I don't think you'd have of a problem asking to submit a better pic of the same entry, maybe ask on the pod forum if that's possible?

I mean, first I have to actually successfully take a better picture. I'd look a hell of a putz if I asked and then came back all "um, so, just use the first ones I submitted."

I've asked the chat at my local place if anyone knows cameras and would be willing to help me.

Soooooooooo I've been off Terra Nova for a few cycles now, but I just stumbled across the Gear Up blog and there is TONS of fiction, content, all sorts of stuff. Even characters from the 1st Black Talon being used! Is the new RPG - I don't want to ask if it's "good" - is the story faithful? Not to whatever the original original was going to be, but at least the spirit and style?

Short answer is yes. The people working on it are fans of the original RPG, more interested in continuing it than remaking it.

Forgot to follow up, I took two honorable mentions from the Golden Gear competition, and not for the models I thought would place. Scored enough store credit for a pack of Iguanas.

Can't really say much about the writing or if they've made changes to the setting stuff (although I've been told the NuCoal origin has been mostly changed).

For the most part, the game seems to focus on stuff I'm not interested in, like unending lists of vehicles, and the layout itself proved to be too much of a burden for a game I found out was not that interested in at the moment.

I'm more interested in the forthcoming adventures and settings books than in the literal rules and vehicle guide that is the big 4e core book, in particular one set during the St. Vincent War.

NuCoal had a massive rewrite in 2011 during the Locked & Loaded rules era in a book called 'Perfect Storm'. The whole L&L era contradicted a bunch of earlier material and was taking the game in some odd directions. The current line editor and writers are more interested in ignoring that edition and making sure future books are usable with the original 90s books for the RPG.
