I'm shocked!

Shocked, I say!

Someone here said the US isn't the entire world? Stop these lies immediately!

Read through history for any length of time and you'll be very happy you were born in a democratic nation during the 20th century....it hasn't always been a bed of roses but unlike the life under dozens of lunatic dictators of the last 200 years or so it's pretty damn good.

"Ayn Randing" a thread should be far worse a charge than "Naziing" a thread.

You know, I bought a signed, limited Bottle City in 2007 (??) right before I took a long hiatus from collecting.

So there was some drama surrounding it, too, eh?

So I stand corrected: I own two collectibles with stories behind them.

Why they renewed an offensive against the Germans (though it was speculated that there were promises from the Allies of backing for the Republican government if they did so) seems almost suicidally naive considering the feeling of the population and the extreme privation already caused by the war (and the general subsistence living standard that the old imperial government had kept in place).

I thought it was pretty well established that the Western Allies did promise to back the Provisional Government's war effort, and it was this back-room politicking that further fueled the fire for the Bolsheviks -- and discredited the Americans and British -- during the Red-White civil war that followed.

Or maybe I'm just being an annoying nitwit.

That's not what Kerensky told my history class in high school.

I'm sure he would have liked you. Naw, I will have to check with my brother, I missed out on those lectures. Keresnky move to NY and was friends with my history teacher. He used to come over to the high school and talk about the Russian Revolution.

Great !
I am not able to give you some juridic comments, but as a GM, I really like your module, and I hope others will follow

Fantastic cover, great artwork and great story. I like 'Rumor chart', that is totally OS !

One thing seems strange to me... why does the skeleton hang a lantern -page 8... Who is needing light, as we can the full moon behind them ?
Just kidding :wink:

...and who is Mr. T. Aichcee, that is a good question !

Great job, congratulations !!!

Reckon I'll get me a PDF for now until the second print run

I remember one of those Bottle City limited editions being raffled off at the first NTRPG (and at the time it was rather pricey...).

So now I ordered one on the cheap.

12 left I think...

I think that they were selling back then for somewhere between $35 - $50 dollars.

Thanks for the great module! I'm going to try to sneak away from the kids for a little bit to read it.

Looks like I got one of the last copies an hour or two before you sold out.
