The long-awaited Sixth World Almanac is available now in PDF form! Get it at the Battleshop or Drivethrurpg.com! Note that the electronic version contains a PDF file of the map poster along with the book.
Prefer a print version to PDF? Fear not! The print process is underway. We’ll announce a street date as soon as we have a firm one! Note that we are not offering book pre-orders, including PDF/book combos, at the moment–that will be made available as we get closer to the print release. Jason H. |

Replace ketchup with salsa and I'd totally believe it. Time to go get a new booooook.... |

QUOTE * Who calls it the Gulf of Mexico? who calls it the Gulf of Aztlan? Presumption: 1) everyone but 2) Aztlan and Henan, the only state that likes Aztlan because it is similarily psycho. I cannot see the CAS calling it anything but Gulf of Mexico in a million billion years. Only thing I could see is them caling it Patriot Gulf or Gulf of Texas. Hrm! Gulf of Texas ... actually sounds rather nice. QUOTE Aztlan: "That's not blood patter! That's just salsa...we love our salsahere, that's right, salsa....yummm....and you'll believe us if you know what's good for you....salsa! Yea!" Fix'd for ya.

Piffle. We also know what the assumption is:
Of course it's chunky salsa. |

Do you know if there will be a price break for the combo, or is it just the same cost as buying it separately? |

Page 13, sidebar, 10 minute war.
Looks like an editing mistake was made in this entry "with enough three nuclear bombs" |

Sloppy Editing like that is one of the reasons why PDF's should be released some weeks to months before stuff goes to the printers.
So people can do community errata, which can be used to make the file going to the printers BETTER than it was before . . |

Is anyone willing to give a full list of the countries covered? Basically, I need to decide whether to buy it now, or agonize for a few weeks and then buy it later for the same price.

QUOTE (hermit @ Jun 25 2010, 09:10 PM) Is there any other kind in Aztlan?! There's an ultra-smooth variety with a smokey flavor, typically used as ritual refreshment. I believe they call it 'Macuahuitl Black'. You really only see it around the teocalli. |

-- I was going to wait for the book release but the cost break was just too damn tempting. Well ... as soon as DTRPG stops crashing on my payment confirmation (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smile.gif)

It is totally, totally awesome that the world map has both 6th Word and real world political boundaries on it in North America. How often did I look at maps in the past wondering, "Is Kentucky in the CAS or the UCAS?"

I'm not sure if this is written correctly:
2068 (January 31): "... the corp opens the five long-delayed underground agricultural hydroponic farms. Covering over 20,000 kilometers each, with multiple underground levels" * I'm pretty sure they mean square kilometers but that's still 140 km x 140 km underground facilities with multiple levels. That sounds like a trope in the making (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smile.gif) |
