Mechwarrior Chimera Edition

[Chimera]

OK, these are links to my current Mechwarrior Chimera edition project.

I would like to run another game one day but some of the rules from the current edition are both complex and pointless.
I am borrowing here from all mechwarrior editions as well as traveller.
I don't want to deviate from 2d6 as this is not a game about funky mechanics.
The current equipment lists and damage system are fine.
I don't want/expect players to purchase a rule book.

Brunhilde called this my C&C edition Mechwarrior game. Somewhat true as the goal of a simple but detailed game ring true.

Not sure if its intended or not, but these docs dont have public sharing.  Are we to request the share or was it a mistake on your part having not set up the correct share level?

Assume slackness

Ok, That should fix it, I'm currently working on the combat one.

It's interesting reading older RPGs. They were less text intensive. This is good, and bad.
But I do think the current trend for HUGE rpg books is turning me off some of them. I liked the more discreet books.

Eg, in most books now it takes 1-2 pages to explain action types. As opposed to a paragraph in older books. It almost gets explained to death and i never really recall it causing a problem being shorter... Padding out, or explaining in depth. The thing is most players don't really read it anyway.
