Pilot Cards: New School Meets Old School
« on: 20 February 2019, 13:12:58 »
I love the aesthetics and utility of Catalyst's new pilot cards.  For fun, I decided to use them as a template and model cards for the original Black Widow Company, from the FASA scenario pack.  I tried to pick special abilities from Campaign Operations that best corresponded with their bios. 

First up - Natasha Kerensky...before she learned how to shoot.  Or pilot.

The original MechWarrior RPG book had some great interior color plates, and the 'Mech Recognition Cards filled in the rest.  I loves me some flatbed scanner.

I'm seeing lots of "Lucky" and no "Snipers" (though a few "Range Masters").  Maybe mix it up a little more?  Otherwise, an excellent effort!  :thumbsup:

Given the four point limit, Lucky works as a filler to bring the point total up. 

I’m also trying to match the flavor text.  Lots of the characters in the first wave of scenario packs had gambling problems or were described as lucky. 

Sniper's four point cost made it hard to fit in for characters with fairly average gunnery scores, who generally had character traits that fit other PSAs better.
