Re: Improve Battletech
I'm not sure what you're getting at consequences. Would you mind elaborating regarding the strategic paradigm? If you make weapons and subcomponents in general more accessible it completely changes the whole landscape. You would need more handwaving of how tiny forces can manage to take worlds. Not...

Re: Improve Battletech
Jeez guys, cut the factory talk. None of that stuff really impacts the game directly and is just lame fluff crap you can change very easily. Relevant to strategic games where supply lines and logistics are likely critical, check. Relevant to rpgs where the sourcing of replacement equipment most def...

Re: Geth in Battletech
The Geth likely won't actively start anything. The Draconis Combine, Bandit Nations, and the Clans, being the largest collections of belligerent assholes in the asshole saturated Battletech universe and variously surrounding or invading the specified Geth location, most definitely will, followed som...

It's to the point where you may have bought nearly the same book three times already. If they want to test the waters they can always put the quick start...

Re: Geth in Battletech
They have retconned it. Catalyst Game Labs publishes things, you know. That's where the whole "yeah, game ranges are an abstraction for purposes of fluff" thing comes from. Then they can stop publishing fluff that reiterates said pre-retcon reality. As in roughly every novel ever publishe...

Re: Geth in Battletech
Sarna.net is the wiki. Note that TT game ranges have been disavowed by the current owners - Catalyst Game Labs - as representing "fluff" capabilities. I'm sure someone with more interest can find a direct quote. This is a common point of contention that is no longer valid in BT vs. scenar...

Re: Improve Battletech
The simple and easy fix for range issues would be to go vague. Instead of each hex being a clearly defined distance, and each turn being a specific number of seconds, each turn is a turn, and weapons range is expressed in hexes with no translation. Handwave that due to targets trying not to get hit ...

Re: Should I continue a Matrix story or start an Inception o
That would be partially because I'm a silly person who didn't vote in the poll.
*rectifies*
After I finally see Inception I'd probably be interested in seeing what you'd do with it though.

Nal's at the level where that kind of arrogance is fully justified. There's an interesting question(and follow-ups) that's only just occurred to me. What happens if he dies on Planet Geas(whatever the proper name for the place is)? Would he revert to his primary clone immediately? Would that clone b...

Awesome, the hydra burgers guy is back! Also, the only thing a party of adventurers can't survive is massed fire. Sooner or later some shots are going to hit.

Re: The OotS thread
Although its touching he wants to find O-Chul; I can;t help feeling this will end badly for Team Good and well for Team Evil since it will presumably reveal O-Chul and water paladin (I forget her name) at the other gate. This is presuming that the keeper of the other gate gave the correct location....
