You should fear being gay and wrong. Mechs are anthropomorphic. They need to have some kind of non-conventional element like legs or a head or hands. Heavy object isn't mecha. They're literally just tanks.
>I'll just say that I consider mecha to be giant
You just said votoms isn't mecha and you're gay and wrong.

>if all you did was play a loud crunch sound and shake the screen + some motion blur from the explosion
No, that's actually going to lead to players asking "why does the game keep shaking the screen and making loud noises and getting blurry?" because the cars are minuscule and hard to notice. You've shot out the other end and you think small immersive details should override everything else.

well I'll talk setting because I don't have minis (unfortunately)
My setting is mostly civilian monster hunters fighting monsters, although the military do use mechs as well but in combined warfare strategies (as regular vehicles and missiles can shut down mechs pretty easily if the pilots aren't above average).

The civilian monster hunters are basically all Ace Customs, without the aces - the organizations benefit from their pilots having good branding, so they incentivize their pilots to customize their mechs and paint livery on them based on their own tastes and aesthetics, so the pilots gain reputation individually and said reputation is tied to their organization. There are mechanical artisans that specialize painting, vanity, physical modifications on parts and more (which is the excuse I give my players to allow a variety of mech designs regardless of parts equipped), which means there's a massive culture of mecha fancy, both for combat but also for entertainment (as mechs are used in a variety of fields besides combat). Each region has a dominant aesthetic for the average mecha pilot, but there's tons of variation; A war that occurred a few years ago kind of shuffled people around worldwide, so there's a bit of everything everywhere. Not all pilots want to play doll though, and it's perfectly fine to just buy your parts and use them the way they are, but there will probably be SOMETHING your average pilot will want to change.

Military mechs are usually standardized with their paint and design, and commanders have small markings for the sake of it. Military mechs are MUCH more powerful than your average civilian monster hunting mech though (as in, they actually use live AP ammo and have access to good transport and sensors), so if you see 3-4 greyish/greenish mechs using practically the same parts and equipment, you fucking run.

If a man were to play Wrecka Krew what would be a good loadout and stuff to keep in mind with them?

I definitely will play the Demolisha, Krusha, and Rokkiteer, but what else should I have? I heard having two Breaka Boy Fighters is also a potent mix, I am stretching out from playing specifically marine teams, so I'm a tad at odds here.

Also, I wish the Nob had more armor on him, I'm thinking of greenstuffing chainmail on his exposed parts. Thoughts?

So something I'm just tossing out there, the Virizid, are only rough Imperial technology(Advanced Space) and their naturally long lived(100~200 years). So if we factor in rejuvenants they could probably live centuries. What if they still haven't mastered warp travel. They just travel through real space because they're in no rush to their destination. They haven't been able to distinguish, AoS humans or the Imperium. During the Great Crusade some Space Marine legion rocked their shit but the Heresy started. Imperial records thought they were effectively genocided but the crusade only reached outer colonies. So Virizid are slowly reclaiming worlds that they lost and they stumble upon the Frontier world and their fleet was armed and ready to engage a much larger force than what was stationed there.

I was considering maybe have them be hired by someone to defend the child pope in Thrane from a suspected assassination attempt after she pushes for the church to relclassify monster races as "not inherently evil", sort of as a PR move like "hey, look at these good monsters!", only for the entire job to be a set-up to have them be caught in some kind of compromising position where the templars come in and frame the party as the assassin's. The whole thing would be orchestrated by the Head Cardinal who wants the church to go back to its old, less tolerant ways.

Rough ideas of a plan, but that's what I've come up with so far.

This is incorrect.

Capital is in the continent of Rioja, which is separated from the continent of Vasloria by an ocean and a supernatural maelstrom. They have trade and contact with one another (there are always people foolhardy enough to brave the maelstrom), but the vortex limits it.

Rioja and Vasloria are both continents of the world of Orden, which is one of the lower worlds. While the upper worlds have the metaphysical energies necessary for space opera technology to function, the lower worlds do not, as per the core rulebook, p. 12:

>Traveling downward from Quintessence one arrives on Orden, the Plane of Gods and Sorcery, highest of the lower worlds where magic rules. The gods, forbidden from interfering directly in a world with such a low energy state, rely on saints to enact their will. Technology from the upper worlds does not function down here, unless powered by a strong psionic mind or the miracle mineral iridoss, also known as prismacore.

The division between the subsettings is fairly coherent. I know that it might superficially look like a wild hodgepodge of a setting where lots of memonek and time raiders are running around """""medieval""""" fantasyland, but it is not.

>>97185995

There are actual rules for montages (i.e. 4e-style skill challenges) and negotiations. That is more than D&D 5e and Daggerheart can say.

>>97181378
If you're not interested in either then why force yourself to run it? If they players are really interested then they can run it with you as a player.

I haven't played Daggerheart but I love DS. If you like shit that makes you feel cool and smooth engaging combats I recommend that system heavily. I could talk a lot about the things I like about it.

PC option balance in Draw Steel is okay enough. There are definitely some outliers and "correct" builds.

Forced movement builds completely demolish enemies without high stability, and a hakaan null (metakinetic) is probably the one build with the highest optimization ceiling in the game because of this. Yes, a "monk" shoving people around is as strong as it gets. A good runner-up might be a hakaan fury likewise abusing forced movement, probably with a Hurling weapon for range.

I hope you do not mind some Reddit links, because these two threads cover a hakaan null and a hakaan fury:
https://www.reddit.com/r/drawsteelbuilds/comments/1mulvvi/what_are_your_thoughts_on_a_hakaan_nulls/
https://www.reddit.com/r/drawsteelbuilds/comments/1mwh4p1/the_king_a_reaver_fury_forced_movement_build/

Aside from these, I have noted that virtually every high-optimization party wants a tactician (i.e. warlord), because it allows a party to coordinate their tactics and focus their fire far better than, say, a troubadour (i.e. bard). Similarly, the talent (i.e. psion) has some rather nutty hard control, like level 2 Slow and level 3 Fling Through Time, and its level 1(!) Flashback allows the party to spam some of its better synergies.

Honorable mention goes to the fury's level 2 You Are Already Dead, which can completely blow through a higher-level elite and trivialize it.

Corporate War lore is flawed, I agree. In the setting there is "four" corporate wars but of them all only really the Fourth and """maybe""" the Second are conflicts that could be considered to slightly resemble actual wars, the other two are pretty small scale operations. This is in spite of the fact that Cyberpunk 2020 is supposed to be a setting where corporations violently targeting rivals in small scale ops is already normal, and big corporate conflicts that quote "make Vietnam and Afghanistan look like picnics" are supposed to be an accepted occurrence across the world.
All in all, I tend to prefer the V3 take of the fourth corporate war eventually spiraling out of control into what is essentially the setting's WW3 involving the world's nations because the big corps just have that much pull.
The canon conclusion to the war because nations are powerful enough to just lol nationalize Militech and Arasaka assets, just makes both companies look incredibly retarded for ever thinking they could get away with it.

This reminds me why aren't there more villains with memory manipulation? They could make the hero forget their powers, make them forget the keys/password to their own lair, make them forget to breathe, or implant false memories of doing something terrible to torture them with guilt

Of course, in a real game the mediocre apathetic GM will be shuttling you as a single group from one meaningless combat encounter to the next, so the powers on your character sheet are your only means of interacting with the game, so you'd better pick interesting ones.

For TCG proxies? Making it look good if you have transparent back sleeves isn't worth the effort unless you have access to very thick card stock and a printer that is compatible with that. The common thing is take the card fronts only, print them, get sleeves with a solid back, slide some chaff mtg into the sleeve, slide the printed card front over it.

If you're using something like ultra pro ultra matte or whatever tf they're called, if you use any average commercial grade printer or like a decent inkjet at home once you slide it in if you sized it right no one can tell its a proxy if it's just an average game with someone across a table. The sleeve fronts are kinda textured and foggy in a way that I've printed foils and you can barely tell even they're not real from certain games where they're not physically textured. I use mtg as the backs because they have that solid black border and then black sleeves, it makes it less sus as well

It's what TCGs are for. their purpose is to milk players like cattle, and discard them when they stop producing. any of these games could as easily be a boardgame or LCG. by choosing to launch as a TCG, James was telling you up front that "fuck over old players" was always going to be part of the deal. he unambiguously informed you up front the nature of your relationship. stop acting surprised.

>AAAAA FUCK YOU JAMES CAGE WHITE THE GAME IS TOO FUCKING EXPENSIVE
But I never said that. Different people, ones who haven't been playing long, were sick of the fact the older cards were flushed out of the market and expensive. Their ubiquity serves as a different complaint, but that also significantly drives up the price. There's simply no other viable options. Not a lot of people realize how much gear and other cards get reused across all heroes.

>>97188193
>AAAAAA FUCK YOU JAMES CAGE WHITE THE GAME IS TOO SIMILAR TO HOW ITS ALWAYS BEEN
I think that's largely due to the fact that we now know why these cards are the only ones worth using. LSS refuses to advance the game designs to produce so much as a side grade, or ideally something different and new. They stopped experimenting and instead chose to reiterate their works.

Imagine how exciting this new set would be if they spent all those Legendary slots on brand new and unexplored alternatives to the most reused cards instead of clogging it up with reprints?
