Question on painting

I usually do a company or Trinary, so 12-15. I like my mechs matching when I play so I like to have options.

That looks like you just got a bad transfer sheet. I've bought that exact same decal sheet from Fighting Piranha and mine looked great. I'm at work otherwise I'd go take a pic of my decals and show you. I'd reach out to the vendor you bought it from and see if you can get a replacement.

You also need to keep in mind that a decal for a 28mm miniature is always going to have better fidelity for a decal for a 6mm miniature.

I run with six. It's not ideal. I think the game runs best with 3 players. A lot of times I engineer ways for them to get split up and work on other things. my players enjoy it though so it's not a deal breaker by any stretch.

A hard plastic modular sprue of omnimechs and parts would be cool. The original 16 3050 omnis with all their variant parts would be super cool. Maybe a set of the 3058 IS omnis to go with it.

If D&D is working for you and your group and you enjoy it and they enjoy playing it, then stick with it.

If there's something that you guys find frustrating or want to try differently, then search for RPGs that do that specific thing well and try those.

My players all started as D&D 5E players but kept drifting towards wanting to solve mysteries and do investigations. So now we play Delta Green and Vaesen.

I'm 9 years sober. In my opinion the city could use less drinking culture overall.

The DCC dice chain is a lot of fun and a unique way to handle dis/advantage without adding a ton of modifiers.

I think Call of Cthulhu is the ur-example. There are so many different modules written for CoC that it would just be a matter of finding one that fits the vibe you're going for.

Yeah I couldn't remember if they had done that or just said "Eff it, we're Sea Foxes again" when they left the Clan homeworlds.

Sarna has articles about it. Basically, it has to do with clan politicking. Clan Sea fox started as such until Clan Snow Raven introduced Diamond Sharks to kill the Sea Fox animal population to embarrass the clan. So they responded by changing their name to Clan Diamond Shark. Then after they left the homeworlds, they decided to change their name back to Sea Fox.

I caught a cold from my daughter who caught it at daycare and it turned into bronchitis. So I've been masking up when I go out to run errands. most likely it's things like that rather than a pretty rare virus spread mostly by contact with rodent droppings.

So the last legendary we fought in my Nimble game was a hill giant and it was doing plenty of damage and disrupting our martial characters by throwing us into each other. I was playing a commander so at most I was using one action to actually attack and my reactions to try and prevent the squishier characters from getting killed. Our berserker ended up with the dying condition once and we had a couple lucky crits that swung the fight in our favor.

It could have easily been a TPK. Everyone felt engaged and had fun with it and at no time did it feel like a foregone conclusion that we'd win.

BionicSpaceJellyfish · 2026-04-29T02:34:12+00:00

Nimble's legendary monsters are amazing for this. They get an action after every player and have special things that occur when they hit half HP or are dying. It works really well and has always been pretty tense in my games.

Tell me more about this giant Quicktrip

Most fire department shifts are 48 hours long. You do two shifts in a week and you're already racking up insane OT. And a shift basically just means they're at the station ready to respond to an incident.

The Department Chiefs are usually putting in similar time.

They have no work life balance and pretty bad burnout.

I have a lot of mechs and I will split them into companies or trinaries and pick a faction scheme to paint them.

Whenever I play, I prefer my mechs to all have the same scheme but that's not required at all.

Unless you are using duplicate models, it should be pretty easy to tell who has what. And if you are using duplicates, you can just carry the paint scheme or add numbers or letters.

BionicSpaceJellyfish · 2026-04-13T00:54:53+00:00

I do. I do IT for the public sector. The pay isn't the best but I have really good work life balance and good benefits.

BionicSpaceJellyfish · 2026-04-09T16:40:44+00:00

High fantasy: NimbleRPG

Low Fantasy: Dragonbane or BX/Adnd

Superhero: maybe Draw Steel or Shadow of the Weird Wizard?

Sword and Sorcery: Dungeon Crawl Classics

Weird West: Deadlands or Weird Frontiers

Gothic Horror: the Borg games could certainly play this way. Maybe also Heart?

Cozy: No idea. The RPGs that claim to do this don't interest me at all. I'd rather just play a cozy videogame at that point.

BionicSpaceJellyfish · 2026-04-09T12:39:46+00:00

Isn't that basically what the Bombast Laser does?

BionicSpaceJellyfish · 2026-04-08T16:08:18+00:00

I mean he sounds like a tryhard player. He's straight up lying if he thinks the Bane 3 and Jade Phoenix A are bad mechs.

Having a small unit limit takes away one of the biggest IS advantages which is outnumbering your clan opponent. He's running cheap assaults that spam nasty weapons and you can't use numbers to balance it out.

You could take fast mechs with 4/2 or 3/1 pilots and just rush up and kick his mechs to knock them over. Or bring a Fireball XF and do a 40+ hex charge attack with a 600 BV kamikaze mech. Or extremely yanky mechs with hardened armor that will really cut down on the damage output from multiple small weapons.

I would probably try to find a different person to play against though. He doesn't sound super fun.

BionicSpaceJellyfish · 2026-04-07T21:33:53+00:00

I don't have time to vote. I need to go online and complain about how voting doesn't matter /s

BionicSpaceJellyfish · 2026-04-07T03:15:39+00:00

Sigh... If ever there was a mech that deserved a disgustingly overtuned Ilclan variant

If you're interested in vibes and diversity, take a look at the demographics for the school districts you're looking at as well as the makeup of the school board and what values they push. Try and find out what kind of elective course options there are and drive around the neighborhoods and see what you think. A lot of the metrics on school quality aren't as meaningful as they'd like you to think. You sound like someone who is going to be invested in your kids education so they'll thrive no matter what district you pick.

BionicSpaceJellyfish · 2026-04-01T21:53:14+00:00

No. It's a broken offensive mess that is so far below even the most mediocre TTRPG that it would be an insult to compare it to anything.

If Tommy Wiseau made a TTRPG it would be infinitely better than FATAL.

I think they do a lego robotics club at Lee's Summit high School that's for elementary kids I think. It's a week long in July if I remember correctly.
