' Grandfather always did say, the fish that sheds no scales will never be a Dragon, or something like that.' He thought, before watching as the gaijin settled, clearly having found no way to continue to fight back in this situation. Still, Daigo could adapt, had to, really, in this life. The boss had hardly spoken about all this barroom brawl chaos out of a weekend chophouse flick. Pop in, give the old man a bit of hell, get out. ' This has been,' Daigo thought as he held the knife to the young woman's throat,' An absolute clusterfuck.' In the end, there wasn't anything I could do but play it by ear and hope the old man had a card to play.

It seemed that life wasn't quite an action movie for me just yet. No conveniently placed Obi sashes or loose long floorboards or anything to let me change things up and catch them off guard. I looked over wrecked shelves and scattered clothes, hoping for some kind of tool I could use to turn things around. I did have the boot knife, but I hadn't had a chance to pull it during the fight, and escalating had, at the time, seemed like a bad idea. I kept my gun at the hanger, knowing damned well I didn't want to be a foreigner with a gun in Combine territory and risk getting caught. No way to close the distance before he made a move, and there was no way Daichi or I could distract them well enough for one of us to slip close. I looked to the cowering desk girl, the wrecked ruins of the store. My eyes narrowed and brow furrowed under my large hat as I tried to find a solution for the situation in front of me. I stopped, looking at Grease as he held a knife at the throat of the old man's niece. hope this works out well for people, since It took a bit of work. Just had to wrap up some structural edits and the like. Yes, the Gae Bolg is more or less a naval gun from the perspective of BT. Alongside the plot of Theo and Takashi's little internal struggle over what defines the combine and what parts of its traditionalism and views are its better nature being one of the best bits in Battletech, I mean.Īlso congratulations, you get a cookie. It's painfully Japanese in the literal sense, that it's painful for itself and I think that's kind of neat. It's part of the Combine's core identity because of it, so many clashing ideas of what the Combine should be and what it is and how it should move forward. But the Combine, as a product of needing to be a mishmash of literally every conception of what Japan was like in the 70's to 80's ever, is one of the most varied of the Successor States culturally, since it needs to somehow accommodate a borderline cyberpunk modern-esque Neo-Japan next to a hyper traditionalist feudalist historic recreational drama and literally just weeb views of Japan during the 80s.

Plus people overstate how much the Combine sucks in the modern era Sure, it's bad in a lot of ways, but that's most Successor States. It's not like I started in Prussian Assault Mech Land or the borderline failed state that never matters that is the FWL. I'm quite fond of Planet Bob in this series.Click to shrink.Because it's the most interesting during this time period, and pretty much the only one where this plot could actually work since they're the ones that take the brunt of the initial rush from the Clans? And I could always be worse, by like a lot. They focus on a single planet and include an adventure framework for the location.

Sadly, finding any of them in print is nigh on impossible, but again, pdf is your friend. The Handbook series is an updated version of the old house books, and they are quite in depth look at a single faction and what their culture is broadly like. They're a great way to find a corner of the BTU and start pulling.

If you're absolutely unfamiliar with the lore, Tex Talks Battletech is an excellent place to start, particularly the episodes on the Amaris Civil War and the founding of the Clans. Destiny and AToW are both solid from what I've heard, and both should have fair amounts of backstory and in universe history.

I'm not going to swear on a stack of TRO 3025s, but I think most of the old Fasa books are available as pdfs from CGL and/or dtrpg (problematic art scrubbed, of course).
