House Handbooks and AToW?
« on: 19 July 2012, 23:15:07 »
Are the Handbook stats for creatures and equipment usable for A Time of War?  Is there some resource that can convert the Classic Battletech RPG stats to AToW?

Thanks!

AToW Companion will probably handle both cases.
It's not about winning or losing, no it's all about how many chapters have you added to the rule books after your crazy antics.

Hello,

There have been some variances in the stats of the creatures presented in prior Handbooks to A Time of War rules. Many of these are an effect of game balancing, however, making their changes more arbitrary. Fortunately, because the A Time of War system derives so closely from MechWarrior 3rd Edition (CBT: RPG), conversion is otherwise a fairly direct effort, largely involving "delete the 'D6'"

Hopefully, that helps.

Thank you,
