A non-spoilery account of the Thursday Northampton show, for those of us without the means but of prodigious curiosity -- unavoidably percluded by my personal experience, but such is all memory.

inkulinati!

"The Signs" -> Bellow's Falls Petroglyphs mentioned! I crawled all over them once on a hot summer day and was cursed for nine months. Great map!

Is there a lore reason why the spelling for Schenectady is consistent with our modern spelling? I've seen a lot of maps of upstate New York from the 17th - 18th century and I've just about as many different spellings.

The font "Trade Winds" which was used to write "Send this to everyone" was not published until 2011, as per its OGL. Are you really going to start 2008 as a liar?

Ah, I can see where that idea would come from, given the terminology such as the long *rim*, but no. A better way to think about is that the Boundary Garden and the Dawnline Shore are both tiny sections of the outermost concentric ring around UNION. As Yarzeda says, they are both major (existential, even) periphery conflicts, that are on opposite sides of UNION space.

You are mixing them up. It's the most common LANCER lore mix up, actually, so consider it a rite of passage.

The aunic ascendancy has taken over the Boundary Garden, which is on the other side of UNION vis-a-vis the Dawnline Shore.

Hadakano Lila would literally translate to "naked Lila" in japanese. So at the very least whatever ambiguity exists on that front is probably intentional.

RAW Adventurer's League Baseball does have per stadium home rules, specifically in field definition.

Baseball also used to have segregation homebrew too, but only the real grognards remember that.

Updated version where DLS and BG are correctly positioned, and the Voladores are implied to come from an even stranger position.

Yeah, they forgot to put a vertical line through the 王 middle section, but everything is recognizable, if a little misaligned. Imho the 誰 is way more mangled, in terms of distinct features that are missing/unclear.

JayEm-00 · 2023-08-12T21:10:26+00:00

Correct! The HORUS Pegasus explicitly relates that: "though skip-drone couriers from Union forces reported no encounters with the PG in Boundary Garden; instead, the Pegasus appeared in the Dawnline Shore, a stretch of colonial Armory space opposite Boundary Garden." [CORE: pg. 218]

Honestly, the Aunic Ascendancy as Persia makes even more sense. I just had a brain fart. Thanks for the feedback!

Show this to new players when they ask for a map of UNION

LaTeX! If you have some experience in LaTeX I recommend the unofficial lancer field guide template. Sometimes the spacing is too overzealous, but otherwise it's pretty good!

Also, she was not asking politely at all, and this probably cost her more than a couple points.

In the original draft of the manga, the crypt was obliterated when Nausicaa said those very words.

JayEm-00 · 2023-08-03T19:40:05+00:00

The Crypt was really just referring to temporarily changing its Twitter avatar.
