You should print David's epic rant on t-shirts. Picture of Muscle Beach Longbottom on fire: optional.

At what point does dissipation drop to 1? When it takes one damage or two? I'm guessing one.

Iron Tyrants / Rules Questions
« on: August 19, 2011, 03:29:55 PM »
Dissipation has Structure 2. Does dissipation drop to the minimum of 1 after it takes any damage (1 of 2) or after it's completely destroyed (2 of 2)? Is the reason it has two hit boxes at all just so that it has to take two damage before you start getting overload-as-damage instead?
Quote
Dissipation may not be reduced below 1. If Dissipation is already down to 1 before the damage is dealt, that damage is ignored; the unit instead gains overload equal to the amount of damage that would have been dealt to Dissipation. Damage to Dissipation never rolls up.

Iron Tyrants Quick Reference:
Errata: "result" is misspelled "reuslt" at the top of the third column.
As a fighting mech newb, I have suggestions.
The collection of tables is ok, but I'm surprised there's no mention of how to do an attack, which is seven steps in the book and also the most common action in the game. Not all steps need a summary, but at least list them and mention the three rolls: attack, penetration, and damage. How to roll an attack, what a devastating hit is, and that you can gain overload to reroll a die. How to roll penetration and what a critical hit is. How to roll for damage — this one you've got covered. It's ok that melee and ram attacks are mentioned, but I think they could fit in one third the space.
A quick reminder of initiative, tactics dice, and blitz would also be great. Include a summary of rush. If there's not space for cover and elevation, consider referencing the pages in the book for those rules or make the Quick Reference double-sided. You could make more space by moving the faction logos to the top near the Iron Tyrants logo.

Finished!
Errata: Twice on page 71, "destroy" is misspelled "destory".
Errata: The Reaver's Executioner Cannons should have Structure 3 because they're Durable (page 153).
Suggestion: Add entries for Strategy Dice and Tactics Dice to the Index.

I'd be in for BW or Houses. I can also run FreeMarket if people are interested.

I believe we're discussing the BG's Intervention of Josh episode in which Josh was lured to the intervention on the promise of awards for “Mr. Sexy Gaming Podcaster 2008″.

I bet Polar Bear replaces Snowstorm, which isn't explicitly under Terrain (although Storm is).

I saved it until now. I still have RPGs from Gen Con that I haven't gotten to yet.
But I will get to them. Oh yes, I will.
