BattleTech: Beyond Electrodrome...COMPLETE!
Folks, it is with great pride that I present to you the completed BattleTech: Beyond Electrodrome arena expansion, ported to Death From Above Wargaming’s BattleTech: Destiny!
Its fast. Its furious. Its chaotic. Its Electrodrome!
Imagine fierce urban combat set in Dredd’s Megacity 1, in the Los Angeles of Bladerunner or Elysium, in the wasted future of Mad Max, all sprayed against the backdrop of indifferent political nihilism of Anyplace, USA in 2022.
You’re nobody from nowhere, somehow positioned to fight gladiatorial bouts on the open streets, with the local populace lending their support to either you or your opponent. Contraband lasers and shoulder-fired missiles dart from open windows. The local junkshops field one of their shambling junkmechs in a desperate bid to sway the outcome of the bout and earn the winnings needed to feed their families. The city’s elite join in their own way as artillery rounds arc overhead, carrying a horrific plethora of possible payloads. Maybe it will be napalm, to punish the people for getting involved. Then again, maybe it will be T-shirts and meal vouchers to keep their morale and their heads above water for just a little while longer.
Bet on the napalm.
Track your pilot’s career as they rise up from the filth of the JunkLeagues and BugLeagues all the way to the top. As your reputation grows, the people and the oligarchs take notice and reward your fame. Upgrade your home stable, draw more powerful assets to the battlefield in the form of airstrikes, turrets, traps, crack infantry troops, and crowd favorites like The Boys, heavily armed and armored twin Tyrannosaurs from the pits of hell.
As you progress further and the Megacorporations see the spark of greatness in your victories, they open their arsenals to you. Perhaps Luxor will favor you with their Harrier-type jump jets, and make you an aerial menace. Perhaps Blyat! Combatives will favor you with their experimental powder-actuated vorpal melee weapon systems. Or maybe you will be chosen by Parti-Kill to wield their almighty Chain Lightning Hand of God PPC conversion kit. Its your choice to make.
Also included are rules for a new mech-scale weapon (the single and double-barreled payload gun), drugs, meds, poisons, infantry upgrades, traps, turrets, audience participation, opportunistic civilians, Meshuggah battle armor troopers, and and over 30 more animal and reinforcement units.
Click below for all of this and more, 66 pages of glory, for you, for free!
Live for spectacle. Die for spectacle. Surrender to the Electrodrome!
BattleTech: Beyond Electrodrome
Complete and ready for your enjoyment. v0.5 Alpha
And now that this beautiful bitching behemoth is birthed, the real work starts: playtesting and polishing the ever-loving shit out of it.
Its gonna take a crew. Email me at rob@godspargames.com if you want to help. Volunteers will be rewarded with an eternity of axes to the thorax in the halls of Valhalla. In a good way.
