I know SOMEBODY has to have the game. Would anyone care scanning the pages of the rulebook and uploading said scans here? Other visible means are fine too, such as PDF and RapidShit.
That would not be a good idea.
Elaborate please.
Because they're still selling it? Because it's copyrighted?Because I could get sued?

They're still selling that? I thought FASA was dead.

FASA is dead, Wizkids owns the Battletech license which they allow through an agreement for Iron Wind Metals to release the rules and miniatures for Classic Battletech which is just the original rules.I'd sell you my old rules if I still had them. I sold them as I've grown more favorably of Heavy Gear for my mech games.That is how it's still being sold.

I liked the game... until I realized it was just all about hit point attrition. Shoot anything often enough and it will die. You could kill an assault mech with an assault rifle given enough time.

We are the Borg. Lower your shields and surrender your ships. We will add your biological and technological distinctiveness to our own. Your culture will adapt to service us. Resistance is futile
Uh, I think the Borg would probably get their asses handed to them. If not by humans, then by orks calling a Waaagh when they see his new opponent.In the W40k universe, no race is as good with tractor beams and energy shields as the orks-- so they'd easilly be able to board in ship to spacehulk battles, which means lots and lots of torn apart borgs. The best kind, ya know?I think the Borg would probably suffer the same fate as the Necrons if they tried to enter the warp-- they'd fail. If I remember correctly, it requires a strong psychic presence to do so, and the borg's systems are purely technological in nature. The Tau, can't enter the warp by themselves, for example-- their faster than light travel is purely technological in nature.

>>355 If I remember correctly, Tau/Dark Age of Technology Mankind travelled by basically getting close to the warp, dimensionally speaking, and being shoved back out. It's slow, but it worked. The Imperium's warp travel is faster, but much more dangerous.And we still have no fucking clue how the Necrons do it. My theory is gravity manipulation to the point that physical laws are bent in such a manner as to make intertia-less travel possible.

>>355My favorite thread revived?! YAY!Yes, as I recall, travel through the warp itself does require an actual psychic presense, so that could be a way for them to escape.However, the Borg themselves aren't completely without "psykers" of a sort. There are many races in Star Trek with telepathic and telekinetic abilites. Admitedly, with the likes of the Vulcans it can take a lifetime of experiance, training and discipline to even begin to approach the kind of power 40K psykers have, but for some other races, such as the Betazoids or the Okampans, Psychic powers can manifest into abilities that dwarf those of even the Eldar Farseers (pic related).The hiccup then is 1) If the borg's psykers can provide the collective with the means to navigate the warp and 2) How they would figure out how to do it. 2 is easy, it just requires assimilating the right person. 1 is trickier, and depends a lot on exactly how warp navigation is performed and if Star Trek psychic abilites are "compatible"

I'd think if the Borg assimilated psykers, then the hive mind would have pysker abilities, and daemons would see it as an all-you-can-eat buffet.The only other hive minds are the Tyranids, and they cause a shadow in the Warp. Maybe the Borg would do the same, esp. since the Warp is emotions made manifest and the Borg have excised emotion from themselves?I can see Bord assimilating wyrdboyz orkz, to try to learn psyker abilities, and never quite learning it once that first pysker explodes his head and every head in the same hivemind.

An alpha level psyker would tear a borg cube apart in seconds.
The borg are in the wrong universe.Time travel is out. By nature it screws causality to hell and that can be predicted and counterd. Eldrad alone would have atleast three different contingencies in the works. The ork waaahg would make assimilation suicidal.Eldar are a psychic race and have much experience in battles of wills. The tyranids would just EAT the borg.The Necrons wouldn't give them the time of day, The borg would take decades trying to figure out how to assimilate necrodermis.Chaos daemons would pwn them due to their illogical nature. Spacemarines wouldn't let themselves be assimilated, they'd just beat the shit out of any drone that tried.The tau and Imperial guard would simply overwhelm borg shields.

>>740 >>293 >>304 >>355 You all forget one major thing: The borg would assimilate in melee combat and do not care about losses. They can also assimliate ships and vehicles and LOVE melee combat. That is their strong point. Whats this? an ark waaagh? hey, something will get assimilated. all they need is a grot. a single grot. and now they have techno squigoths. remember? all orkoids have the dna potential to produce EVERY strain of orkoid in their dna. There is a similar issue with using krrot against them. and the borg looting tau technology would be REAAALY bad. Borg SPheres with rail cannons and drones with built in crisis suits.Yes bolters would wreck face. Unfortunately that doesnt help the minute dreadnoughts are assimilated. as for the nids? the borg queen would see them as a buffet. another hivemind? and they only live to eat and reproduce? awesome. assimilate them all and merge the hive minds. Ultimately, chaos and the necrons are the only ones capable of putting on a fight ( and possibly the eldar, if they can get enough avatars together to reform Khain or if they can summon Cegorach).

I'd like to see a drone that can get a space marine to hold still long enough to get the nanomachines in it before it gets its bollocks ripped off.The eldar DO have a counter against the borg, Psyichicly distrupt the collective.Adaptation is a simple matter against precision weapons like phasers, but bolters and massed lasguns simply overwhelm defenses.There was a match on CBUB that demonstrated that Xenomorphs(Aliens) could take down the borg. Who do you think the Xenomorphs are based off of.The borg come from a univers of pansies so you can't expect much

It has all the same hang ups as Palladium's other games. Well not completely, it's not as prone to power gaming as Rifts is.When playing TMNT RPG we didn't use any of the characters, we created out own mutant animals. And our games ended up being more humor than serious mutant fights. The "I serve Justice" instance was just to silly to begin with.

New release of Savage Worlds rulebook, Its going to cost around $10 and is 160 pages long, The Str+Number damage system has been replaced with the "Way of the Brave" rules from Deadlands: Reloaded and they have new chase rules.I think I'm going to get a couple copies of it, $10 for a full rulebook is a good deal.

Largely depends on what you are wanting to make your chapter like. Is there a particular theme you want to go for, you may want to focus on that. If not, then you might what to look into the traits and faults you want first, and then build a background fitting to that.
thanks for the advice ^^
