So, subsystems are done.

All that's left are the remainder of the Heavy (two handed) weapons, and that'll be everything.

Good to know RE psyoniks. Also, ELMA + Cytokine + Psy Overclocker = Carnage, I assume. I will ask again, however: I assume we can't have any stats at or below 0, and/or that those represent Bad Times if those wind up that way?

@BCTheEntity

I would not recommend going below 0 in any case.

Unless you specifically, like, want to RP a juggernaut that's actually just a walking death trap.

Player Characters were the ultimate Bartleby's of the Mekhanauts universe: whenever it asked something of them they simply 'would rather not.'

Let me take this a step further and say PCs regularly practiced the perception of acausal effects. They knew that phenomena (that which can be perceived by the senses) and noumena (that which is the thing-itself) were both illusions, with the second one just being more clever.

PCs could divide by zero. PCs could have negative Armour on a juggernaut and still have them there, standing clear as day. There isn't even a word to describe the Player Characters' views on divinity. They were atheists in a universe where gods existed.

Just for the sake of puttin' it out there, I plan on going for a Marksman-ish mech with utility options like the Faraday Scrambler and perhaps Ghostvision Lens ^^

[Abstract Proxy]

Consoling myself after failing to find anything approaching a good mech pic, I made the following to help organize things outside of my head.



Lasers go pew, so they are pretty cool, but honestly, not super wedded to any particular brand of violence, atm.

If someone finds out what Chassis Options are, hit me up, thx.

Heavy Gear has some nice images if you search the Table top miniatures an RPG

Ah, was the 2 x Chassis just a typo for the CS then?

I got confused and thought the second one was something optional, lol.

Yep, it's definitely a typo.

The OOC and the Discord are up.

[rocketrobie2]

You guys got oodles of interest but if you’ve got room for one more I’d love to join in on this. Regardless I REALLY hope this gets going because I’ve been stalking the OOC for a week now. Wicked concept

[Black Omnimon]

This sounds interesting. Is it still moving forward?
