Library tries to kill us.

Hmm, taking a standard, say piloting roll of 5+ being a clean/full success (83.3% success), and flipping it around to figure out the...

I am toying with PBTA as the core roleplay side. Oddly enough, its 2d6 like BT wargame is. And so if I am clever I can make Gunnery...

Ah, Hextech, nice! Got a chance to see it in action at a con back in Jan. (I've printed some terrain bits over the past couple of...

(On a completely separate note, it's been 20+ years since I last released some alternate BattleTech rules... not sure how these will be...

Oh by the beard of Kerensky we're going to cause a/the jihad, aren't we? :P Well, if it gets rid of RACs, small price to pay. ;)
