TSC Ep32: The MechTech's Lament


Listen Later

Jesse, Scott, and Jo are 'MechTechs today! Remember MechWarrior 2? Customizing works in the videogames but not on the table. How do we solve that? Scott's made some killer LAMs in MegaMek, but would never bring them to the table. Does BattleTech have to change to allow for customs? Compounding BV? RAT tables for equipment? Can tonnage, C-bills and BV work together in a way to make that work? Are we just reinventing the MUL? What if you can only change a little. Maybe that's where the different weapon-type slots in the videogames come from. Stick to doing it by tonnage? How do we stop medium laser boating in that case? More of Jesse's food analogies. Way back when the constructions rules were as much for the designers as the players. Maybe it's just a different kind of game.
