Dream Pod 9 is releasing new high-quality PDFs of 22 1st edition Heavy Gear books, generated from the original electronic files.  All 22 books are available in a half-price bundle.
These are great rpg & wargaming products.  I have hardcopies of all of these titles, and this bundle is a great deal.  Highly recommend getting them if you’re into tabletop mecha gaming.
From Dream Pod 9′s press release:
Until now the older Heavy Gear ebooks available on DriveThruRPG have been scanned copies of the original printed books. Dream Pod 9 is happy to announce the release of high-quality electronic format ebooks for the Heavy Gear Classic Roleplaying & Tactical Game publications. The first 22 Revitalized titles are now live on DriveThruRPG for purchase and include the following.
The Heavy Gear Revitalized titles are made possible by the team of Michael Butt (Project Manager) and Brad Fischer (Roaring Mouse Graphics) who managed to converted the old Macintosh Pager Maker layout files and relay them out in modern Adobe format. A big thank you to Michael and Brad for taking on the months of work required to revitalize all the old Dream Pod 9 Heavy Gear products.

It feels like there's been this very particular subset of the Pacific Rim fandom who were into it specifically for how its central conceit blurs the line between intimacy and codependency, but felt constrained by the fundamental optimism of the source material – like no matter how fucked up they made it, there was something basic and structural embedded in it that meant it could never be fucked up enough.
And then Armored Core VI came along.

Lancer on a physical tabletop with Lego minis!
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
We finally did the thing! I roped my siblings into playtesting a game of Lancer using Legos and a physical tabletop. The sitrep was to destroy five buildings, marked in red, because the Karrakins were using the installation to track their mobile hidden base (our home campaign is a blatant ripoff of Deserts of Kharak).

Things that need improvement:
better way to measure tiles. We were doing 4cm/space and had to do a lot of multiplication. Going to try wood dowels with tiles marked + get some kind of grid underlay.
similarly, we need aoe templates
I used too much terrain, it got messy
should get status rings/tokens to mark lock-on, etc

Things that worked well:
it was sick as hell to be able to physically destroy Lego terrain and mechs as they fell
we used physical dice? For lancer?? And it turns out clicky clack math rocks continue to be inherently great.
witchdice works well on mobile devices for character sheets so not every PC had to have a full laptop
different height-terrain was fun, though it made movement costs tricky to calculate
I'm excited to keep trying out different setups. All the terrain and stuff I've collected is pretty modular (lego makes that easy) so it'll be fun to see how wide a range of map types is possible.

CELESTIAL BODIES IS NOW OUT! GO GET IT!
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
Our (myself and @basilisika's) mecha game is FINALLY OUT! Go get it here!
(You may have read my post about The Grid™️ a little while ago. This is that!)
We're running an itchfund to raise a little so we can devote the time and energy to create our full vision of what this game can be. The stuff you're seeing here is only a fraction of this game's potential: please help us get the whole way. In exchange, you'll get the Terrestrial Edition right now (a playable version with the base concepts and a smattering of content to get you started). If you give us a little more we'll make more content for you too! Weapons, factions, and even new Frames entirely are on the table.
(We also have community copies available, and those higher tiers will unlock more too.)
What are you waiting for! Go get it!

"You were beautiful. Your antenna outstretched, piercing the heavens and reaching to god. Even if you fell eventually, you were salvation. You were the saving grace to humanity being the higher life form of them all. You shall be reborn. And from those ashes you will finally get your well deserved death."

Another batch of high-quality PDFs of 1st & 2nd edition Heavy Gear books, hexmaps & counter sheets.  These are expensive, but currently available in a half-priced bundle.  A great deal if you’re a fan of mecha gaming - tabletop rpgs or wargames.

I'm such a mech sicko that I've been buying empty Ral Partha boxes from 1988 in order to scan and archive the Steve Venters cover artwork, because they can't really be found in decent quality online. The first one up is the Ral Partha Assault Lance #battletech #mechwarrior
