[QUOTE="WanderingDarwish, post: 9163877, member: 7042849"] Hello, everyone! We are pleased to announce that we have launched a flexible funding campaign on IndieGoGo - [URL="https://igg.me/at/mercenarium/x/7150191#/"]Mercenarium: Galaxy Ablaze - 5E Campaign[/URL] It is set to only our art costs and is flexible, so whatever you give, we will get. All the rewards are still there, so you can choose the same pledges as KS and back with the same amounts and we will be funded. We have already reached 18% funding within the first week! This update also serves as a reminder that you can switch from Kickstarter to IndieGoGo. And for those worried the Kickstarter campaign has not taken any money from your back accounts as it did not reach it's funding goal. But that's not all! We have new page prototypes for the different mechs you may encounter in your adventures! [IMG alt="[RPGnet] Mercenarium: Galaxy Ablaze - Sci-fi 5E Campaign and Sourcebook Kickstarter: {filename}.{extension}"]https://ksr-ugc.imgix.net/assets/042/695/333/12fee83ca7aa8a6b724d2c80ff54eab7_original.jpg?ixlib=rb-4.1.0&w=700&fit=max&v=1697380297&gif-q=50&q=92&s=36c91d5da775178cca66b003a28ce48a[/IMG] The keen-eyed among you may have noticed that the Rapier mech has a specific wording in its stats - Stock Machine Personality. All AI Mechs have a standard Machine Personality (MP) from the following list: [LIST] [*]Sentinel AIs [/LIST] Autonomous defense systems tasked with protecting key installations or areas. [LIST] [*]Archivarius AIs [/LIST] AIs dedicated to gathering, analyzing, and disseminating knowledge. [LIST] [*]Medic Nexus AIs [/LIST] Specialized medical AIs used for healing and surgeries. [LIST] [*]WarMind AIs [/LIST] Battle-oriented AIs, usually embedded within warships or combat mechs [LIST] [*]Harmonizer AIs [/LIST] AIs designed for diplomacy and negotiation [LIST] [*]OrgSys AIs [/LIST] AIs designed for management of storage facilities. [LIST] [*]ShadowNet AIs [/LIST] Stealth and hacking-oriented AIs, specializing in infiltrating networks, gathering secret data, or cyber sabotage. [LIST] [*]EcoGuardian AIs [/LIST] Environmental monitoring and protection AIs. As with the ships there are Additional Rules [LIST] [*]Combat Hacking. AIs can be hacked during combat by players and vice-a-versa. The hacker must have a cyberdeck and succeed an Intelligence (Technology) check versus the AI’s Intelligence score. Roll the AI Malfunction Table for Results. [*]Overcharge. All mechs are able to overcharge their engines/cores to gain temporary boosts from the Overcharge Effects Table. This however comes at a cost. If the mech is damaged and tries to overcharge, roll for a random result on the Overcharge Effects Table. [*]Special Ability: Use a special ability or feature of the mech, if it has any. The effects of the special ability are determined by its specific rules. [*]Mech Damage: Every successful damage beyond 25% of the mech’s HP adds a potential negative modifier. Roll for result. [/LIST] The Machine Personality can be changed in case you get your hands on a mech and wanna experiment! Speaking of Rapier and Guardian Mechs , we have received 3D prints of them!
