  • Heavy Gear 3E D20 Vehicle Errata
    Heavy Gear 3e D20 Vehicle Errata Sean Silva-Miramon ([email protected]) October 26, 2005 1 Introduction This errata applies to the d20 portions of the mechanical catalogue from Heavy Gear 3e Rulebook DP8-925C, Earth Companion DP9-926C (excepting Chapter 8 Spaceships), Vehicle Companion DP9-927C. This errata also applies to the Heavy Gear sections of the d20 Mecha Compendium DP9-910 and d20 Mecha Com- pendium Deluxe DP9-911. Some designs included here were not present in those books (primarily Colony variants). This errata is for the Heavy Gear 3e RPG only. This errata does not apply to, and is not compatible with, the Silhouette Core Heavy Gear Miniature Rules. 1.1 Weapon Damage Weapon damage was consolidated from the wide range of dice types used throughout the 3rd Edition Heavy Gear books to just the d10 and d12. This change was made for sound mechanical reasons and to match the weapons in Jovian Chronicles 2nd Edition. 1.2 Weapon Design To simulate the grappling hooks employed on several gears and frames a new weapon special attack was developed. Winch Special Attack Winch attacks are resolved per the grappling rules with the following modifications. The winch is consid- ered to have a Strength score equal to the Giant Robots/Mecha Suits normal Strength score plus twice the winches modifier. If a vehicle has the winch special attack, use the following Strength scores based on the size of the vehicle: Large 18, Huge 26, Gargantuan 34 and Colossal 42). The attacker can drag the target towards him at the rate one range increment a round if the target weighs less than the winches Heavy Load, two range increments a round if the target weighs less than the winches Medium Load and three range increments a round if the target weighs less than the winches Light Load.

Go get a coffee and browse. As Anon says; “Surely in Da Archive™ somewhere.” Part I is the Personal Collections. They are Huge. You need to go to each one and look at them. They often have over 1000 links each. Part II is the Alphabetical Section. Please buy a copy of a book if you use it. No really, I mean it.

  • Odyssey SEED
    Odyssey SEED REQUIRES THE USE OF THE SILHOUETTE CORE RULES BY DREAM POD 9 3 Odyssey SEED By Nicholas Pilon What is it? Odyssey SEED is a rewrite of the Odyssey, the original Jovian Chronicles campaign published in the Green Book way back in 1993. Yes, that’s where it all began. While it was an excellent campaign for its time, times have changed. The Jovian Chronicles universe has been fleshed out a lot since then, in the White and Blue books, and RPGs have developed a lot in ten years. So, just as the basic story of Gundam has been retold many times since the original Mobile Suit Gundam first aired over twenty years ago, with each incarnation building upon what had been learned in the development of the shows that cam before, I felt that it’d be worthwhile to rewrite and update the Odyssey. Campaign Assumptions The Odyssey SEED writeup assumes that the players are playing JAF exo-armor/fighter pilots, JIS agents, reporters, or one of the other standard archetypes. Some mix of the above three would work and could provide a good variety of skills, but this would also require the GM to put a wider variety of action in the episodes and possibly split the party more. Campaign Format Each episode is centered around a general scenario, such as protecting Elysee station or rescuing a scientist from the grips of CEGA. The general scenario is all that should really be considered fixed about the episode. After that, a list of sample plot points and NPCs are provided.

I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I by Martin Ouellette tween Dougrarn and VOTOMS was staggering. Instead of showing the hardship of a group of characters, Takahashi's story concentrated on one character, Chirico Cuvie. All VOTOMS is based on one question: if a soldier Imows nothingSample but war all file his life, what happens to him when the war ends and he must rejoin society (as formulated by writer and artist Tim Eldred)?Takahashi thought it would be nice to give the feel of Blade Runner to the setting of his story and this is when the idea of the Perfect Soldier (an artificial being created for war) came to him. After a lot of work and character development, this Perfect Soldier became Chirico Cuvie. Through his eyes and experiences, Armored Trooper VOTOMS was not only a war/robot story, it became Takahashi's vision of what war is: cruel, vicious and driven by men hungry for power and obsessed with domination. In a certain way, VOTOMS is probably one of the most realistic war stories in anime and is the proof of Takahashi's fantastic talent in the field. He recently worked on Kidou Senshi Gundam 0083: Stardust Memories and a new installment of Armored Trooper VOTOMS is now out.
