Yeah, but it required infantry for the antipersonnel. The mech was a big dumb target while the infantry would just spam fire at the the big high armor mechs surrounded by weenie infantry units. They'd almost always miss, but the way AP worked was even if the shot missed, if you rolled enough to hit the units touching its base, they'd all eat the AP damage anyway while the Mad Cat spammed lasers to overheat the enemy mech.
BoardGameGeek is cucking to the extreme lately because Octavian is obsessed with pushing his progressive politics at all costs. You'll notice that's it's A-OK to start the fortieth thread accusing the hobby of being racist and sexist and attacking designers because they didn't make a Burger King Kid's Klub cast of characters to play as but the second anyone disagrees they're moderated into oblivion or allowed to be dogged up on. Fuck, someone linked me a thread they saw of some retard trying to virtue signal about China Flu and how much they're scared of and hate people who don't want to get their dose of gene therapy.
I think the hobby just needs a site where politics and off topic discussions are banned. If I go back to another forum to talk about games I only want to talk about games. That also goes with books and science. Keep your feelings out of it.
Don't let the place have a forum or comment function at all then. That's about as good a wall as you can build.
I've used the site for a long time and never once encountered any political sperging. Then again, as you said, I was using it for Space Crusade resources....
boardgames became mainstream, which means hordes of dumb consoomers, it's simply inevitable.

KDM isn't a boardgame, it's the coomer version of GW's business strategy.#notallboardgames

I agree wholeheartedly.
No experience, one of my GMs backed the Kickstarter and is of the opinion it does something fairly close to superpowers in WoD pretty well. It sounds interesting enough, I may keep my eyes out for a secondhand copy though because they're one of the businesses that is not getting my cash anymore.
Honestly, I've been kind of pumped for it, because it also does the one-off monster of the week concept better than Beast ever did.
From what my GM said also true, though what they mentioned there did also leave me certain they had taken some inspiration from the Kamen Rider shows where the powers were granted by experimentation. Nothing wrong with that but I suspect they don't admit it.
That might be true, but you don't have to say it out loud.
I remember the creators taking shit from the usual suspects over "hyper-sexualising" the women in the game but it was half-hearted and as far as I know never went anywhere because they made an ungodly amount of money off this goddamn game and just ignored the bitching.#notallboardgames

Sucks that their minis tend to be either 32mm or 54mm so their humans don't scale too well with other miniatures, but at least that doesn't matter with their monsters. I still want a Wet Nurse mini for my games. It has that "it" factor for an eldrich horror game that partakes in the macabre of inhuman breeding that tends to be only done with deepone like creatures. This would offer something a bit new.
Soon as the the second poster said that Gnomes aren't "freakshits" I stopped reading.
Players will always cling to variation. Everyone wants to play their own unique characters, that's always been true. In dnd you got classes, but that's mostly mechanics, gameplay, not rp. For rp what you got is the races (the backgrounds aren't significant enough). All of the uncommon races got something to them that has made them stick around. Tieflings got the funky color and horns, means they are cool as shit. Drow has a cool and unusual design as well and comes from one of the few 'other places' that is actually well defined and well known (the underdark. No one cares about their totalitarian city states). I don't understand the dragonborn but it's probably something akin to furries.
You don't understand, it's all in the interest of KEEPING politics out of tabletop gaming you SJW cuckold!
Who the fuck knows. Just makes me all the more glad to not ever be playing Dungeons and Dragons of ANY edition anymore if this is what the community has become.
Yeah, I'm glad I have a good group, but I wish we'd finally get around to playing a non-DnD system. I'm kind of tired of everyone talking about their deep and amazing stories, but then immediately turn around and discuss things in fricken WoW-tier MMO terms. It's why I appreciate channels like Dungeon Craft and simpler systems despite the memes about Theater kids playing in those system. I recently read a system called Barbarians of Lemuria and I really fell in love with the system. Literally just roll 2d6 plus modifiers with a constant DC of 9. The only downsides are that there aren't any proper combat rules in the pdf and it's only built around humans, so nonhumans will have to be figured out with the DM.
