  TSC Ep53: Tokens

  Oct 5, 20261h 10m

  Jesse, Scott, and Extended-Range Jo are trying to solve getting game information presented on the table. Movement dice. Enforce the colour? Providing them as a host. Replicators. Immersion. Dice vs chits. Different dice sizes. TMM, elevation, status, terrain. How to standardize? Blue for elevation. Terrain modifiers? Hex frames. A speakeasy. Clix dials. Magnetic devices. Jo doesn't like playing in a furball. Having a GM at a table. An app or a screen. Resistance to digital record sheets.

  TSC Ep52: Quads!...?

  Sep 28, 20261h 16m

  Jesse, Scott, and ER Jo are celebrating the One Year Anniversary of The Second Circuit by talking about Quads. Quads! Quads? Dougram, Fang of the Sun. Sidestepping. Jesse Two-Legs. 4x heat sinking. The Tarantula is a better looking Scorpion. Elephants, animals, and bugs. Can tanks do the same thing but better? Quads will be better at terrain! QuaDFA. Talons. The AeroGirder. It's subtle but you may notice that we don't like the Scorpion. Turrets and side-stepping versus arms and torso twisting. The Antlion is bad. The Great Turtle is hilarious. There's a stealth Xanthos.

  Sep 14, 20261h 12m

  Jesse and Extended-Range Jo have a little palaver about prepping their players for the new BattleTech Starter and Core Boxes. Onboarding to ilClan. New Tech. Change the covers! Loneliness Island. Many different armour types. Acid missiles? Why are pulse lasers easier to aim? Do you have to learn all this to play right off the bat? There are no energy shields! Reflective armour and how cool it is in Alpha Strike. The cheat sheet. Barrie's House Rule. What's a bombast laser? ilClan point value versus the older eras. Narrative versus randomized.
