Ironically, my wife and I spent that night eating dinner that had been delivered from Aux Armes d’Bruxelles, a Michelin-star restaurant in town that also did catering … for a fee. Afterwards, we had champagne and profiteroles (a scrumptious Belgian bakery dessert with ice cream filling), and then walked around on the street around the church near our neighborhood for about an hour.

Everyone else was having NYE parties, and when the time came they were all shouting “Bonne Anneé!” (the French-language equivalent of “Happy New Year!”). And we shouted that back at them.

I don’t remember, there might have been a little snow that night. Or maybe it was just typical Belgian cold winter weather.

But, we were prepared to leap into action, if we got the call. Of course, the call never came.

We just had a really good private party with just me and my wife.

I cleverly managed to be between IT jobs, leaving one the week before, and starting a new one the week after, new year.

For those who missed it, it's possible the cover art for the Consular book may have leaked . There's a thread in the F&D forum for it (can't do links on my phone) !

Here's the link our Oracle talked about.

Ooops. I think the button-pushing guy at FFG that I keep hearing about has been drinking on the job.

He certainly has some things to answer for, that's for sure!

Maybe Rumormonger is one of the new Consular specs.

I can neither confirm nor deny that..

It is like the time they put out an unannounced book in the case at gencon...

Pretty much, only thins time the wrong picture showed up in their online shop. When someone was buying Endless Vigil , the picture for Disciples of Harmony displayed in the shopping cart .

Ooh! Ooh!

I was looking at the picture again, and now that I'm on my computer, I was able to see the title given to the picture. And it included "swf35." Which, as a product code, fits nicely into the slot between Endless Vigil and Ghosts of Dathomir !

What does this do to my product code analysis? Well, if this information is accurate (I'm not going to track it as accurate yet, but I can theorize as if it is), then it kinda blows it out of the water. As a refresher, the spec deck order is:

1. Guardian;

2. Warrior;

3. Sentinel;

4. Seeker;

5. Consular;

6. Mystic.

And the official product code order (with tentative DoH):

1. Guardian;

2. Sentinel;

3. Consular;

4. Seeker;

5. ???;

6. ???.

I was expecting 3 to be the Warrior, as that would be in keeping with the previous releases, in which the career's location in the specialization deck order is within one of its location in the product code order. If DoH is indeed SWF35, then that is blown to smithereens. It not only makes the remaining order of books entirely open for F&D, but also the remaining books for AoR. So...Spy and Mystic next, please ?

The initialism is “DoH”, right?

Did anyone else notice what else that might be? D’oh!

Definitely looking forward to Disciples of Harmony , and I'm pleasantly surprised the Consular book is making a (comparatively) early appearance. I had money that it would be last.

I spent Y2K night with half a dozen people busted up and nearly dead, as well as, a crazy/drunk Syrian ranting about being kidnapped (I think)....admittedly my Arabic is/was not where it should have been time and circumstances considered....no computer issues though.....

I wish I could go to the same parties as you, man.

What is with this darn boat? We've set another new record (yay?) with the fact that we've gone eight weeks at sea, and it's looking like we're gonna go at least one more.

So...sorry folks. I kinda dropped the ball on this one...pushing the prediction back to February 2. Hopefully I can bring it back up to January 26, but at this rate...

It has to be one of these suckers:

I dunno. There’s a lot of space at the top and bottom of that image.

Are you sure you didn’t miss some?

Well, I was trying to be reasonable but now that you mention it, if our wessel was within that picture it'd be here by now. Time to de-hance the image! Anyone happen to know the name of FFG's ship? I found another site that lets me query that directly.

It's bound to be the blue dot at the top left, the one that got lost and managed to somehow get landlocked in the middle of Mongolia...

What if it's transponder is on the fritz?....

And even worse, what if the transponder was on Fritz, and Fritz fell overboard!

"What are you....sinking?"

All I know is that a bunch of Mongolian horse-nomads are now arguing over the books and whether their GM will let them re-spec their Bounty Hunters with the new Specs...

Why they all want to be Skip Tracers is beyond me. I would have thought Operators would be more to their liking...

The boat sank, didn't you hear? Check page 27 of the No Disintegrations topic
