Which of the core rulebooks do I need to read if I want to play Battlespace?

>>66855753And knowing that the Dropship you come down, should be able to carry 6 mechs in a pinch, if the fighter bays are empty and I assume they are empty as it is never mentioned if that Merc company you lead actually has any aerospace assets except the dropships.
I swear the complainers don't read anything past the RATs. The book says the regular Aurigan armed forces have nothing heavier than a Wolverine, but considering the fact that they have 3 or 4 merc companies on payroll you can guess where the heavies are. And to forestall the obvious counter argument, the merc RAT says you can take a corresponding result on the employer's RAT, hence te need for heavy shit on the Aurigan RAT..

>>66859872>Why do smelly peasants and freedmen think they have a right to own land and become lords in your setting, /osrg/?assuming they're adventurers than it's quite simple, if you don't appease their whims for land they'll probably gut you like a fish and set your castle ablaze with some sort of magical fire that freezes things instead of burning them or some other such magical nonsense, while if you give them land they'll often be satisfied with otherwise unproductive frontier land that none of your existing gentry and nobility want to bother with, not to mention it usually means they'll be giving you a big fat pile of treasure in exchange for said land, and you now have said powerful bastards working for you so they can deal with some of your issues for yousure this often results in some grumbling from your existing nobility, but to be frank at least half of them have an adventurer or two in their family trees anyways so they can deal with it
>>66860586How would you know? I made it and I’ve never said who it represents.
>>66860048/pol/tards, everyoneGo be retarded somewhere else
I have a reasonable degree of familiarity with 4th and 5th edition D and D as a player, never as DM though. What advice would you give me and what resources are recommended. Already have world and story modules set up, similar to shadowrun modules. Not much else than that sorted out.
>>66852872>>66856609>>66858179>>66859941Thanks boys
Has anybody got any good character sheets.
Dawnforgedcast's videos are bit dated but were/are very useful for me learning to be a better GM and player.
First thing's first: if you don't know about The Trove, google that shit. You can find most anything you'd need and much more there. Aside from that I'd just stress the need for communication with your players. Give them as much information as you can and be honest when you can't. You're only human: they'll understand if you need time to plan and might even help you hash out the setting. The game is theirs as much as it is yours, so don't be ashamed of outright taking ideas from your players. I'd also advise knowing your players before you plan your setting. Make sure you know what kind of game they want and make sure they know what kind of setting you're happy to run, then see if you can meet in the middle. If there's possibility for conflict make sure you address it before it gets out of hand. For example, some groups love a bit of inter-party conflict, but this dynamic can be entirely thrown off if somebody takes it too far. Be as consistent with rules as you can. It's okay to make things up, and it's also okay to admit you made a bad call, just make sure you reach a point where everyone understands the rules. Again this can depend on your party's dynamics: it's okay to be lenient with easygoing groups, but be clear and adamant around rules lawyers (and also tell them to get their head out of their arse if they kick up a fuss.) Bottom line is while you may be running the game, it's not YOUR game. There's gonna be more people and the table, and they'll be patient if you make mistakes. Take it easy and don't be afraid to wing it. Getting one rule wrong won't ruin a game half as bad as stopping every five minutes to check the rulebook. Calm down, do your best and enjoy it mate.
If a player is making it worse for everyone warn them. If they don't stop respectfully kick him out.If you're playing with your lads look forward to having a good time.

>>66858654It helps they're stupid easy to paint. The worst thing I've had was painting all the little gravity generator things on the PHR ships and that's nothing compared to cranking out a 100 imperial guardsmen. The vast majority of the ships can be hit with two colors and a wash and look great. Hell these are my half finished ships and I'd probably be fine with Fielding them as is. You could knock out a starter box in a weekend easy.
>>66859015Fuck forgot to post the photo
What the shit? They seem to have updated the Strikehawk to be slower (16 instead of 24) and lose half of the troop capability (2 bases instead of 4), AND still cost 120 points. No fucking thanks, that's worse than the Lifthawk and APCs for 6 squads.
>>66859036Nice! Pretty sure I'll throw in for the 2 starter set next payday.
Heads up for whoever does the next OP post, the official DZC army builder link's changed. The trolltrader one just redirects to the dropzonecommander site, the direct link is now:>https://dropzonecommander.com/builder/Which is a lot more logical, in fairness.

>>66859722Honestly I think Anima BF was literally made for FF. I know it is frowned upon to speak out against GURPS but why spend all that time and energy in re-making what already exists?
>>66860225>Anima BFAs setting was written with FF series in mind, actual system is ugly mess of numbers, with levels and point-buy.Though, GURPS is very slippery at FF-high power levels, so probably there better to use something like Legends of the Wulin

Opinion on drones using gun-ports?I figure if a rigger is going to stuff his roadmaster full of fragile gun-toting drones anyway, why not just use them like mini turrets?Maybe put some of the drones/ports under the seats to avoid hindering passengers too much?
Is there some sort of ware option that makes you chemically sealed without wearing a suit?

>>66858239>Are the Druchii universally edge elves? Yes.>Are there any redeeming qualities to them or are they just all sadistic assholes?Druchii are capable of positive emotions (love, friendship, pride in others, etc.) but they parcel out these bits like they were the rarest treasure ever. Some druchii will never feel any real affection for anyone else. Tough luck if you're not a dark elf though, because they'll never care about you. Only counter-example I can think to that is Malus clearly cared about Spite.
>>66859693Beastmen reproduce in multiple ways. Yes, they rape women. Yes, they have beastwomen. They also spontaneously come into existence from a rare herdstone-linked spell (happened on at least one occasion) or more frequently from humans being 'changelings.'Beastmen are still in some quintessential way still human, which seems to account for why their reproduction is inextricably linked to humans.

Alien Edition>What is Genesys?Released in November 2017, Genesys is a pen-and-paper generic RPG system and toolkit by Fantasy Flight Games, using a refined version of the system presented by their Star Wars RPGs (Edge of the Empire, Age of Rebellion, Force and Destiny). Its central mechanic is the Narrative Dice System, using pools made of specialized dice to create narrative results. The intention is for the system to be a highly flexible narrative system, adaptable to most any conceivable setting and premise.https://www.fantasyflightgames.com/en/products/genesys/((LATEST NEWS))>The second official splatbook - Android: Shadow of the Beanstalk - is now availablehttps://www.fantasyflightgames.com/en/news/2019/2/7/available-now-february-7/https://www.fantasyflightgames.com/en/news/2018/10/2/shadow-of-the-beanstalk/>A new premade adventure for Shadow of the Beanstalk is availablehttps://www.fantasyflightgames.com/en/news/2019/3/22/night-on-the-town/>Player-made Genesys settingshttps://pastebin.com/7knE7KSvComment too long.
