apologies if this has been posted already, but there's a fundraising raffle for The Trevor Project with a bunch of battletech stuff as raffle prizes here 100% of the money goes to TTP (minus the usual processing fees, unless you opt in to paying those as well, which imo you should), every $5 is a raffle entry, instructions on that page for where to send donation confirmation for raffle entry PoptartsNinja posted:I'd describe vehicles as being like rock, paper, scissors; except wheeled vehicles just get screwed if they touch any surface that isn't concrete. rock, tissue paper, scissors

BattleMaster posted:You can pick a faction that has a cool name or cool logo [...] and then just go from there.  my plan: look at this cool logo, ignore all associated lore, make a lance where all units must have an axe and/or be mostly legs by proportion hachetman, catapult, and then two others idk

Floppychop posted:Axman and Nightsky ooh, nightsky looks kinda like the way they did the hatchetman in HBStech, where the hatchet is flush with the arm but when you melee it extends and tilts up to be like a proper axe.

new theme, based on one of the best typos i've seen: clan hello horse goal: to suddenly and without warning charge up close and say hello!!! - speed and short-range firepower are key Grendel G (or C to save BV) Griffin IIC 2 or 3 Phantom B or C Locust IIC 2 and then a Thunder Stallion to round it our because this star needs more horse

the outworlds alliance is kinda chill, sometimes at the very least, i like their they only have three medals for their military: most improved (ground forces), most improved (air forces), and "defied odds to keep civilians safe"

Saint Celestine posted:What kind of composition should one go for at low BV values with no restriction on era, only that it has to be mechs only? more mechs = more dice to roll on offense, and less damage concentration on defense

depends on how you're classifying "legal", but the totally-legally-distinct name used instead of "battletech [mech name]" on 3d printing sites is "american mecha [mech name/legally-distinct mech name]"

^ i read it recently, and it was Fine. sortek's likeable enough, there was at least one decently-written mech fight, and the writing style wasn't my jam but specifically in the way that a lot of 80s scifi novels are not my jam, so no point off for that. the clone scheme was kinda convoluted though - choosing "making sure that your prisoner sees some of the clone scheme while sick and drugged, so that he casts doubt on himself when he tries to warn about the clone scheme" vs. "just fuckin killing him so he can't warn about the scheme" is very dumb in my books

five points of heat for ending in a fire hex, two points of heat for each fire hex that you have exited (so ending in a fire hex without touching any others that turn will be 5 heat that turn, not seven). also if the hex you're standing in gets ignited, it affect your heat until next turn (so it'll probably be 2 heat for leaving the hex)

personally i call it the ManrifleLaSquida posted:I really enjoy the ghost. me too, but i can't take credit for that, or for anything other than swapping the arms and legs (and then fixing a few gaps because the original art's arms had covered some things). it's the art for the Legend Killer, from the Battletech: Legends artbook

Holybat posted:I'd be on board if CGL would just commit and redo some of the damage values on ballistic weapons. I don't see why they couldn't just do a blanket revision rename the AC/2 to light autocannon, AC/5 to medium, and so on in an errata which would then give them a free hand to not have to have a gun do 2 points of damage because it's in the name. proposal: ac/20 is autocannon ac/10 is autorifle ac/5 is auto-??? ac/2 is auto-???

what's the point of jettison-capable weapons? the cases i can think of are "gauss rifle is one crit from exploding, might as well drop it" and "hot-loaded missile launcher, ditto". i don't get why, for example, the battlemaster has a jettison-capable ppc
