>There's a bit of magic bullshit in my setting but nothing too powerful. You can make a mazinger rip off but it's not beating a tank batallion
I can't imagine it with the information you've given. I don't know what a high level hunter is supposed to get access to that makes them stronger than the military mechs while also under weapons laws that restrict them from being stronger than military mechs.
>without busting out something like the Valkyrie from Macross from a more fortified base
This just loops back around. The players start on the bottom of the power scale, become stronger, and end up... still firmly under the boot of the government, no questions asked. It's not even close. Leveling up is just selecting how much the military has to send out to obliterate you with no escape from Samsara.
>"alright you guys are going to play a military unit!"
>"cool! when do we get to build and customize our mechs?"
>"You don't. Pick one out of these preset loadouts."
I mean does it matter when they're all way better? Is it fun to come up with a custom build that gets immediately killed by a basic mech with gun? What's the combination of sick magic powers and looted parts that makes up for "get oneshotted by a military mech wielding a AP battle rifle"?

This is just reminding me of Lancer doing "yeah actually spaceships are like 10 billion times as strong and more important and if a real war happened everyone would stop bothering with lancers". It deliberately minimizes the players importance in the world, which is what they wanted because they specifically didn't want players to be able to upset the setting.

>Is it fun to come up with a custom build that gets immediately killed by a basic mech with gun?
You're not fighting the *military* for 99% of the game unless your player group is really fucking stupid. Mechs can take hits from monsters and other non-military mechs just fine. In fact pilots get on kerfuffles with each other both for sport and to compete for jobs all the time. There's no reason to fight the military.
>I don't know what [...] laws that restrict them from being stronger than military mechs.
If someone has that much renown, they have connections.

I think you missed most of my posts but basically, no, the military is not unbeatable, but they are reasonably strong enough that most hunters won't bother fighting them. Because. There's no reason to fight them. If the government gets uppity about you and you don't want to kill a billion soldiers, just hide. Go anywhere else like every other pirate or rogue pilot that doesn't want to deal with the government. Most of the world is desolate and inhabited; You can just ignore the government and they'll stop giving a shit eventually.
If you're really, really, dumb, you COULD go for a scrap run on a military base but you'd be asking for so much trouble for not enough wife-changing money.

Yes I don't like how Lancer does worldbuilding too but I didn't do anything like that. One guy being able to take on the entire military, and the military being a massive boot that can crush everyone under are both things that don't happen because it would be a waste of time, resources, money and life for both sides if they tried. Rogue pilots have a LOT more money to make from annoying corporations.

The "using parts from monsters" thing doesn't happen that often but it's a plot point in my campaign. One of the corporations is trying to develop a system that uses a monster's body and frame to make beefed up mechs and it's fucking things around, and one of the player's character is involved.

>that can strip away what is making each mech different to begin with
If you're letting people build freely, you might as well differentiate the frame by position and size of upgrade slots, hardpoints for hanging shit off them, etc. Toss in a couple of weird ones where they have a unique feature the frame is built around and can't be added as an upgrade.

>>97194008
I still don't know what the players are supposed to get access to other than the basic limited weapons. What kind of abilities do players have? It's fine if they can't have AP ammo but they get other options instead.

I got a guy down in Uruguay looking around for their actual gov info. Tonight I'm checking out the burnt out remains of their facility. I'll report back on the equipment they had.

The news that Scarlet became a kindred was a shock to the whole house. Everybody is working overtime to gather presents for the newcomer, well beyond what she expressly requested, but also the victorious Venus in Furs and Mercury Lamp. It almost feels like we are celebrating Christmas this year.

I pointed out to Boy Toy and Blue Fairy these words, which I thought they didn't pay enough attention to, too focused on overcoming their surprise and then welcoming the new member of the family:
>I wonder how will she punish our brother when we come back, or did she start already? She says he is unworthy, he doesn't deserve to see Mommy, blah blah blah.
They feel worse now than ever, worse than when they thought they lost Scarlet forever. Silent, depressed, increasingly apathetic. Boy Toy thinks Venus hates him. Blue Fairy still thinks she's responsible for all of this, failing to stop Scarlet from posting here and failing to educate her, and so on.

Last year, she told me the story of Hachiko, the famous loyal Japanese dog which waited at the station for a dead master who would never return.

The two young kindred remind me of Hachiko, hopelessly hopeful as they're waiting at the door, with the staff going back and forth, adding to growing pile of presents. I've been drawing all night.

Please, Venus, my Venus... Did we not suffer enough? When you return, will you find it in your heart to forgive us, or will you walk past your two youngest and ignore our pleas and gifts?

An RAC/5 is nice but it's not exactly the end of the world for aircraft. From what I recall Hammer's has a practically muvluv-styled eradication of combat aircraft from direct laser fire, and it's a major factor of the setting so he can focus pretty much solely on ground combat. If they can't do that, suddenly aircraft are present again, and now you have all sorts of complications.
>>97194878
BA and mechs work together better than BA against mechs. Mechs carrying BA in particular is a pretty amazing combo and solves most of the others weaknesses. BA become insanely fast and reactive, the mechs now carry their own point defense and "delicate work" units.
Mechs can be pretty easily configured for effective anti-BA work, especially if it's IS tech and not elementals which require a lot more work and better tech put into them.

>>97194974
One mech with an active probe casually walking by at four times the speed of the fastest possible BA reveals all of them. It running by at six times their fastest possible speed reveals all of them and also gets behind hard cover.

That sounds entirely outside of the scope of normal combat vehicles in BT, including the mechs. Naval grade weapons could delete aircraft in one shot, but you're only mounting those on warships and things that would qualify as an Ace Combat final boss. Things being anti-air specifically is down to special ammo or special quirks (often both), not special guns. You can swat aerospace fighters and conventional fighters out of the sky using normal units, but anything that could delete them wholesale is an Event, and probably the entire objective of whatever match you're playing.

>>97182984
Yeah sure, because you know where the enemy mechs will be in 4 turns time. Or if you're using TAG good luck having your single spotter surviving that long.
Actually scratch that, cgl are removing artillery and travel times in favour of battlefield support cards anyway, so just convert all of your spare bv into bsp and go wild I guess.

Are there any RPG's with a dice system like trench crusades? 2d6 + modifier dice dropping/adding the highest, getting 7+ is a really fun base mechanic. You get the feeling of something extreme with a handful of dice, but it doesn't get to the point where you are chucking annoying amounts.

Old school White Wolf games are pretty close. Steve Jackson’s ‘In Nomine’ is a thematic match (PCs and NPCs are angels or demons incarnated on earth). It uses a 3d6 resolution mechanic in which triple 1’s show divine intervention (good for angelic players, bad for demonics) and triple 6’s involves satanic intervention (bad for angelics, good for demonics).
Instead of classes your character is a member of a ‘choir’ of angels, with specific powers, devoted to a specific archangel, or a ‘band’ of demons whose powers are corrupted versions of angelic powers, and who are devoted to to a specific fallen angel.
In terms of powers, for instance, Kyriotate angels don’t manifest physically but instead ‘possess’ people (usually in despair or on the point of self harm) but are obligated to leave their hosts better off than when the Kyriotate took them over.
Their fallen counterparts are the Shedim, who prefer to take over nonhuman hosts such as swarms of insects or rats, and must leave them worse off. Fun system.

On topic: just got done printing and curing the ‘church accessory’ sprues. Lots of greebles.

I see what you’re going for but there are a lot of very powerful and synergising abilities in there. Good flavour but may need dialling back.

Dogs should apply -1D to enemies only if 2 or more are in melee with a single target.
Doctor lacks utility, better to have a generic ‘risky action to remove 1 infection or wound marker’, but give him an acid grenade (counts as Fire).

This is why I like the Daedric Elder Scrolls pantheon more than the Warhammer chaos gods. They have more personality and individually while the chaos gods are too archetypal and generic.

I guess the trope started with Howard with Stygian Set and Lovecraft and then expanded by Moorcock, that there are inhuman forces of entropy that defy understanding that mortals humanize with their own motivations and motives. However that perspective is still too rational for someone to even comprehend fully, the only rational thing is to then go insane like in most Lovecraft stories. I like the fact that the Daedra also can have positive qualities depending on your goals , its a much more polytheistic attitude that you would expect from someone who believes gods exist and affect the world. Mehrunes Dagon is the prince of destruction but also represents mortal ambition. Boethiah is the prince of treason, assassination, but also the overthrowing of authority. A worshipper in TES could oportunastically switch up on worshipping

DnD cosmology is more egregious with this, considering people know that things like Demons, Devils and Hell exist, unlike in the Warhammer fantasy world. People who go for the pure evil cults like Cyric, Bane and Bhaal are just pure unapologetic sociopaths and even more organized cults like the Zhentarim barely hide it.

I also remember some good fanfiction about Lotr and how would the rationalization of cult of shadow and Melkor/Sauronite religion look like, in that Sauron's agents would spread the lie that the world was basically an illusion and that there were many world like Arda and that reality would not be created if not for Melkors "dark element" (not contradicting Tolkien in this way):

As far as Theism is concerned, Monotheism is the objectively the logical step after Polytheism.

As a matter of logically speaking I don't think a god from a polytheistic pantheon can't even really be called by definition a god unless you change the definition of god. Just a very powerful entity with a domain.

If you really think about it, an universe simply can't stay stable with multiple equaly powerful gods otherwise we'd end up in a Warhammer 40K situation (and that's if we're VERY LUCKY). So it makes sone to ultimately have one that god that is the real God. Even real life mythology had to cope with entities like Zeus, Odin and Perun otherwise reality would just collapse.

The example setting that comes with Basic Fantasy RPG has the monotheist Bethite faith and a lot of druidic and natural religions that worship deities that might or might not be just local spirits .
There are two competing Bethite sects with very different doctrines and theologies, and I find it pretty funny that clerics of both of them still get get power from their God equally.
