I'm really happy with this playtest build for level 3. It's all about movement, positioning and deadly strikes. And what makes even better is the change Ramon and I are thinking of. Instead of Stress as a mechanic we are switching to Focus. - which works much better for our game, see why below:

The Rodeo Fleet, a union of independent deep space freight crews, is responsible for the safe transport and processing of asteroids in a sol system where resource extraction on Earth is impossible. The Chavez is their first KM intended for combat- It's smaller than a Gupp, but extremely durable.

Now it is so important, I feel, for writers and artist who contribute to the fictional spaces of play seen in ttrpgs n the like to write compelling stories that challenge (slay) the systems we live in. There is no escape (cowarding) from combating the type of systems that dehumanize and exploit.

Hello new followers, please find my wicked son, and it's rugged half dying MB build. The card packs chosen allow the Quartz to become more effective when Heavily Damage. As long as the card Forged in Steel is in my discard I can remove it from the game when reduced to 0 HP to keep the fight up!

A Reddit player joined a playtest super hyped for the card-based pilot concept, but mid-game, they realized it’s more tactical RPG than card game. It caught them off guard... and honestly, made me think about our rules for elevation, LoS and the trappings of tactics games.

Truly, this is my favorite pack. It's a tier 3 skill pack that you can select once you hit level 3. Like most tier 3 packs, it's a deck-defining pack, really making you think about how you build your pilot deck and MB to complement its strategy.

Big Bomba mech incoming//> I think you can't make a mecha game without a missile mech. It's a mecha genre golden rule or something. The Balistic MB just wants to drop munitions on your mechanized shell- and there's absolutely nothing wrong with that.

In Mechanized Body, we're workshopping Combat Unit Points (CUP) a system that scales with player # and advancement. Game Operators are given a CUP budget to spend on sitreps, NPCs, and tactical upgrades, making it easy to build encounters that range from routine deployments to exceptional missions.

Mechanized Body uses a 2d6 system where most rolls succeed. Rolls of 3 to 5 are Glancing Hits, and 6 is a Direct Hit. Since you might not always have the right card for the moment, we made dice steady so you can still be effective. It rewards strategy without punishing the lack of it.
