Aurigan Coalition is now available on DriveThruRPG in both pdf and print-on-demand format.  I have one on my EHDD and the other on its way as I type.
  The history of the Reach itself is less expansive and detailed than I might have hoped; much of the page-count is given over to an examination of the personnel and operations of Kamea Arano’s chosen troubleshooters, Rampart Company, as well as several scenarios.  Still, there are RATs and stat-blocks to look over, and quite a few lines that you can read between to formulate games/campaigns....

Does this make it Canon now?

Yeah that was the plan when it comes on CGL store I'm getting it

I just wanted to comment on the House Arano Sourcebook which I received yesterday in the mail. This first Print On Demand product is pretty impressive in some ways at least to me. Yeah it is thirty bucks for this product and if you've paid attention to the video game there really isn't anything new here. However the print which was pretty quickly laid down and delivered (ordered on the 18th and received it on the 22nd) is good quality and very nostalgic. It brings you back to the 3025 era with the other five House books, the heralded Star League Sourcebook, and the neglected Periphery Sourcebook (and that mysterious first edition ComStar book, ). This very cool concept has dredged up all sorts of ideas for me which I will share later and it is always awesome to get a bit of BattleTech inspiration. The Aurigan Coalition here is very much in doubt and may not survive so why wouldn't I layout alternates or other fan ideas for Periphery states based on this concept (or a larf on the first edition ComStar sourcebook). So while I wasn't blown away by the content this product does inspire and hopefully draw some new attention for BattleTech. Has anyone else gotten this new release?

I am currently being cleaned out by the Kickstarter.

I hear you there Nova, I did the Star Colonel level and I am really amazed by the amount of fiscal support the kick starter has received.
