  • I am all for whatever stirs up more content and discussion that isn't memes.

  • I am looking forward to delving into the Dark Sun book.

  • That's a pretty good testimonial. Thank you for taking the time to share it with me.

  • They do make communication more efficient, as long as everyone understands the definition. If they don't, then acronyms and initials quickly make the communication inefficient, or worse, make the person that isn't in the know feel excluded. In my professional life, I spend a lot of my time translating acronyms and trying to help people navigate the confusion of not knowing what things mean and wondering if they're in over their head, all due to the constant use of jargon.

    My suggestion is to definite your acronyms the first time you use them or, if it's a short message, spell the whole thing out and don't mention the abbreviation at all.

  • I don't know what the implied demographic is, but I assume I am not in it. I suppose that vibe is part of why I don't feel the desire to venture further into the fediverse.

  • My collection of games I don't play continues to grow. The Pirates of Drinax bundle is a pretty good haul. If I ever convince my group to play Traveller for a campaign, it will likely be that.

  • I would have assumed the audience for this post is TTRPG nerds.

  • What is a pigeon totem? It sounds made up.

  • For anybody else that hates needless acronyms, FOSS apparently stands for Free and Open Source Software.

  • Thank you for continuing to share these!

  • To clarify for others considering, the sale is for the PDF. I would be more likely to get this if it was a hard copy.

  • I am in the same boat as you. I looked at this and thought about buying it but, I don't need it so I didn't. I could be convinced otherwise but I would rather buy more sourcebooks that I may or may not read/use.

  • I would have crossposted to sci-fi, but I don't know how.

  • Yes, original Battletech was simulating large scale mech warfare with collectible minis (let's face it though, most people just liked to paint and have them). The Battletech RPG (to my understanding) is that flavor adapted to a TTRPG.

    If you like mechs and video gaming, I encourage you to check out the MechWarrior series. It is the video game adaptation of Battletech.

  • The site appears to be back up now.

    And yes, at the very basic level, all these settings involve mechs. Lancer would probably be closer in theme to Evangelion, if you wanted to run it that way. Battletech would be a crunchy cousin, due to its roots as a war game.

  • I would like an excuse to buy Battletech, but just can't do it when I could play Lancer instead. Can anyone convince me I'm wrong?

  • That makes sense then. Double the time, double the things you learn from it.

  • If people are living twice as long in this universe, why would they not double the length of a term? Instead they've doubled the skills acquired per term. That doesn't make any sense given the context of living longer. Am I missing something?
