Battletech with D20

[Aussiegamer]

sorry for high-jacking topic :\

In general it's a very good system IMO, the overpenetration rules for AP bleeding out into area damage may need some tweaking. The last time I checked them they were based purely on AP. Its a good mechanic but might improve from taking the overall damage of the weapon into account as well as AP.

can you contact me at rpgprojects and discuss there? or would you prefer to start a new topic here?

Would like to discuss in more depth to get the idea you are talking about, i know battletech had rules for such things, just need to understand the slant to mine

And yes the new mechanics will be time consuming, more for creatures any way, as the vehicle stuff will remain the same.

For the Mechs and vehicles system, take a look at Armageddon:2089 (by Mongoose).

Who wouldn't love to tweak with the rules these day?

Me! I've become quite the lazy gamer. Don't have time to tweak to my heart's content, especially if I'm not getting paid for it!

Seriously, those bills are piling up.

Any particular reason you can't use the actual BattleTech rules Devyn? Failing that, take a look at the "dueling" rules they included with the Solaris 7 boxed set.

Then you're in the wrong hobby.

You've got to be pulling my leg if you think rewriting the rules for the games you pay good money for is an essential part of this hobby.

paths diverge-----I do it so I can enjoy my hobby more.

Essential, no. But it can be fun to try twist the rules to see how it works.

 

[Roudi]

Right, it can be fun. I agree, and there was a time when I enjoyed tweaking and rewriting the rules to match my ideas.

But to be told that, if I don't enjoy this, that I'm in the wrong hobby? Come on.

You can. You might have to change 'Mech weapon damage stats to fit with the known d20 system scale, unless you want to provide a different damage & health system.
