I’d be over the moon if Catalyst games brought battle tech to Sigil.

Isn't Catalyst Games Lab the same publishers of "Shadowrun"?

A virtual miniature wargame could be possible. You would choose the game system, but Iron Kingdoms could be closer to a collab.

Maybe other player would use those mechas to create a multiplayer hero shooter, where each mecha could use exclusive and special attacks. And other player would create a mixture of RTS and shooter where one player is the commander, building factories and ordering targets, and other players would be the "field agents". Maybe someone could control some squat.

Other option is Sigil working like "Dropox" allowing a second opportunity to cancelled projects. For example creating a hero shooter like Parangon, Crucible or Battleborn, and if you buy the pack, you can use the characters as virtual miniatures. It would be really crazy if you say you are going to play a cyberpunk game, and somebody chooses a virtual miniature of "Bleeding Edge", or "Agents of Mayhem".

Umm, you do know what a virtual table top is right? RTS and shooter? Neither of these would be possible on a VTT because a VTT does not have anything that would actually allow you to play either of these styles of game. No physics engine, nothing in real time, no actual game rules that allow you to play any of these.

Playing something like Battletech, which, yes, I believe Catalyst also owns Shadowrun, would be no different than any other tabletop game. You have your minis, you have your board and you might, if you're feeling fancy, automate some of the die rolling and be able to have a virtual character sheet, same as any other game.

Why would you think that you could play an RTS or a shooter on a VTT?

Sigil is said to be a 3D sandbox, not only a VTT. This could change all.

If Sigil is a 3d sandbox I would expect something closer to Tabletop Simulator then something that could act as a generic physics engine.

Dude, I would totally be up for that!

 

[Theory of Games]

If Drizzt can fight a Transformer, then G.I. Joe can take on Vecna!

 

[LuisCarlos17f]

That would be an interesting fanfiction. GI.Joe is chosen for an ultrasecret mission to cross a "stargate" and they travel to an alternate earth, Gamma World, but if the native menaces and the arrival of Cobra squads, also there are also other visitors from the D&D multiverse, and the Phyrexians from Magic: the Gathering, with some magitek vehicles from Kaladesh.

And Optimus Prime kicking-ass Inhumanoids, those kaijus from a forgotten Hasbro's franchise.

* The battlemechs, the mechas from Battletech franchise usually are 8-10 meter talls. This is close to size of D&D giants and cybertronians/transformers.

I wouldn't be the D&DB forum moderators if players start to chat about what mechas are more powerful, if from Battletech or Robotech.

* GI.Joe use tech from 1980'-2020y. They couldn't face easily technology from sci-fi franchises, but now I am thinking about a G.I.Joe-Star Wars mash-up, I don't mean a crossover but new "universe" mixing things from both. Why? Because the speculators would buy the limited edition toys to be sold later to collectors. (Don't fool me, now you are imagining Snake-Eyes and Storm-Shadow fighting with light-sabers!). There were Star Wars - Transformers toys in the past.

Or mixing Robotix with a softer version of Dark Sun. We have the classic spaceship or spelljammer crashed in a dessert planet, and this caused the restart of a forgotten war between biopunk mecha-like creatures, created when somebody tried reverse ingeneering from a cybertronian corpse.

....(and how would be virtual miniatures of Transfomers-Star Wars or any other collab?)

* And what if a pack was a life-simulation game like the sims, with a lot of social interactions, perfect to produce machinimas videos? This life-sim game could be played totally offline after be downloaded and installed.

And some streamer producing a machinima soap opera set in Cerilia/Birthright.. (and with a secret, one of the main characters is an isekai, a reincarnated from other world. Really it is her third incarnation, first in Cerilia, second in Gamma World and the third in Cerilia again. Other character is a psionic ardent because in her previous life she was a cleric of a deity from other wildspace.
