Title: A Time of War Resources in other BT Books?
Post by: Tycho on 13 October 2012, 17:23:46: Hi,

I would like to know which Books have Rules or Expansion for A Time of War.

I have "A Time of War" and the "A Time of War Companion" pdf, but are there any other books that have resources. I also have most of the older 3rd Edition Books, so I am just looking for new Stuff specifically for A Time of War.

Thanks,
Tycho

Becouse first releases of Handbook serie predate ATOW, likely not those. Revised Editions anyone?

Maybe some of the changes put up in the downloads section...

It's easy enough to convert, and ATOW Companion has rules for full conversions from MW3 to ATOW.

Yep, including character sheets and an Adventure.

I have most of the House Handbooks, but they are all MW3rd afaik. I don't know if anybody knows, but is there going to be aToW stuff in the upcoming Kurita Housebook?

Post by: BirdofPrey on 19 October 2012, 09:49:28: From Herb's answer in the ask CGL section, the stuff in the handbooks has been worked into AToW for the most part.
Era reports contain information to let you create characters in other eras of battletech (AFAIK AToW is set right after the Jihad), so are nice to have, and we now have the Companion which is great.

Anything for 3025, 3028, or 3039?

Post by: BirdofPrey on 23 October 2012, 13:21:54: I would say those three dates correspond to the same era.
Regardless, they haven't come out with an Era report for that time yet. I am eagerly awaiting some succession wars era reports myself.

I should mention I forgot to mention that Era Digests also contain Role Playing stuff (pretty much the same stuff as Era Reports: life paths and wealth/income modifications)

Post by: monbvol on 10 November 2012, 19:19:20: But post FRR Independence, War of 3039, and 4th Succession War. All three of those had significant impact on fairly sizable chunks of space.
