Reading the second Gaunt's Ghosts omnibus.

Do you have SM mode on, by any chance? If not, close the event window, turn it on, and try running another turn. I seem to recall that having SM mode enabled would tell you why turns were being interrupted.

Excuse me while I pick my jaw off the floor...

Now, I like the cartoony graphics we're seeing. Remember what the dude in the video said: they're not going for realism, they're going for AWESOME. What I'm hoping for right now is the ability to build enough engines to propel entire moons or planets, and use them as mobile, nearly indestructible carriers. Imagine looking up and seeing an extra moon in the sky, which begins dropping hordes of robot tanks. That would indeed be awesome.

And dreadnaughts don't really count at "mechs". Aside from the fact that they are lumbering and kinda slow (unlike the suits the Mobile Infantry used in Starship Troopers), they are used by Space Marines as a sort of walking, fighting life-support system/sarcophagus for badly injured Marines. The closest thing to traditional mechs in Warhammer 40k are the battlesuits used by the Tau.

And now we're way off-topic

It's 10:50 at night, I have to wake up in about seven hours, and I just discovered that my pre-calculus teacher has given us a 58-question test, totaling >130 subquestions, due by midnight. The semester started YESTERDAY. Fuck.

Did you actually click the "New Class" button before adding parts?

Oh man, now I just feel stupid...
Thanks a bunch, I was afraid I botched something and would have to reinstall!

It's a common mistake, no worries
Good luck!

(I just put my XP at 1,000 for now, if the actual total is different let me know. Also let me know if I screwed up anything.)

*ding!*

Feat Retrain: Two-Weapon Fighting into Weapon Finesse

The battles in the goblin cave, alongside allies old and new, made Lon realize that emulating his once-master's technique would not serve him well at this point. The exotic whip had done more harm than good, while the simple and trusty rapier did a marvelous job (aside from him dropping it at one point). He began training with it consistently, learning how to use his quick reflexes to their full advantage in a fight.

As a result of his constant interactions with his companions, his skill with the Common language grew. Making friends (or at least temporary allies) became even easier, and he learned to channel his musical powers into inflicting drowsiness and healing minor wounds. Flush with victory, he was already planning his next epic even as he looked forward to what the future would bring.
