Greetings, Dan here!
Welcome back to the Beneath Twisted Earth: Overdrive preview series where you can get a sneak peak into each of the sections contained in the expansion. Naturally, you cannot have an expansion to a mech game without new equipment for your machine! This week begins our dive into the expanded garage section with new Utility Systems. One of the goals for new equipment options for mechs in this expansion was to add options that some may have found missing in the core rules. While through open theming of the existing mechanics, players could build almost any mech they could think of, there were just some specialty options that didn't quite make it into the available options. The new sets of equipment will help greatly expand into these mech fiction niches while also adding new and exciting abilities in combat.
While I've been sharing two options from each section thus far, I decided to include three three this time, as one is a rather special addition:
Combiner Mechs was something that I would have liked to have included in the core rules, but it took some time to work out how best to represent mechs of that nature in The Vibe System. Next time we'll take a look at the Combiner Rules with a special advance PDF that can be used right away with any BTE Campaigns currently running out there.
In the meantime, thank you for your interest. I look forward to seeing you at the launch of the premium versions of Beneath Twisted Earth and Beneath Twisted Earth Overdrive!
