And that’s a fair way to handle it. If somebody wanted to run a chivalric knight in one of my non DL games I’d be fine with it; but since I’m otherwise lukewarm on the setting itself it probably won’t be enough to tempt me to buy it, but I am curious to read the reviews when it comes out

I voted undecided, but I'm tending toward "probably not." I read the first 2 trilogies when I was a kid and loved them, but when I read them years later as an adult they didn't really hold up for me. I only ever played in one actual Dragonlance game, and no one I know in my personal gaming...

Also Dropship pilots for better deployment options. I've also let them hire support units, like recon helicopters and troops (though those can be very fragile if misused). Sometimes I'll also give them the option to subcontract to the locals to get extra options for a single mission (maybe tank...

When I've run BattleTech as a campaign, I do like to let the players try to salvage units they've downed, and give them opportunities to buy new machines from the market. Rather than force them to do spreadsheet accounting, though, I'll give them generic 'resource points' after each mission, the...

So one might say we should play the Cicada just for kicks? ... I'll see myself out.

In some of the more rpg-style campaigns I've run over the years, I've created scenarios where using scout mechs makes sense (where speed might be more important), or gave them special home-brew rules for recon and sensors. But yeah, it takes some effort to give them a viable role. (And the...

Yes, the Phoenix Hawk definitely struggles in those categories. Some of the variants manage their heat a little better than others, but I still have a soft spot for them. Some runners' up for me in the Medium category (and arguably, better 'Mechs) would be the Blackjack, Enforcer, Wolverine...

Inner Sphere: Light - Jenner (highly mobile, plays well in most era's, a great harasser / flanker) Medium - Phoenix Hawk (Maybe it's some Macross nostalgia, but it's always been a solid skirmisher in my games) Heavy - Crusader (I have a soft spot for the Warhammer too but the squishy leg armor...

I got my first exposure to the BattleTech universe with an old PC game called Crescent Hawks Revenge. In many ways the game was a precursor to the real time strategy genre, which should then come as no surprise that the games' creators, Westwood Studios, would go on to create the Command and...

Yes, this is a must-have for me!

I voted Strange New Worlds, but I've really been enjoying Orville. If you have to pick 1, you might ask yourself: Do you want a show closer to TOS in spirit (SNW) or TNG in spirit (Orville)?

I feel like the movies have been very uneven and disconnected in this Phase, where everything before felt much more interwoven and connected (esp after Phase 2). The movies have been mostly "fine", but a few notes: 1) I felt like ScarJo got a weak send-off in her own movie. Florence Pugh took...

In addition to Journeys, you can easily port LU monsters, spells, and Magic Items

My list is going to sound a lot like the ones above me, but I think our interests in LU are going to differ because you've said you're burned out on 5E, where-as I never was. I just wanted something that could 'spice-up' the game and bring in some of the features I missed from the controversial...

I don't know that specifically Tiny heritages would appeal as much to my group, but as a fan of your first Heritage book I'd love to see our minds get changed!

I've been running an ongoing O5e campaign that I've successfully imported a number of AE5 features pretty seamlessly. I've used Journeys, Levelup Monster Blocks, and some of the magic items and equipment. Sometimes there's a matter of translating fatigue for exhaustion, or one skill for another...

Speaking for myself, I would have the same criteria as any other rpg adventure: intriguing narratives, compelling scenes, and engaging NPCs that hand me the tools (as DM) to weave a fun session or three. As a specific A5e product, I would expect to find Maneuver-wielding enemies, a new type of...

Sounds like a fun experiment! I'd love to hear the highlights from both playthru's

Thanks! Yes, I agree, the Destinies are pretty comprehensive... which is why I couldn't think of any new ideas, but I greedily just want more (maybe I have a problem...) :D

@Steampunkette Hopefully I'm not derailing the flow of the conversation too much, but going back to the original post and your request for suggestions, I'd love to see more Destinies but I don't have any inspiration for what they might be. Also, I'm happy to see the preview for Combat Maneuvers...
