Lessons learned from first actual fight in Mekton
Melee is ridiculous
AP is ridiculous
Scattershot is ridiculous
Taco's dodge is ridiculous
Fun as hell, though. This was worth waiting six bloody weeks of slice of life anime only broken up by one action scene :v:
also Smas has the most abusive relationship with laser dice
There's also a feat called Persist Spell which is what he's talking about
[QUOTE=SiberysTranq;49119372]Taco's dodge is ridiculous[/QUOTE]
You say that, but your Pilot is 1 higher than mine. If you were in my Mek you'd be even more ridiculous.
[QUOTE=SiberysTranq;49119372]also Smas has the most abusive relationship with laser dice[/QUOTE]
My pain never ends. It's like Roll20 [I]knows[/I] to critfail all of my rolls, and then roll abnormally high on the follow up roll. I swear that it's actually a supernatural beast eating up my natural luck to awaken the Dice Gods. I think from this point onwards I'm sticking to "psuedo random" dice rollers.

But I like my mek and being able to one-shot things :P
Also having armor, that's nice too
And if I got in your mek I'm pretty sure app would blow a gasket

For all that I maintain roll20 is random, you have at very least convinced me that it's got spite, if nothing else :v:

Mekton is ridiculous. Nerf Mekton. Also you forgot about Shock, which is also ridiculous.
Also you thought that was fun? I was completely out of it, I kept being delayed in my responses and you basically cruised through it. Only reason anyone got damaged at all was because of an unavoidable kamakazi that bruised Smas' chest a little.
Not that I'm complaining that you had fun. I'm just happy I was able to ferry you along into mecha combat at all. I was entirely ill-prepared for the session and the only reason we got anywhere was because of generic pre-prepared and reused assets I had laying around. (best gm right here)

Now that I think about it, both you and Sibs are about level with each other. Meaning Smas is the laggard here, meaning I should start making all the enemies harder and with bigger Meks and give them all OHKO magic beams with "Save vs 30 or am become kill" powers.

Look ya whiny tosser if you're so adamant about R20 being a shit I'll let you use Rolz instead. Your dice were pretty funny though. You'll get over it. At least you looked wicked rad when you hurricane-spin slashed that head off.
Clearly I should give up my career of piloting giant robots to just become a Solid Snake expy. I've already got the sneaking suit and some rogue-ish skills, I just need to be a bit better at dodging and learn some CQC, seeing as the other two have mecha combat down pat.

I've barely got any idea of what's going on in there.
[QUOTE=Sobotnik;49122456]I've barely got any idea of what's going on in there.[/QUOTE]
I got punched in the face and lost my main sensors, Smas started jamming me, I'm flying upwards and firing wildly at him.

I'm going to have to use my imagination.
Is it difficult to learn how to play Smash Mekton?

I ought to try this sometime.

"Smash" is just my own additive term, because it's essentially a tournament of Super Smash Bros that I'm running. The full game is Mekton Zeta, and yes, it's fairly difficult to learn. But the combat is satisfying and the payoff is rewarding with the right group.
[editline]15th November 2015[/editline]
Basically, what happened was the two charged at each other, Smas punched Nerts' head off, Nerts shot Smas' forcefield off, and then they started bitchslapping each other back and forth while continuing to fly around and scoring a variety of hits and dodges on the other.
Then Nerts wrecks Smas' shit with concentrated plasma fire to the torso, effectively winning the bonus round and netting himself a total of $30 in prize money.
Congratulations, Nerts! You are the very best, like no one ever was.

But he hasn't beat my master design, THE MEK-LESS NUKE
I'm really liking some of the additions SCAG brought.
[QUOTE=Rents;49122494]I won the tournament and I still don't know what I'm doing.[/QUOTE]
I've been playing Mekton for nearly a year and I still don't know what I'm doing. In my defense the rules are different every week. They're in a constant state of flux, and I'm never sure what's still true, and what isn't.
Why don't you just freestyle it and who does the coolest giant robot stuff gets the most dice

But then Appy's superinflated ego would destroy us all. It's unstoppable. :cry:
[sp]Es joke, you're pretty ok 98.7% of the time.[/sp]
I'm also needed 100% of the time. I was running my 1-1 Mekton game on the side while handling the tournament match, and now I'm starting Magical Burst. Which you're involved in, Smas, don't hide it. You're a shitty magical lesbian.
I receive no breaks. Only more suffering.

Lies and slander. I am basically Raiden with tits. And nobody fucks with Raiden. Not without being thrown into the air and sliced into a million pieces at any rate.

You got the edge down, I'll give you that.
All this talk about GMing reminds me that I gotta figure out shit for the Lost Planet style campaign I'm endlessly planning one of these days.
[sp]Any suggestions for systems in a frozen, futuristic colony world? I'm split between Traveler, Savage Worlds and Cyberpunk at the moment.[/sp]

I managed to bail before Burst made me even gayer, I don't know if that's a good thing or a bad thing. Also, is Vassal 40k still a thing? Thinking of running a 40k campaign series with that or something similar

I'd suggest Traveller, but that's just because I like it and I want to see more people playing it. I'm considering running something in it too, but probably not anytime soon. I still have to grind out 300 more hours in Fallout 4.
Mekton would also make for a good system, assuming you want realistic mecha fighting. Just... don't get too complicated with the designs. Bad times if you do.

I've played in a few games ran by Dan and I can confirm this is usually the case
the only time it wasn't was when I rewrote half the rules myself

We really have to get back to Fallout at some point. We basically never even playtested the new rules, for how short of a time they were with us.
Plus we have stats for [I]dog power armor, [/I]which just begs experimentation.
lets all play as dogmeat, reiley, dd, and slippery santiago
[editline]15th November 2015[/editline]
man i wanted to get a group photo of them but slippery santiago is bitch to find
