PoptartsNinja posted:I give it a 7. It has my new favorite video game character (Varric), I liked most of the other NPCs (Fenris was even acceptable once you realize he's partly a parody of Cloud from Final Fantasy VII, the only one I didn't like was Anders... I also don't have Sebastian because I'm not paying $7.00 for a worse Varric). And their choice of the guy who voiced Balthier in FF XII to voice Fenris makes it all the more explicit, especially since he used the exact same voice as he did for Balthier.

Remind me in three months and I'll LP it. I genuinely liked the game for what it is, and it leaves me a lot of room to add narration and/or humor. Working on the update now, incidentally.

It's a little late, but here you are all the same. Justice Foot My recording setup is unfortunately lacking, as I only have a headset mic. If reception is positive, though, I'll see if I can manage to whip something up for The Ballad of Engine Joe. I... I actually rather like singing  Also, can someone recommend a good audio host? zshare was just the first I could find with a player.

Now that I've read from page one to here, I'm starving for updates And I have a hankering for some Mechwarrior that I've kept at bay for a long while, but now that I've seen the tabletop rules actually laid out a ton of poo poo that never made sense finally does. Some guys from another forum were playing games a few months ago but it looked too complicated so I skipped out  I gotta say I love the idea of a fictional reboot here, too.

Physical Combat Phase: End Phase: “Snipers in the—” Someone started, but was lost in the general cacophony of combat as his ‘Mech shut down around him. Bobby wouldn’t have had it any other way. He watched dispassionately as his final salvo cored the blasted Vindicator, SRMs blasting the delicate engine apart in a storm of shrapnel. The Vindicator crumpled like a marionette with cut strings. Skinwalker was satisfied, and would fight again. Bobby smiled a wolfish smile, resisted the urge to pat his ‘Mech’s control panel. The heat was sweltering, and with the engine failsafes engaged his ‘Mech wasn’t doing much more than circulating coolant now. He lit a cigarette, and cracked open his cockpit hatch to vent some of the blistering heat the good-old fashioned way. He looked at the Vindicator again, thought he could make out a pilot fighting to free himself from a cockpit fused shut by a medium laser. The Blackjack’s jets fired as it simply abandoned its lancemate to the waiting coyotes. Bobby’s eyes sparkled with amusement as he took a puff from his cig. “Was it as good for you as it was for me?” he asked rhetorically. He wasn’t transmitting, there was nobody who could answer. It didn’t matter, as soon as his ‘Mech cooled down enough, that pilot was eating a large laser. It wasn’t even to punish him for firing at an ejecting ‘Mechwarrior. That’s just how Bobby was.

I'm full throttle charging to 1105 and firing all four big guns at the Blackjack. That's gonna put me at +19 heat. It's just you and me at this point, Bunny. Let's finish the son of a bitch off.

There's less than a zero percent chance La Dama dies next turn. Goon luck just doesn't run that way. That said, the Goblin crew shouldn't run, given that it's been ruled if all armor and 'mechs die all infantry instantly routs. They're Cappellan troops. They know they'll be executed for cowardice if they flee, so they've got a better chance of trying to ride it out in their crippled, weaponless tank. (At least that way there would be some small strategic choice for the remaining Space Mexicans, beyond "Snipe Blackjack from out of weapons range with 2:1 advantage, laugh all the way to bank".) Fake Edit: Goddamn you minefields! Stop being worthless. He's blundering right through you and you've done sweet dick all to actually slow him down.
